Today, we’re looking back at our most memorable food moments of 2023. Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) Good Mythical Morning! Ding-a-ling-a-ling! Ding-a-ling-a-ling? Or ring-a-ling-a-ling? Well, for us. I don’t know, what do you say when it’s the holidays and you’re in a festive? I say ring-a-ling-a-ling. Personally. Actually, I don’t say either. You know what? I should have said ba rum pa pum pum. Yeah, there you go. Ding-a-lings! Look at this! Ding-a-ling boys in the house! Ding-a-ling boys in their little, gingerbread land. Village. Gingerbread. Gingerbread village! We call it. We’ve explored it thoroughly. It turns out there’s nothing behind us. But it looks amazing. Thank you, art. Incredible work. It was stolen from a local abandoned mall? Oh. Yeah. It’s not edible. It was completely original creation. A completely original creation of the art team. Thank you for that. Now, we are saying. And Santa. Bald Santa. We are saying sayonara to 2023 and howdy-do to 2024 the only way that we know how. Uh huh. That’s right! No, no, no. Not with the alcoholic beverages that we definitely will not be consuming later. That’s right. But with a look back at some of our favorite moments of the year. Yeah, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of this week. Well, today is Monday. So also Wednesday and Friday this week, we are reliving a collection of our top moments in specific categories from this past year. And then next week, we’re bringing back the Good Mythical Marathons. Where we will join you for hours of full GMM episodes from any time in the show’s history, that won’t be live. I mean, it sounded almost live when I said we will join you. Well, we will be joining you. Ba rum bum pum pum. Yeah. It will be a video that’s really long. Right. So grab your ding-a-lings and be there next week. Today, though, it is time to reflect upon 2023’s most memorable food moments. And to start, we’re gonna be taking it back to the very beginning. That is our very beginning, the 1970s. Yeah, we had a lot of fun with this new format this year. This is from July 14th. Vintage Food Taste Test, 70s Edition. Hey, Foxy Mama. Today, we’re eating in the 70s. Let’s talk about that. Don’t worry about it. I actually brought my dad here. Oh, great. Hey, Dad. How you doing? I’m doing good. Doing good. Good to see y’all. Bringing back the 70s to me. Just making me reminisce and having flashbacks about what I did in the 70s. So it’s good to be here with you. Oh, well one of the things you. Say more. One of the things you did is you had a little baby boy. Oh my God. Is that Charles Neal? Yeah, that’s my dad there. You look good. ((Laughing)) I haven’t seen you. I haven’t seen you since, like, last summer. How you been doing? Been doing good. Yeah. ((Laughing)) Okay, food. Dad was hanging out with me last summer. Oh, but it’s the 70s. You’re not alive. Alright. So, this is from McCall’s Great American Recipes. It is ham and banana hollandaise and it describes what’s in it. Yeah. It isn’t bad. It really isn’t bad. It’s banana and salty ham, but then it’s that tangy tangy hollandaise that makes it all kind of come together. Hey, I’m back! Yeah, slink on in here. This is from a 1974 Weight Watchers recipe book. It’s called a Jellied Tomato Refresher. Yum! I actually made these for the Bee Gees for breakfast. One time I was dating all three of them. You remember, right, Charles? Oh, yeah, I remember. Oh, man. So, it’s got, you know, gelatin, tomato, beef broth, worcestershire sauce, and green pepper. Enjoy. Think of it like congealed ketchup. Okay, I like ketchup. That’s exactly what it is. Yeah. Congealed ketchup. So, you’ve got canned tomatoes, canned tuna, pears, onions. That’s a pear? It’s, I hear it’s mixed in the sauce. Well then what’s the black thing? Well, that’s, you know, I don’t remember. Good God. It’s horrible. The fruity, oh gosh. This is Betty Crocker’s Creamy Dried Beef Mold from a 1975 cookbook. Funny enough, Creamy Dried Beef Mold is a nickname that Charles gave me in 1971. And I think about it more now and it doesn’t sound like a good thing. I’m putting something together. I think that she might be your mom. ((Laughing)) Like. Don’t think of it as anything. Some sort of a cold. Get a hefty bite now. Appetizer, dink it. And sink it. Alright, fine. I’ll get a little bit more. I think you’re gonna like this. I’m enjoying this. I really am. I don’t hate it. Even though, what is that? A lima bean? There’s beans in there. Can I take this home? Can somebody pack this up for me? In the 1970s, seatbelts were optional. And so was underwear. It was a slanky time. It was a what time? Stanky time. I’m sorry, stanky time. Slanky and stanky. – [Charles] Slanky and stanky. Do you know what time it is? Slanky, man. I love my dad. Slankys. Slanky made sense to me. Yeah. Stanky also made sense to me. And then they went together really well. Just like Creamy Dried Beef Mold. How did we love that? Didn’t you, did you take it home? Yep. And what happened? Tell them what happened. I ate the whole thing for the next four breakfasts. I seem to be the only one in my family that wanted it, though. Have you connected with Astrid since that episode? To do, like, a maternity test? Yeah, we did that, and, now she, she came over for our Easter celebration, she was there for Thanksgiving, and, she’s joining us for Christmas now. Oh. Yeah. That’s beautiful. I’m glad that worked out. Now, how does your sue feel about that? Oh my original? Your other mom. I just call her O.M. Original Mom. Okay. Right. She’s fine with it. That was a good one. All right, now what? We do it. We showing another one? Yeah.Yeah. Yeah.Yeah. All right, which one is it? I wasn’t ready to introduce it. Oh, yes, that’s a good one. Let’s share that one with them. Is everything at Taco Bell? Does it taste the same? Right. That’s what we’re about to watch. I am so in this moment. – [Stevie] Of these four Taco Bell menu items, which is your favorite? 