You didn’t tell Link there was black olives on there as well. – I didn’t put any black olives on there. Where did you get that black olive? – It was from the. It’s from the Subway. – It was from the Subway. (Josh laughs) – Yeah yeah yeah. – I think it fell out of Rhett’s ear. Do you want it? – They just found it in your. (laughs) – One for two, alright! – I was very close. – That’s not bad. – Yeah, you were right there. – Your mouth was there and I kinda was just right– – You mean close to my mouth or you’re physically very close? – I was very close to you when I totally missed your mouth. – That’s okay, I’ll find that later. – So, um. You guys have taken all of the scraps. – Yeah. – If by you guys you mean Josh, then yeah. – Alex did some of the work. He came in and said “Did you get all the scraps?” And I said, “Yeah!” – That’s how I like to do it. – Oh I know how it works. – Yeah! – Bring in some stuff. So we’re gonna salad it up. – Oh it’s coming all the way in. – I’m coming all the way in. So we’re kind of doing like a table side salad cart. – Okay. – Like a table side Caesar. – Alex, you move to the edge. – Just off the camera, or? – Yeah, just move, right. – You’re gonna be right there. – I can do like a mime thing. – You can be right there. – Some just nice dry aged beef, just the ends cause the ends of the roast beef you shave you don’t really get all the nice rareness. – Oh wow. – So these are kind of crispy. – $400. – Really nice, salted. – Roast beef ends. – You always got like some food on you. You know that, right? – Yeah. I’ve heard that. – Some? – I was just covered in tomato seeds earlier. – You’ve got a– – You got a lot on you. – Those of you who are very observant might see that at the beginning of the episode today when Josh poked his head in he had a tomato seed on his forehead that we all thought was a whitehead. – How did you get? – And nobody told me. You guys are bad friends. – How’d you get that there you think? – Was it? – I don’t know. – That was in the show? I thought we told him before. – Can I have a towel? – No it was when he came in. – It was on the towel. – And we gave him the mission. – No, the blue one right there. – I mean, two weeks ago when we gave him the mission. – This is what happens when I’m like cleaning stuff and I go like that – So let me get this straight. You saw it, I saw it. – Or I go like that. – Neither one of us decided to say anything. – No, no, no. – Flips over in your face. – I saw it and then I was like when they’re off doing their thing I’m going to, when their video’s playing I’m going to tell then, but then Ben came in and did it before I ever said anything. I wasn’t gonna let it happen again. – But I was. – I wasn’t gonna let it just keep going. You were? – ‘Cause I was this close to it. – But you thought it might be a zit. – I thought it was a zit. – I thought that might be a tomato seed, but people probably can’t see it. – I thought it was a whitehead, but then I thought it might be permanent and I didn’t want to put you on the spot. – Thank you. – I’m gonna taste some of this. – You know I don’t like to make things awkward for people. – No, not at all. I’ve never seen you do that. – So the one time I decide not to it bites me in the butt. See, I should’ve done it. I should’ve gone with my instincts. Last time I ate at Subway, the most recent time it was at a truck stop Subway that was also a Dairy Queen. – I like those combos. – Those are the best ones. – The entire time. – Yeah. – The line was way backed up because a lot of people who couldn’t go. The Burger King ran out of burgers. No lie. – It happens to the best of us. – So everybody at the Burger King came over to the Subway truck stop slash Dairy Queen, and so it was really long line which allowed me to realize that over the course of 30 minutes waiting in line to order at the Subway. – You stayed. – Yeah, there was nowhere else to go. Approximately, I’d say 20 guys or women were paged over the intercom that their shower was ready. – Oh yeah. – Oh yeah, yeah. – That’s the best part of being at the truck stop being told your shower’s ready. – Robert F, your shower is ready. – Was there anybody in line for Burger King and they’re like, “Dang it”, and they had to leave. – [Link] Pete is still in there. – I usually just sign up for a shower at a truck stop just so I can hear that, but I never actually take the shower. – I should’ve signed my kids up. (laughing) – I just want to hear that my shower is ready. – I should’ve without telling them I should’ve signed my kids up for a shower, so then over the intercom it’s like, “Link and Neil your shower’s ready.” And he would’ve just crapped his pants, which then would’ve made sense that he needed the shower. – What if just got up and started walking towards the shower? (laughing) – You don’t need to sign up for them. You just go in. – Yeah. Out of my three kids he would’ve been the best candidate to go for it. – I’m up. – You got to share sometimes, but it’s fine. – So, when they age this beef for 80 days where do they put it? – Oh, there’s like a whole locker of hanging beef. It’s looks very Chainsaw Massacry. – So, is it just like cold in there? – Yeah. It’s literally just cold and dry, and I think you actually need to have some sort of bacterial starter. Like I know a lot of people keep a very very very old piece of beef in their dry age meat locker, and then the bacteria from that actually kind of jumps to the other ’cause that’s what you want is you want a bacterial crust on the fat. – Yeah, you do. – And that causes the enzymes to actually breakdown the beef and that’s why the beef’s so