(rooster crows) (dinosaur growls) (wheel spins) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. Spoons or forks? Which do you favor given very specific culinary situations? – Hmm. But first, Who You Talkin’ About. This is when we read a comment that was made on one of our videos and we have to decide whether it was about me or Link. – [Link] Mhm. – This one is from @arealcupcake who says, “After blank got done with that brush he looked like the bride of Frankenstein.” – The bride of Frankenstein’s hair did what? (Link makes wooshing noise) Like that? – The bride of Frankenstein’s hair went up, but also, the bride of Frankenstein’s hair had your color because I think she had like an Elvira streak of white and black hair. So, I’m going with Link on this one just for hair color alone. – Do you remember me going at it with a brush? – Man, you’ve gone at it with so many things on this show. – I agree. I think it’s me, because of the white streak. – “After Link got done.” That’s right, @arealcupcake. – Yeah, the bride of Frankenstein. Me and her are tight. – Okay. – We look alike. – So, we’re gonna go through these different foods and what we’re doing is we’re trying to voice our own opinion about whether or not we can think you can get more of this food with a fork or a spoon, and also what the mythical crew said, a majority of the mythical crew said would get more, a fork or a spoon. – [Interviewer] Well, not more per se, just like preference. – Preference for eating? – [Interviewer] Yeah. Yeah, like given, hey, you’re having peas for dinner. – Right, so we’re having some peas- – I think peas is perfect, because- – I love garden peas. – ‘Cause most of the time- – Make me happy. – Most of the time you’re served peas, which I’m the only one in my family that likes peas, so I actually- – I love peas. – So, I don’t get peas a lot. And I don’t like the ones that are bright green. I like the ones that are like from the can, they’ve almost turned brown, that’s when they get good. – Yeah. – But I always use a fork because that’s what I’m eating with and I typically don’t have a spoon. We don’t like, make… What we do every single night is like, “What do we need? Ah, fork and a napkin.” Like, unless it’s like something you gotta cut with a real knife, we don’t set the table. – It’s interesting- – But I prefer a spoon for peas in general. – I prefer a spoon just in general as well. – I mean, look at that. See that? Try that with a fork and think about how many is ‘gon fall off. – Like, you can use… – Look at that. That could be in space. – See, but look at this. – Oh, yeah. – I’m also in space. Oh, I’m dropping something. – You’re making a mess. You’re making a mess. Can’t be in space. You couldn’t be in space. You can take a spoon to the shuttle. – And there’s so much less. – The shuttle is- – That’s a big freakin’ spoon.- – Grounded forever though. – You’re right. I mean, a fork does more. You can spook things with a fork, but you can’t fork things with a spoon. And also, what you really need is…not to get overly technical here. If you really wanna get into some peas, you should put them in a separate bowl like a salad. ‘Cause peas on your plate roll everywhere and it’s tough to… Put your peas in a pea bowl. We should just sell that. Can we add pea bowl to the thing- – Pea bowl? (Rhett laughs) – You just put it in a little bowl so all the peas roll to the middle, and so you can easily scoop them with the spoon if you can. – Oh, like a funnel bowl? – I don’t wanna be chasing my peas all around and going into my other foods. I’m not that kinda guy! – I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The reason why I love garden peas is ’cause they’re the perfect vegetable to just mix in with stuff. – And they look just like deer turds. – You mix it in with rice, you mix it in with mashed potatoes, you just, it… You just add it. – It is a good mix-in, but I like a pure unadulterated pea, and I’m gonna say that crew said spoon. Y’all are smart. – No one voted for fork, right? – [Interviewer] 81% of the mythical crew uses a spoon to eat peas. – [Rhett] Yes, they do. That’s right. Not even 53%, 81. – Ironically, we all probably use forks more. – [Interviewer] That’s what…I mean, I- – But we think we, but we know that the spoon is- – [Interviewer] Like, would you actively get a spoon if…like, you don’t just have peas. Peas are next to something. Chicken,- – Right. – [Interviewer] Other food. And yeah, like you said, like…you wouldn’t actively put a spoon next to your fork whilst having the peas. That’s my opinion. – What is this?