Today we’re looking back on our favorite food creations of 2022. – Let’s talk about that. (cheerful music) Good Mythical Morning. – We did it! We made it through another year! Another year older, can you tell? – Happy holidays. Yeah, dude. – Another year wiser, can you tell? You look very wise today, Link. And another year- – I look like I can’t shave my own face. – Yeah, we’ll talk about that in a second. Another year of growing even more appreciative of our Mythical family, our Mythical family that is here with us in this room. (crew applauds) – And extending across the globe. – Our Mythical family that is there on the other side of this screen. This little Mythical family right here, father and son. (crew laughs) Son, it looks like you hurt… – I hurt myself, Dad. – What happened? – Why can’t… Can I be the dad tomorrow? Is that what we’re gonna do for this holiday break? We’re gonna alternate being each other’s dads? – No, that wasn’t what I was planning. – I broke myself, and if you wanna know the complete story, the Ear Biscuits, which is our podcast, if you don’t know, why don’t you know? Is also out today. And that… – The gory details of that story. – Is where I share the story of the bear battle. (crew chuckles) – I thought you were gonna say bareback. – But I’m broken, I’m gonna be… My bareback bear battle, Dad. – He was riding bareback. It’s quite a story. – So, what else? (crew laughs) I’m gonna be wearing this sling, not only all this week, not only all next week, but, just get used to this thing through January. I mean, that’s the nature of my injury. I go into all the details. It involves an encounter with an angel. I’ll just leave it at that. Seriously. Okay, so, to share our appreciation with you, as 2022 comes to a close, we are looking back this week and reliving our favorite episodes from the year. We picked ’em. – Yes we did. – Yeah, we did. Next week we’re doing something a little bit different. And we’re not gonna tell you what that is yet. It’s something we’ve never done before to end the year, but you gonna like it. – Yeah, so unlike previous years, this time Link and I stepped in and we said “We want to pick the ones that are our favorites! We don’t want you to make the choices, we wanna make the choices!” We took the power back! – How did we make the choices? – We were presented with all the options. Every single episode that came out this year, we watched every single episode twice. – Twice. – Again. It took several days. But we decided on our favorites because- – Separately. And then we fought each other. ‘Course, me with one arm, I still won most of the fights. – We fought bareback and I broke Link’s arm. And that’s how we arrived at our favorite episodes. – I’ve never seen that movie, but is there a spitting in the hand moment? – Are you talking about “Brokeback Mountain”? Why did you…? It’s not called “Bareback Mountain”! – Oh, it’s not? – No. – Is that the sequel? – That’s the porn version. (crew chuckles) – I should see it. You know, I think I’m ready for it. – Well, you are now. Okay, yes, we have favorite episodes, just like we have favorite ice cream flavors, just like I have favorite children. I love you, (beep)! – All right, today we’re talking about amazing food creations. This is not amazing tastes we experienced. This is amazing stuff that you guys made. Lot to celebrate, Nicole, Trevor, the work that you guys did. Where’s Josh? Who cares? Right? – [Nicole] Yeah. – Right. – Okay. But we dug into, or you dug into your bag of culinary tricks, but I think we have found what we feel are the best three episodes, food episodes, I think we did a good job of picking those. – All right, so to kick things off, we’re going with an episode that combined one of our favorite formats on the show with one of our favorite beaded ice creams. Beaded. – Mm-hm. – “Will it Dippin’ Dots?” Check it out. – So, if Dippin’ Dots has changed the rules of ice cream form, then why can’t the rules of when you eat ice cream change as well? Personally, I think ice cream has the potential to be a routine breakfast choice. Specifically, pancakes. May we present International House of Dippin’ Dots, AKA IHODD! – IHODD? – IHODD. I’m gonna do it the way I would do it if I was eating pancakes, I would put butter, and then I would put… – Well I’m mostly interested in just the pancake one, so I’m eating that one alone right now. – Syrup. And then I would put it all in my mouth like this. – That is a really good… – You can get it real mixed up here. – Flavor. – [Josh] We soaked the cream in actual pancakes, and then we blended some pancake into that before dropping it in the liquid nitrogen. – This is a revolution. – This is so good, man! – This is what all food’s gonna be like in the future? Presenting the BLTDD, D. – [Link] Josh, what