1. Crunchwrap Supreme 2. Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme Oh, that’s good. – [Stevie] 3. Nachos BellGrande. Or 4. Mexican Pizza. Oh, I gotta go with, listen, I love Christy and she loves a Mexican Pizza. Her life stopped when it went away and it started when it came back. But do you like it or are you just gonna go with it because it’s hers? And then her life stopped when it went away again. Or because they all taste the same and it doesn’t matter. What? Are you gonna pick it because you like it or because she likes it? She likes it. Okay. Okay. Is he getting the same things I’m getting right now? – [Stevie] You don’t know your choices? You’re just finding your favorite one. You’re trying to find a Mexican Pizza, I’m trying to find the Doritos Locos. I’ve never had a Mexican Pizza. Yeah, that’s why I said, are you saying that because it’s what she likes or what you like? Because that’s going to impact this. And what did I say? I said what she likes. And I was just like, he’s Link, you can’t help the boy sometimes. When you – [Stevie] Link, have you had a Mexican Pizza before? No. I said no. No! – [Stevie] You have not. I’ve had the Doritos Loco Taco, but not the Supreme, because it has tomatoes. – [Stevie] Okay. The first one was the Mexican Pizza, the second one was the Crunchwrap Supreme, the third one was the, Doritos, and the fourth one was the nachos. – [Stevie] Correct. Boom! I’m a Taco Bell genius! – [Stevie] Okay, I mean, and we have. Link, I have great news. It is the quesadilla round. Yes! You know what? I completely agree with you. Quesadilla is the best thing on the menu. Chicken. – [Stevie] Luckily, you guys are going to really love this round, then, because, excluding the breakfast menu, Taco Bell offers three kinds of quesadillas. Cheese, chicken, and steak. The question is, can you really taste the difference between the two meat options? Here’s the second quesadilla. I’m going to give you a 3, 2, 1. You’re going to tell me which one was chicken. And your options are one or two. Yep. We’re smart. – [Stevie] Here we go. Three, two, one. – [Both] Two. – [Stevie] We wanted to make it a truly blind taste test. So what we did was we didn’t feed you guys the same one at the same time. So, the thing is, is that Rhett, you are right, and Link, you are wrong. ((Laughing)) Y’all are awesome! I don’t understand. And I’m, okay, how do you not understand? Hey! She fully explained it, like. How could, I don’t understand how I could be wrong. It was pristine. – [Stevie] Do you know what this means? This is crazy. Yeah, Link thinks steak is beef. – [Stevie] Well, I’m just saying. No, it means that Taco Bell all tastes the same! Oh, man. I was struggling. Oh, yeah. Which explains why I was struggling so much to introduce. Yeah, right. Well, how does it make you feel? Because we don’t typically watch, we don’t typically watch our show. We’re here for it, but we’re watching it today. That didn’t feel great. And, so do you understand now why you seem a bit, crazy? Yeah. It didn’t feel great. You know what? I hereby resolve that in 2025. Because it’s gonna take all of next year to work on that. Okay, yeah. I’m gonna, I’m gonna comprehend, I’m gonna listen, I’m gonna comprehend, I’m gonna be conscientious, I’m gonna be. Wow. Hey, don’t over promise, man. Everybody will forget. We all have, you only have a whole year to work on this. And I’m gonna know the difference between steak and chicken. You mean steak and beef. And steak and beef. Okay. Moving along. Okay, you know we couldn’t highlight memorable food moments without a Will It episode. Right. And this one is extra special because the one and only Madison Beer joined us for it. We rarely have a guest come into a Will It. But this was her request. This, I mean, she’s. That’s what she wanted to do. Long, long time Mythical Beast because, and she said she wanted to bring it. She wanted to be in a Will It. She said don’t hold back. These are all things that she conveyed to us beforehand. Right, so we made the Madison Beer exception. From April 24th, this is Will It Cannoli? Okay, so that’s the fish. You know what? I like having choices. Because I go both ways. Like I said earlier, I could go, fish. Or fish? Or lamb. So when you bite it, there’s, whatever makes an eye like work. I can’t do this. Like, like the lens and the, there’s some hard stuff in there. You’re making this so much worse. There’s just hard stuff in there. Hard? Like it’s crunchy? Yeah. I wouldn’t call it crunchy, I’d call it more like impervious to chewing. Yeah, yeah, it’s gonna be tough. It’s gonna be real tough. But I feel like you should know that. Just so you’re not surprised. Step one is just to pick it up. Not the trash can. The cannoli. And if I were you, I would go fish. Fish? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s huge! I’m going fish too. Do you see the size of my fish? That’s the lamb. