(rooster crows) (lion roars) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. I wonder what a Twinkie covered in gravy tastes like. Let’s find out. – Didn’t see that coming. (startled sound and laughing) Oh, God. Whoa. What was that? It came and it went. – What was that? Is this it? – It was a llama. Oh! – Oh, God. (laughs) – Didn’t see that coming either. – Oh, look a rantler. This is not, wow that’s a– – Yeah, that’s some– – That’s ours. – Some serious cross-stitching. – This is classy llama, and that is… – This was sent to us awhile back. – The Rantler. Put this right over there. – I’ll put this there. – I feel like I need to sneeze guys, hold on. ♪ Hold it ♪ (sniffing) Keep it in. Keep it in. – I feel like that I need to eat a twinkie. – Oh, so you’ve already added the gravy to the twinkie, guys And there it is. – [Female] Yes, I dipped it. – You dipped it? – [Female] I dipped it in the gravy. – Dip, dip, dipped it. Let’s talk about all the stuff that we’re eating, this week. I’m sure you’re taking in all types of festivities. You may be hanging out with family, friends or just finding something special to treat yourself to. But let me tell you right now, I am in the midst of going from place to place– – It’s cooled off a little bit. – eating so many amazing things. Y’know, I think going home for the holidays, so much of it is about eating something. This is not on our list. How is this? Should it be added? – The gravy cooled off little bit while we were talking. – Okay. – And I think it would be great if the gravy was warm. – Cold gravy, cold Twinkie, man. – No, see that’s where you’re wrong. – You want her to microwave it? – No, just try it on the other side! No, I’m good. – Hit in the microwave, maybe he’ll like it. – [Female] We can nuke it. – I’ve had so much gravy, already. – So much gravy. Yeah, I was drinking whole things of gravy. On Christmas night, well, let’s see. We go to Christy’s parents’ house on Christmas Eve-Eve, and Christy’s dad fries shrimp. – Yeah, everybody’s got the thing that they do. – Everybody’s got their thing they do. And there’s not, like, so, first you gotta schedule where you’re going, when. And then, once you schedule okay, we’ve got Christmas Eve-Eve, then Nanny’s got Christmas Eve, and then Nana’s got Christmas night. – But you change it every year? – We never change it. – Well then, why did you say you’ve got to schedule it? – So, we establish that. And then the second thing you have to establish is, what are we going to eat at each place? ‘Cause you don’t want to overlap. And so, that’s worked out. – Well, the interesting thing is, everyone has accommodated you guys. – No, I made it sound like we requested different food. – Well, you didn’t make it sound like it. It’s what you said. – But, that’s not really what happened. I think everyone eats the normal turkey dinner-type situation. The weird, Christmas permutation of Thanksgiving. But, everybody wanted their own thing. Ooh, that looks really hot now. – It’s smokin’. – So we eat shrimp on Christmas’ Eve-Eve. Then, we go to Nanny’s house and we eat turkey and ham. Like, a typical Christmas meal. – You only eat ham. – Don’t burn yourself. I’ve still got some of that gravy in my fruitcake, or something in there. – Fried shrimp with what, though? That’s an unusual– – Slaw. – That’s an unusual Christmas. I mean, I like it ’cause it changes things up, though. – The night before that, Christmas’ Eve-Eve-Eve, we’re also at Christy’s parents’ house and we get a Bojangles’ feast. – Triple-eve? – Triple-eve, we get a Bojangles’ feast. And they invite all their friends and family members over to their house. – All Bojangles’. – All Bojangles’. All day and all night. And then the next morning for breakfast, we literally eat Bojangles’ for breakfast the next morning, Christmas’ Eve-Eve. That night, we get shrimp. Then, the next night, it’s typical dinner at Nanny’s house. Ham and some dressing. ‘Cause I don’t get to eat that at Thanksgiving back at home. And then Christmas– – Hold on, that sounds like a meal she prepared just for you. She doesn’t do turkey, no turkey at all. – There is turkey. I don’t eat it. – You just don’t even mention it. – I eat the ham. – Okay. – Then Christmas morning, Christy at my mom’s house makes this crescent-roll wreath, chicken-garlic wreath. That’s something she learned, somewhere. It’s a wreath made out of dough and chicken and garlic. And it’s awesome. And meatballs. We eat meatballs. – Oh, not inside the chicken wreath. – No, just with it. And potato chips. – For breakfast? – This is like a brunch. ‘Cause people come over Christmas morning after they’ve had their own thing. And then, Christmas night we go to Nana’s and we have breakfast for dinner. And that’s when it’s like eggs of all types. Breakfast casseroles, biscuits of varying degrees of– – This is Christmas day, you said? – Christmas night. – Christmas night. – They’ll have a pan of biscuits that are