did you do? – [Josh] Is the frilly toothpick still in there? – [Link] Yep. – [Rhett] Yes. – So, just like it would be in a sandwich. It’s an ice cream sandwich! – Whoa! – Ooh, that mayonnaise and bread… Hoo, that is tough. It’s real tangy. – Oh! – It’s not bad. – Oh, don’t commit as hard as I did. – I know, I’m not gonna do that. I’m just gonna try… – Oh my gosh! – I’ma try the lettuce. – Well what’s a stray tomato taste like? – Oh! That’s the worst, dude! – Hm. – Fish food! – You know what? – Fish food! – Do it together with no lettuce, and it’s not too bad. – The lettuce is so, why is the lettuce so bad? – ‘Cause lettuce is bad. – [Josh] It’s an uphill battle, man, trying to create lettuce Dippin’ Dots. – So before we can decide if Dippin’ Dots can handle the essence of this Chinese delicacy, let’s get reacquainted with a century egg, I’m sure you’re excited about this, Link. – Oh my goodness. – [Rhett] Josh, how does this happen again? – [Link] We’ve eaten this before? – Yeah, at some point. – Now that we’ve experienced the century egg… Oh. – Let’s see if they can be in Dippin’ Dots. 100 years of Dippin’ Dots, bring it in! – Oh… It’s pretty. – [Rhett] It is pretty. – It’s purty. I mean, I know this is gonna be better than eating the egg. – ‘Cause it’s colder. – If it’s decent, we can market it as decent. Like actually decent. It’s not gonna… – And isn’t it interesting that the ice cream of the future is reaching back into the past? – Yeah. – ‘Cause that’s what this is, it’s supposed to be like a egg that was just buried for 100 years. – I really do think we have made ice cream of the present. – Yep. – That’s weird. The weirdest ice cream I’ve ever eaten. – Here’s what I’ll say. – It’s very eggy. Very eggy. – If you like the taste of a century egg, you will love this ice cream, because it is this very pristine representation of that sulfur taste that you get in that yolk. – Yes. This is a nice little decent gimmick. – It’s such a great translation of this. Even if you don’t like it, and I think, I mean I feel like we gotta say century eggs, will it Dippin’ Dots? Yes! – Yes. Totally on board with that. – If that’s what you’re into. – So… I’m speechless. – Yeah, me too, man. – The things that were, I thought would be the nastiest actually worked. When you Dippin’ Dotize something, and you make it super super cold, it makes it kinda kinda palatable. – [Rhett] Right. – Such a fave. – You remember what it was like that night when you went home? ‘Cause I know your wife was a Dippin’ Dots employee, and I know… – Yeah, she was in college one summer. – She has a thing for Dippin’ Dots, she has a thing for you, did you have a good time that night? – I didn’t bring home any of the Dippin’ Dots. That’s what I shoulda done, man. – Well you brought home two. – Yeah, and I dipped ’em. I dipped my dots. Come on, man. Let’s keep it together. Let’s keep it together. – That was just a joke about how small they are, though. – It’s just, I know. – That was my joke. A couple of Dippin’ Dots. – Nicole, is this one of your favorites? The Dippin’ Dots? – [Nicole] You know, I actually wasn’t here this day, Trevor did a lot of the work on it. – So you stepped up. This was one of your favorites. – [Trevor] It was really fun to do, but I could go without seeing liquid nitrogen for a long time. – It burned our mouths, man. – It was rough. You should apologize. No, you did an incredible job. I was super impressed. – I would kill for those pancake ones again. – And so much of it tasted good, but as you know, this show’s not always about us tasting good things. – No. – Sometimes it’s about things that we absolutely hate. That’s why we’re gonna be watching “What’s the Worst GMM Food?” – Yeah, we picked this one, I mean, it was such a milestone episode, you know? When we had to go back through all of these things again. – Because each one of those things made for a really really bad day, when we had them originally, and then having them all together would make for a really really bad week. – So now we’re reliving an episode where we relived episodes. – Are we still gonna be here when this is over? We’re jumping right in. With the number one seed, bile cheesecake. God. – Dink it. What…? – Don’t ask me what I’m thinking, I’m trying not to. – And are you just gonna…? – We have to do this like 100 times. – Down it, right? – I can’t even do the math. – Just trying to down it, right? – I’m trying to get it in the mouth. – [Link] And down the throat. – Well, yeah. – Double dink. – [Rhett] Don’t dink again! – And sink. (Rhett retches) – [Rhett] Oh, god. Oh my gosh! (Link gags) – Okay. – How did you get it down? Right there. That’s full brain. – Does this have nutritional value? – Oh, come on. – Yeah, it makes you smarter. – Yeah. – [Nicole] Yeah. – Oh yeah, it makes