tender. – It’s so good. – What does that bacteria do inside of your body? Is that the good bacteria that you get from yogurt? – Only the good thing. – It adds to your microbial. – If you ever got to ask it’s the good bacteria. It makes you feel better about what you’re eating. – Are you gonna toss that salad? – Yeah. Would you like me too? – Yeah. And then give me some of the salad. Have you ever taken this shower at a truck stop? – I have. – Really? – Did you actually? – Yeah. – Tell us about it, Alex. – What’s happening that night? – What that before you were a vegetarian? – Yeah. Meat was on table one. – This is the meaty part of my life. – I was crossing. I was moving to Los Angeles and I was going across and I just didn’t want to pay to stop anywhere. My last leg I wanted to go straight 24 hours all the way through. – Dang, you did it. – And I stopped and did it. – Did you also sleep on the side of the road? – Yeah. At one point. Yeah, I’ll take that. Thank you. – Yeah. – Yeah, it’s nice. – You like pulled over on an exit and slept in your car. – Yeah. – Just reclined it. – Yeah. – How was the shower? – Not bad. A lot of people in RVs, like RV people – Oh you know what – you got missing lettuce. – like crossing the (mumbles) – will stop there (mumbles). – Can you pass those forks? – It’s not just truckers. Yeah. – Did you get clean? – Yeah, that’s the point. – No, he took a shower, but didn’t get clean. The most unsuccessful shower. – The water was brown. Oh, this is for you. – I’ve never taken a public shower. – What? – Not at a gym, not at school. – We go to the same gym. I’ve never seen you in there. – I tried the one day that you saw me there and I couldn’t figure out the tower machine. – You got nervous. – And then I got nervous, and I left. – Seriously? – Yeah. – Yeah, I use like the camping lights all over my body. – Is that a beet? What is that? – That’s the salami. – Oh, that’s a salami cube. – Oh. – Man. – Nothing makes me happier than thinking I’m about to eat a beet and it turns into salami. That’s a good day. – Yeah. – [Rhett] Gwen knows what she’s doing. – She really does. I think that was the chef’s mom sister. – You just said mom, sister. – So Gwen is like an ultra fancy butcher basically. – Yeah, it’s actually run. He wasn’t there, too cool to hang out with Alex. (mumbles) You guys ever see that guy? He has a show on Food Network when he goes around shirtless on the beach going to the best beach restaurants, so he’s very handsome. – Yeah, he’s handsome. – He wasn’t there to hang out with me and Alex. – He’s the chef of this place. – Yeah, he’s in Sydney. He was in Sydney when we went. They were still really cool, and it’s an awesome restaurant, but we didn’t get to see our hero. – This is– (mumbles) – Alex, would’ve asked him for a hug, and it would’ve been really uncomfortable. – Yeah, he would’ve done that. – What’s that green circle? – An olive. – Olive. – Okay, I don’t want that. – You know you could just not eat it instead of announcing it, but that’s cool. – It’s a good salad. It’s like a $500 sub sends the ultra expensive bread. – You know how much this is. How much is it? – Oh, this is uh, I don’t know like $167.34 probably. It all depends how much mayonnaise I flap in there somewhere in the 160 to the 170 range. – ‘Cause I said 143. – There’s still about. – Oh yeah. – Yeah. – That’s perfect. – What’s your secret? Well at least it landed on your own plate. What’s your secret, like I’m gonna add this to my salad at the end and it’s gonna be that thing that then sometimes when I forget and I’m halfway through my salad, I’m gonna be like, oh gosh, I forgot to add my secret thing? – It’s gotta be onions, man. I mean really. – Onions. – Yeah. – A little bit of spit. – Onions are more of a staple. – Yeah, to loosen that lettuce wet. – I’m actually thinking like. – I just answered ’cause I knew you weren’t talking to me. (laughing) – I was serious. – I value your experience, but mostly as it relates to showering. – You’re the shower guy. I’m the food guy. That’s how we work it. – For me it’ll be the crunch and the sweet, so it’ll be dried cranberry or you know the stuff at the end of the whole food salad bar or like sunflower seeds. – Sunflower. – That’s my two things. – That’s very good. – If I forget it I’m halfway through then I’m really angry. – Salt. – But you should keep a little – put salt on it. extra bag of cranberries. – Salt. – No one salt’s your salads. People don’t do that, but the salt actually breaks down the lettuce a little bit and makes it moist. You know how you said you spit on your salad before you eat it. – I would again. – Yeah, if you take salt it’ll do the same thing. – Right. – If you like your method that’s cool. – Rhett, what’s your thing? – It’s a little spit. I said it right from the beginning. Just a little bit of spit. – I like pepper on my salad too. – Yeah. – I like black pepper on everything. – I’m with ya. – I just like what it does to add a little contrast. – Quick reminder, if you want to see what goes on behind the scenes here at GMM or you want to access things like our members only chat room and exclusive vlogs and merch, you can join the top secret club that we keep talking about over at mythicalsociety.com. – Can I have your beef? – Yeah. – There’s a lot of mythical chef Josh cooking up the stuff that we experienced here in those Behind the Mythicality series. – Yeah. I never know when Jen is coming too. She just kind of pops into the camera and I’m like generally midway through I don’t know screaming, trying to turn animal (mumbles) into a pancake or whatever. – Shh. (laughing) – Oh my God.