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go fish. So you’re going for the smaller one. Pick it up, hold it, get to know it. It’s jiggling. Are we all going fish? I think we’re all gonna go fish, yeah. Oh my god! – [Stevie] I mean, if they’re both going fish, so Rhett and you go both ways, it’s kinda. That’s right. Stevie. Alright, let’s have some eye contact. Oh my god, I can’t, I don’t know if I can do this. You just have to, you just have to just turn off the. It’s off. Thinker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You’re right, yeah. You know? Also, turn off the taster. Don’t bite the eye in half. Get the whole thing in your mouth and then. Just, just put the whole, it’s gonna be easier. You know what? We’ll do this together. We’re all get the, we’re all gonna get the eyeball in our mouth and we’re gonna stop, we’re gonna pause. I wouldn’t do this for anyone but you two. We’re gonna, we’re gonna check in with each other because it’s not until you begin trying to break it that we’re gonna have problems. Right. and listen, we’re all gonna have problems. Chip, you’re gonna chipmunk it. You’re gonna get the whole eyeball in your mouth. I’m gonna sink it. We’re gonna dink and then I’m gonna sink it. And then you’re gonna sink it deep. And then hold. And then you’re gonna, and you, and if you wanna chipmunk it, you can put it in your cheek. And then we’ll hold. And then we’ll just hold. And then we’ll have like a moment of like, encouragement that will only be happening with our eyes because we won’t be able to speak. Right. Stevie might say something, I don’t know, she’s always ready. Stop it. Stop it. And? I’m Team Mikayla. ((Laughing)) Oh my god. Here we go! I’ll let you, it’s gonna be right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s just a little too early for that. Here we go. Triple dink it. And sink it. I’m trying. It’s like my hand’s not allowing me. No, no, no. I can’t. I can’t. No, no. It’s good. It’s good. I can’t do it. It’s good. I can’t do it. It’s good! It’s good! – [Stevie] You can do it! ((Crowd Cheering)) Now just hold it. Don’t think. Turn off your thinker. Turn off your taster. ((Laughing)) And now. Oh, nope, nope. And now. Now we’re going to chew, we’re going to chew right now. Three, two, one, chew. ((Laughing)) What’s wrong with you guys? ((Laughing)) I am so sorry, Madison. I am so sorry, you had to be here for that. I apologize. There’s no way. I apologize. I apologize for giving you what you asked for. ((Laughing)) I recommend raking your tongue with that. A lot of times he makes it worse. I know. Yeah, yeah. I know. Yeah, he makes it worse. Okay, now for the lamb side. ((Laughing)) We didn’t do the lamb side. That was a joke, right? Yeah. Well, at least we didn’t embarrass ourselves in front of Madison Beer. Well, we were all in it together. I mean, hey, you know. She followed through. She took it. I think once she got in that, in the situation, and she realized what she had signed up for, you could sort of see her life flashing before her eyes. Yeah, yeah. But that’s what made it a great moment. That’s what made it a great moment on YouTube and beyond. – [Stevie] Speaking of following through, did she ever follow you on Instagram or? You mean me? She was already following me. – [Stevie] Oh no, no. You mean Link? – [Stevie] I mean Link, yeah. No, that, we, that road goes both ways and we reached an impasse, I guess. Oh, you mean when you told her that you weren’t gonna follow her? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was, yeah, that was not a great strategy. For getting her to follow you. Yep, yep. Yep. But, I see some beautiful places in Switzerland. – [Mythical Crew] What? That’s, I, like I, that’s, I told her, listen, that’s the only stuff I follow. Is like beautiful places in Switzerland, maybe people living in vans. If she were to live in a van and go to Switzerland, I’d follow her like that. Okay, all right. I’ll DM her and let her know. You know, I’m just. ((Laughing)) I mean, I didn’t, was she no longer a fan because of that, you think? I don’t think so. As long as she’s a fan of one of us, then she’s a fan of all of us. That’s how I see it. She’s team Mikayla. That’s how I see it. Yeah, that was a fun one. I think that was one of the grossest things that we ate the entire year. Yeah. The double eyeball, it’s been a while since we’ve gone that gross. And we just had to wait for the right opportunity. Yeah, yeah. And the fact that she was there and did it with us, that says a lot. That says a lot. Hey, well thanks for joining us today. You know what, we’re gonna do this again on Wednesday. We’re gonna highlight our most chaotic episodes of 2023. Did we have any of those? Maybe a couple, maybe a few. How are we gonna, how are we gonna drum those up? Alright, so, there’s no more today. This is it. That means, by that he means there’s no more episodes to go through, but there’s also no Good Mythical More. There’s no Good Mythical More today. There’s no wheel. There’s no wheel. Yeah. We don’t even really know how to end it, to be honest with you. I mean, yeah. I think we should just slowly turn around and face our gingerbread village. Right. We’ll go back into it. See your dad for tomorrow. ((Music)) – [Rhett] The Mythical Cookbook features fan favorite dishes from GMM and Mythical Kitchen and tons of completely new original recipes.