you smart like a pig. – Just like a pig, man. – Oh… Oh! – I’m just touching it with the same thing that you’re eating, so no reason to pull away. Here we go. – I don’t know how I can keep this up, man. We gotta get angry! – Yeah, we gotta get more enthusiastic! – Agh! – [Rhett] Come on! – Come on! – Three, two, one. – Come on, guys! Be smart like a pig! I’m smart like a pig! Oink oink oink! (crew laughs) Oink oink oink! – The anus is so… (belches) Uh-oh. – Rhett… Why did you do that? Chompy chompy? – I feel like, I mean I can’t put the whole thing, I’m gonna try to just bite down, and get some ass. (crew chuckles) Let’s do it, come on. Here we go. It tastes like the runoff from a thrift store. – Ugh… Anus… I’m just gonna have to send it down the hatch. Three, two! Mm! Mm! Mm! Mm! – I can’t get it down. – Negative three! Yeah! – No way. – For old times’ sake. Where it all began. – Ding it. – Dink it. And sink it. (Rhett retches) – [Rhett] Oh, god. (Link retches) (Rhett groans) Oh, god! No! I did (indistinct)! – Hold on, guys, just one last drizzle, one last drizzle. Oh my god, oh my god, I’m so, oh my god, I’m so- – [Link] Stop! – I’m so effing sorry, dude, oh my, I’m… My hands are cold. – The cap just doesn’t come off of that. You have to screw it and screw it and un… – Josh, that wasn’t nice. Both of these. Do we have a fresh fork for Josh? – Is this because of that little stunt? I immediately regret my actions from earlier, I’d like you to know. – There’s so much. He’s a big boy. – Slainte. – Favorite? (Josh groans) – You like that? – Mm-hm! Oh, it’s so good. Oh, it makes the back of your eyeballs pop out your head. My god, what have we done? Oh, it’s worse! – I’m kinda cool with it. – Okay, so which one’s worse, Josh? – Ugh! – Okay. – Ugh! – All right. This is the last gross thing we’re ever gonna eat on this show. (crew chuckles) No! (Rhett retches) Agh! Ah! (Rhett retches) Hagh! – Can’t do it. The worst thing that we’ve ever had on Good Mythical Morning, it turns out we’ve been lying to ourselves for a couple years now. It’s not bile cheesecake. – And to the press. – It’s pork blood taco. I hate watching that. Why do you enjoy it? – I got a kick out of the Josh part, I mean, getting him to eat some nasty food seems like something that we should revisit. But it’s got, I mean, that was the nastiest stuff. – Maybe that’s the thing, maybe it’s good to watch other people struggle, ’cause I did enjoy watching Josh struggle with it. – That’s what you’re doing, I guess. ‘Cause you’re not me. And you’re not him. – You did well, though. Like, I ended up tapping out earlier than you, almost every time. – I don’t know what I tapped into, so that I wouldn’t tap out, I don’t recall, but like, I think it was the mentality that like, “We’re never doing this again.” Like what I said in the episode. – But that’s not even true. – “This is the last time that we’re gonna eat something this gross.” And it wasn’t true, but I believed it. ‘Cause I thought that I have some sort of sway around here. Which I don’t. Apparently. I don’t. – We’ll keep it that way. – We gotta keep doing some gross stuff occasionally. – Hopefully your holiday food choices will bring you more joy than all of those foods did, and you know what, if you wanna make sure that you are eating the best stuff available at the grocery store for you to put on your holiday plate, you should go to Sporked.com, because they’re telling you about all the best holiday foods, we got vegan turkey roasts, yes, that can be good. Chocolate chip cookies, eggnog- – I wonder what the best chocolate chip cookies are, according to Sporked. – According to Santa. – I mean, if you make Santa that happy, what happens? What’s the best eggnog? Don’t you wanna know? – Sporked.com, for all the best holiday foods. – Okay, so this favorite episode is one of the most innovative food creation episodes of 2022, in our opinion. – Yes, oh, and also an episode that introduced us to one of our favorite tiny giant characters. – It’s “We Turned Tiny Food Into Giant Food,” do you remember? Let’s take a trip down memory lane. All right, first up we’ve got tiny Little Debbie Swiss Rolls up against big Lucky Charms. You ready for this? – Oh, yeah. – I said big Lucky Charms. – The issue is that I don’t see any tiny Swiss Rolls anywhere. – No. – There’s no packaging for it. You know what? Oh, maybe if there’s a Giant Deborah, there’s a Tiny Giant Deborah, too, who can help us. – Let’s find out. – [Both] Tiny Giant Deborah, hear our call. We are big but you are small. We hunger for your chocolate treat. Swiss Rolls are all we want to eat. We pledge our loyalty for all you do. Tiny Giant Deborah, please come through! – Hey. Guys. Hey, it’s me. It’s me! – It worked. – Hello! – Tiny Giant Deborah! – Hey. – Giant Rhett? Or regular