Now we have tasted billions, if not millions, of foods on this show, but today we’re taking it a step further tasting food within food. Yes, a surprise ingredient has been mixed into everything we’re going to eat today. But how much of it will we need to eat before we figure out what it is? Okay, boys, this oatmeal was made with one teaspoon of a surprise ingredient that you’re not gonna like, and you’re gonna taste it and try and guess what that surprise ingredient is. If you can’t guess it with this version of the dish, we’re gonna bring out more oatmeal, more of the surprise ingredient until you can actually guess what it is. So it’s always oatmeal? For this round, it’s always oatmeal. It will always be oatmeal as long as it’s oatmeal right here. That’s what I didn’t understand. That’s not good oatmeal. But at this point, all I’m saying is I don’t like this oatmeal. It’s already not great, you’re right. But I’m not like, something’s wrong with this oatmeal. I’m almost like that. No, I think there’s something wrong with this oatmeal on your blip. It’s so bland. I smell more than I taste. I don’t know what it is, but I’ll guess. 3, 2, 1. Vinegar. Dirty sock scrapings. Does it have to be… Is it a legitimate ingredient or could it be dirty socks scrapings? Well, what I like about your guess, Link, is that it’s very, very specific. Apple cider vinegar. White vinegar. Yes, it’s white vinegar. Already? Yeah! I smelled it. How many levels of this did you prepare? Five. Five? Yeah, bring them in. Let’s see when Link can taste it. What? I smell vinegar. But now I know the answer. I smelled vinegar, but I didn’t taste it. I just thought that the bowl bring in the most extreme one. Hey, what? So I thought the bowl was just clean. Huh? It probably is. Vinegar. Taste the one that’s got five levels in it. Yeah, that one’s got some sour. So second one, the one you just tasted has 2.5 teaspoons. I don’t I would’ve- The third one has four teaspoons. No, this is the fifth one. Oh. Fifth one has 2.5 tablespoons. Wow. Is it obvious? Ironically, it’s the best one. I mean, at least you’ve committed. It tastes like vinegar. It tastes like vinegar. But now I know it. It tastes like thick vinegar. And by this point I’d be guessing vinegar and that would be late. As you can see, we can’t. Okay, we are going to be mixing the smelling portion of this because it’s, can you taste the hidden ingredients? Yeah. Right. Please try not to smell. 80% of taste is smell. Well, if you accidentally I’m just rounding up Smell it it’s fine. Just smell it through your mouth. But you can’t smell it directly through your nose. Right. I’m gonna just bite. Okay. This is a cinnamon roll. You each have half and it has half an ounce of a surprise ingredient in it. Hmm. Oh. Okay. Got it. It was good until it wasn’t good. Got it. Oh gosh. What is that? I almost know. I think I know it. 3, 2, 1. Blood. Liver. Link, you got it. Yes, because it was metallic. There’s a little bit of metallic something in there. Yeah, it was very organy. Ooh, is that actually it right there? Maybe. Round one. Y’all suckers. How many rounds of this one did y’all make? Four? You know the interesting thing- So now Rhett has to eat the fourth one. Is this four? Yeah. You know the interesting thing is that- Oh God, it’s horrible. You can’t smell the liver. I mean, probably on that one. I’m saying on the initial one it was a really that bitter. I tasted blood. Go again. Hold on. Not that part. You have to bite the middle. See? It’s horrible. It’s mixed in all over it, man. Well, you lost this round. So you have to eat. That’s not the rules. You have to eat the worst one. Between the two of us we are two for two. You’re really on it today. We’re gonna have to make it a little bit harder. Okay. This guacamole has half a teaspoon of the surprise ingredient. Half a teaspoon, plenty for one of us to identify. What is the practical application of being good at this? Tasting the king’s food. Yeah. Yeah. That’s what it is. Don’t smell it. I’m not, I’m just putting it closer. Don’t put it under your nose, keep it back until it goes in the hole. I’m putting it in the hole, King. Put it definitely in the hole. King don’t be so mean. Definitely. Do it. King don’t be so mean to your guy that tastes the food for you. Why am I tasting it at the same time? Because we’re buddies. Go. It’s something bad. I really want to get this. Ugh. I took a beer in the shower. No, I took a beer tour and they told us how to taste it. Oh yeah. I was there. You breathe out your nose and sometimes you breathe, sometimes you do that. When I breathe out, I’m getting something nasty. What would that be? Okay. 3, 2, 1. Fish guts. Bile. Incorrect. Let’s take it up a notch. Alright. How much more is in this one? This is one teaspoon. So twice as much as the last survey. It’s already bad though. It’s just like, I’m so scared. It was an aftertaste kind of thing, don’t you think? Guacamole. Swallow. Ugh. Uh, uh. Okay. Three, two. Hold on. Hold on. I think I got it. This is making me think that it’s something that Link doesn’t like. You like it? No, it’s that I’m not having the… Like what is happening to you is not happening to me. Are you not tasting anything? This is like somebody who tastes cilantro and it tastes like soap and then another person just tastes whatever cilantro tastes like. Well, I mean. There’s something off about it. Something that I don’t like that you like probably. It’s off, but it’s not- My stomach is hurting. Alright, I’m ready. I’m ready to guess. Pony up, boy. Okay. You ready? 