undercooked, and then they’ll have a pan of biscuits that are overcooked. Aunt T.C. does that, depending on how you like your biscuits. And then dad, makes the peanut butter and jelly mixture to go on it, and that’s dessert. After the eggs and the sausage. – Wow. – Oh, man. And the next day, it’s just all of those leftovers. – Yeah. – You jealous? I’m not trying to make you jealous. – A little bit. – I eat so much, man. – Basically, I’m at my sister-in-law’s place the whole time. And then, Christmas’ Eve we go to my mom’s house – Shhhh. – And I’ve told you, you know Mama Di, Mama Di’s an incredible cook, but it’s Christmas’ Eve there’s a lot of stuff going on. – That’s Diane, his mother. – So, she does a combination of a few things that she’s completely mastered, including these little, it’s like finger-food. She has like a finger-food Christmas’ Eve spread. – Beautiful. – That includes some things that are store-bought, like Zaxby’s chicken strips in there, if you don’t watch out. – Oh. – And I’ll eat every one of them. – I know how you are with Zaxby’s chicken strips. – But then she’ll do these little ham sandwiches, that are on these little Hawaiian sweet rolls, – Oh, yeah. – And they come out of the oven, and you take this tinfoil off the top of them and there’s like a (whoops) grid of them. – It’s a circle, right? – It’s a circle of them? – It’s a square. – Yours is a square? – Yeah, we don’t do the circle one. – We get the circle one and I always try to get there’s three in the middle that don’t touch the side and those are the ones that I want. – She may have taken the square out of the circle, I don’t know. I don’t know what kind of stuff, witchcraft that she does before that, but all I know is that they are absolutely incredible. And then she’s got– – His mom is a bun witch. – She’s got some meatballs, and then she’s got some olives. I know you don’t like that, but I love them. And then, some little cheese straws and then she’s got some fudge. Just, y’know, you basically just sit there and think you’re not eating anything, and then you fall asleep. – Yeah, wake up and you’re still eating. – And then, we have a more traditional Christmas dinner at my sister-in-law’s house the next day. So, I don’t get to eat as much as you. – No shrimp? – Well, we don’t do the shrimp, no. – No Bojangles? – Bojangles is just a normal part of the North Carolina experience for me. But it’s not something that we make a meal out of at somebody’s house. But, it typically is the first meal that we have. For the past five years we’ve gone back home, we go from the airport to Bojangles’ and bring it all to their house. So, I guess it is kind of the first meal. – I go to the airport, I go to Cook Out, because I know I’m getting Bojangles’ that night. So, I get a burger and a peanut butter milkshake, and some fries and chicken nuggets. – [Female] I would like to say, I also go to Cook Out from the airport, when I land in North Carolina. – Yeah, girl. – Straight from the airport? – [Female] Yeah, for an oreo milkshake and seasoned fries. But one time I went– – You don’t get a burger? – [Female] No, no. I went and I couldn’t understand, you know when you get off the plane and you’re hearing Southern accents again for the first time? (laughter) And you can’t really process exactly what’s happening, that’s Cook Out. – Yeah, you have to readjust. You have to turn the ears back on. – [Female] Yeah. – Yeah. – Oreo milkshake, huh? – Well, maybe I’ll do that. – Have you had the peanut butter milkshake? – [Female] No, I have Oreo every single time. – Ooh, it’s good, it’s peanut butter and vanilla. – [Female] They have Reese’s peanut butter. – There’s no chocolate involved. And then when you get to the very end, there’s just a bunch of peanut butter just sitting down there, just waiting. – Yeah, the dredges. – And then it’s the dredge of it, and you’re just eating peanut butter. (exhales) – Also, I know you don’t go by the Smithfield’s and get a barbecue sandwich, but Smithfield’s barbecue. Get in there. – Brunswick stew. Buy one get two? – They have a special of buy one, get one free. And the special has always been on. But you have to ask for it. – Well, it’s normal, it’s a normal special. – I know, but why don’t they just price the Brunswick Stew as two things cost this amount. Why do they have to say it’s buy one, get one free? Because it’s always been that way, for 25 years. That means the price of it is half of what they’re saying it is. It’s not buy one, get one free. It’s just two costs this much. Am I right, or am I right? All I know, is that I eat both of them. – Yeah, it’s not good for us and what you just said kind of hurt my feelings. You’re questioning Smithfield. – You’re invested in Smithfield’s? – I don’t question the judgements of any of the Smithfields. – That’s true, they might take the special away if they hear me talking crap about it. – Right, shhhhh. Pace yourself guys. – I take it all back.