Rhett? It’s hard to tell from here. – I’m just regular, but I am very big. – Hi, regular Link. It’s so nice to see you, you summoned me and I’m here, and I brought my tiny Swiss Rolls for you. – We see that. We’re gonna be eating those in a second, thank you. – You’re very welcome, I hope you enjoy them. Also, don’t let Giant Deborah know that you did my chant, ’cause she gets a little ee when we share stuff. – Ee? – Okay. – And I go by Deb, too, not Deborah. Deborah is her name, and also my dad calls me Deborah. Deb is what I prefer. – [Rhett] Oh, okay. – Tiny Giant Deb. – Deb, got it. Just little tiny little cake rolls. First of all, this seems like a good idea. – Kinda seems like a turd, to me. – Oh, man. It might be hard to tell, but there is actually a perfect little swirl cross section. – Mm-hm. And of course, it’s the same taste that you would expect from a normal Swiss cake roll, just smaller. I guess you would just dunk it and bite it, and then switch it. This is so light. Mkay. Feel how light that is. Oh, oh, no! (crew laughs) I don’t know about the huge cereal. Kinda makes me feel like I’m eating a big dog bone. We have got tiny wedding cake. Oh, with its own little tiny knife. – [Rhett] Mm-hm. – Versus big shrimp cocktail. – Oh my goodness. – We’re in a celebratory mood, I guess… – Wait, no, why you gonna turn it…? If you turn it that way, I’m just gonna turn that way. – Oh. (Rhett grunts) You didn’t have to grunt so much. I mean, there is some appeal to this, because… – Appeal? – You get one, yeah. You get one little shrimp, and you just want 10 more, it’s like why not just get all that in one bite? – You’re a shrimp man. – I’m a shrimp man. – That’s some straight-up shrimp meat, y’all. I mean, the rice paper makes it a little difficult. – But it’s so appetizing-looking. – Yeah, it is. I can’t say I really enjoyed that. – Aw. (crew chuckles) Thank you. Can I use this little knife? – My favorite part of the wedding. – I mean, I could just give you the whole thing. I mean, maybe here, I think what it’s supposed to be is… Aren’t we supposed to wrap our arms around each other first? – Yeah. – And then I give this to you. And then I go like this. (crew chuckles) Then I stab you with this. – Hey. – This is a little knife, it’s not even a real knife! Stop. Stop. It’s so real. Let go, let go, let go. – Oh, gosh. Prenup. (crew laughs) – You know, that episode changed my life, because I’ve been having one of those big shrimp every day. Every day since then. A big shrimp a day. – It wasn’t that great, it was kinda nasty. – Yeah, I really really loved it, could you tell? – No. – But I haven’t been able to get you to feed it to me yet. – Well we had so much trouble with that wedding cake, you know, getting the logistics down. The Tiny Deborah thing was good work. Morgan, you were on that? You Tiny Deborahized that whole thing, right? Did you hate us afterwards? Every time something like that happens, I’m like… We did that live, like, Tiny Deborah was on a green screen. – What? What are you talking about? (crew laughs) – Morgan doesn’t like it when we spoil things, even if it is giving him credit. – Yeah, that’s what I was thinking about. I was thinking about. – That was so realistic. – That looks very realistic. – Yeah. So tiny, yet so present. And the interaction was so live. – Yeah, it was. And you can tell that. It didn’t seem scripted. – Right. Because it wasn’t. – If it was scripted, it would’ve been a little bit funnier. (crew laughs) – Right. We don’t like to make things too funny here anymore. We’re kinda over that. – Yeah. – We’re kinda in like… – We’re in the “Don’t be too funny” mode. – Right. And don’t use two arms. Like, I’m so over that. So over that. – Uh-huh. – That was it, guys. Do you like our picks? Any final words? – Any notes? – [Nicole] You guys are doing wonderful, I mean, Trevor, do you have anything to say? – [Trevor] Yeah, it’s really fun to make food for you guys, you guys are really wacky. – [Nicole] Yeah. (Rhett laughs) – We’re so wacky. – Now that was scripted, right? – [Trevor] Yeah, totally. – We told you to say that. “Call us wacky. We love it when you call us wacky.” – The new mandate for 2023 is, Trevor’s gotta call us wacky as much as possible. – All right, if you wanna watch those full episodes, and I recommend you do, even if you’ve seen ’em before, you wanna see ’em again. – Oh, yeah. – I mean, you wanna experience all those mouth noises. Links are in the description, okay? The dooblydoo. – Come back on Wednesday, ’cause we’re gonna be highlighting our favorite unhinged episodes of 2022. – So we’re not doing an episode tomorrow. – I wasn’t planning on it. – We’re easing out of it. So skip tomorrow, come back the day after tomorrow, and we’re not doing a More right now, so… – There is no More.