3, 2, 1. Cod sperm. Shrimp. Nope. Third serving. This is two teaspoons. We were doing so good. Because it is milky. It is smooth. Whatever it is. Maybe it was ground. I hate it. It’s getting saltier. Yeah. It feels like it’s in the seafood category. Well, that’s the only place I’ve been. Oh God. Okay. But it’s not nearly as bad to me as it is to you. But I think it’s pretty liquified because I’m not seeing any evidence of it and it didn’t change the color of it. Okay. Oh, okay. Wow. Now that it’s just on the breath. I know. It’s lingering and it’s- Stinky. And it’s got a- Stinky, stinky. It has like a oiliness to it that’s making it stick to your tongue. It’s like cat food or something. Okay. Okay. Three, two, one. Uni. Squid ink. Fourth serving. This one has four teaspoons. Uni’s a good guess. We were doing so good. It’s also something that can be… Oh, you know what? Something that can be what? Hidden in a green dish. Hah. I think I know now. I think I know now. Hold on. I’m about to know. I think I know now. What is this? It’s like a… Okay. Alright, I think I got it. 3, 2, 1. Fish sauce. Yes. Ah, we got it at the same time. We figured it out at the same time. So good. It’s so bad. God, how many more rounds of this? I don’t need to know. Just one more. Bring it out. I don’t need to know. I don’t need to know. Bring it out. It’s right there. It’s out. It’s right here. But you don’t need to taste it. We both got it right. We both got it right. Ugh! Hey, but here’s the thing. It wasn’t that bad to me. I put fish sauce in a lot of stuff because I like the- And I don’t. Dimension, the umami. Yeah, yep. So you couldn’t get it. Wow. Hmm. You may know over on the Mythical Society, we have one shot standalone tabletop role play episodes in “Roll for Mythicality.” Yes. The series over there. Episode four is out now. Have you heard about it? Yes. I heard that Emily, Mikayla V and Lucas are playing magical cats and dogs on the search for a very important lost tennis ball. Sounds cute, but also wild. Yeah, I heard it got outta control. TJ came in after he had filmed the episode and he was like, that group was very difficult to control. Check it out on The Mythical Society. And don’t forget, you can get 20% off your membership if you join now. 20%. Huh. Ha ha. That’s a lot. Okay. We have some hot chocolate here. It has one teaspoon of a surprise ingredient. I mean, chocolate really covers a world of herb. It’s already off. Yeah. Be like something just turned. I’ll be like, “Hey, your chocolate turned.” It’s already off. I want to smell. But that’s against the rules. It’s very subtle. Especially after all that fish sauce. Okay. 3, 2, 1. Shoe polish. Lamb. Let’s bring in the next cup. Brr. This one has two teaspoons. You get anything? It’s better. It’s better than the previous one. I’m tasting less of it in that one. Are you tasting? Hm? Can I do a little bit of this? It’s making my tongue numb a little bit. Get rid of that though. Making your tongue numb? Tongue numb. Tum nung. We’re not going to get it on this round. Let’s guess. 3, 2, 1. Sea water. Hot dog water. Nope. Let’s bring in the third cup. You think it’s salty. Has four teaspoons. You first. I mean, is this something like a wicked grandmother would do to the grandchildren and everything? “See if you could tackle what I’ve put in your…” Okay. You’re gonna taste something now. You tasted it? I don’t know what it is, but, yeah. And is that the side you drank out of? Yeah. There’s something in there. What? Interesting. Okay. All right, I’ll have a guess and then I can tell you what I’m thinking. 3, 2, 1. Worcestershire sauce. Plum juice. No. So, I said plum juice. I thought it was, it almost tasted like baby food. Plum juice? Baby food. Like plum baby food. It tasted like a condiment. Like prune juice? It tasted like prunes. It tasted like a condiment. Pure prunes. To me it did. But like horseradish, no way. It got sweeter. This is the final one that we have prepared. Now we are willing to go make another one, but this has eight teaspoons. Oh, it clearly tastes like what it is, but I can’t identify it because it’s in chocolate. And also maybe I’m just dumb. It’s not the worst thing I’ve had today. It’s strange. Okay. I gotta guess. 3, 2, 1. Ketchup. Hey! Yes. We got it. I almost said ketchup on the last one. I was like, that’s too straightforward. See, but I was closer with the prune thing. I think I should- Oh no, that’s not how it works. Prune juice. I said Worcestershire sauce, which is a condiment. It’s right next to the ketchup in the fridge. Worcestershire has nothing to do with ketchup. Yeah, it does a condiment. You put it on- Ketchup. Tomatoes. Plums got nothing to do with tomatoes. Tomatoes and plums are- He’s crazy. They’re from the same- No, they’re not. Branch of the evolutionary tree. No, they’re not. Yes. Yes they are. We both got it on the same round. And by the way, I was thinking ketchup in the previous round. Maybe I should win. I was thinking ketchup. That’s how good your reasoning was. I don’t think it was that bad. I recommend it. Well, the tie is scored, which means in “Good Mythical Morning” you both get to hear crew secrets. Oh, okay. Great. Thanks for coming and sharing this video. You know what time it is. I’m Eliana. And I’m Catherine. And we just climbed to the top of the incline in Manatees Springs, Colorado. And it’s time to spin the wheel of Mythicality. Be careful up there. Don’t laugh your way off the top. That’s right. They got the same hairstyle and they each have one of those things in their ear. What were they doing? Listening to a director. Maybe both listening to a book on tape that sharing of an experience. Okay. Hey, we’re going to donate $1,000 to the Hydrocephalus Association to aid in their mission to support those affected by hydrocephalus through research, advocacy, and education. And what is that? That is a chronic neurological condition that can affect everyone from infants to older adults. And you can join us in giving at Hydroassoc.org. Thanks for being your mythical best.