- – You just eat the peas with the form. – [Rhett] Is that potatoes or grits? – [Cook] That’s potatoes. – I thought it was whey. – Now, I’m torn on this one because- – [Link] These are some granular taters. – Because they hold together…they hold together well, I actually think that… Like you said, the fork is like tool number one, right. It’s what’s already in your hand. And to justify moving to spoon, or in my case, getting up, going into the kitchen, getting another utensil that I’m gonna have to wash… – Yeah. – [Interviewer] That’s what I’m saying. – That’s gonna take… (fork bangs) some incentive. And I don’t think that potatoes cross the spoon threshold, so I’m going with fork for potatoes. – Yeah. I mean… (fork bangs) don’t break the bowl, now. I think the mythical crew, the spoon won over though. Because…you tend to think… – When you’re not there interacting with it and you’re just answering a question off survey. – Yeah. It’s like, “Oh, my bosses are making me do this. This is not my job, guys. Why do I have to fill out this freaking survey about spoons and forks? You know this is like-” – [Interviewer] Actually, people were very excited about the survey- – It’s like the bee story- – I’ll have you know- – to a sucky sitcom. – I’m going with fork. – No one cares. – I think you stuck with your guns, the fork. – Spoon. – 52% of the mythical crew use a fork- – Yes. – [Interviewer] To eat mashed potatoes. – Okay. Y’all are really giving it your all. Okay, thank you. Thank you. – When you eat potatoes with a spoon, though, it feels a little… Any time you break a spoon out at all at a dinner, you feel like a baby. You know what I’m saying? Like, even if I did the pea bowl thing, I’d feel like a baby. Rice, oh. – And now we come to it. – Well, this is… Again, this is one of… This is bringing into focus one of those weird anomalies in the food world and that is the fact that the culture that brought us rice is also the culture that brought us chopsticks. And I know that if you make rice properly and you make it sticky- – Sorry, I gotta break this up ’cause it’s- – Then you can use chopsticks, but every single time I go to a restaurant and I’m eating like a stir fry rice dish with chopsticks, by the time I get to the end, I’m trying all kinds of ways to get that rice, and then I just…I break down. I go full American boy and I get the spoon and I just start going for the rice. – Or you just turn the bowl up and lick it. (spoon drops) Yeah, getting those individual grains it’s like diminished returns at that point. – Clearly, a spoon is the best tool for rice. – See, ’cause if you’re nervous… Like, let’s do the nerve test. Like, “Oh, this-” – I’m typically not nervous. – “The chef is watching me eat he rice, uhhh.” Come on, be nervous, be nervous. (rice falls) – [Link] Not that nervous. – [Rhett] I was to nervous. – [Link] And if I’m nervous next to you, I might be doing that- – [Rhett] But look. But look how much I’m retaining. Look how much I’m retaining. – Yeah, now- – Spoon is clearly better, but who eats rice with a spoon? – [Interviewer] That’s what like… Isn’t it…not… It’s like kind of embarrassing, no? – Yeah, I’m completely with you on this. – [Interviewer] Like, it’s embarrassing. Like, if you went to a restaurant- – But why is a spoon embarrassing? You feel like a baby. – Yeah, cause it’s like (makes baby noise) – [Cook] Like a Thailand and the Philippines. Is David on this call? – They don’t use chopsticks. – [Cook] No, they use a spoon to eat rice. You actually use a fork to push it onto your spoon and eat it, which I really support and respect. – Okay, I completely believe in the spoon for rice, but I do not believe that the crew got all the way there in the survey. I think they went with fork, unfortunately. – I’ma go with spoon. I have faith in the crew. – [Interviewer] 70% of the mythical crew uses a spoon to eat rice. – I don’t…no you don’t- – [Interviewer] But there were, there was conversation in the slack channel specifically about the rice and chopsticks situation. – I’m gonna bend this spoon. Let’s see if I can do this TikTok thing. Look. (Rhett inhales and exhales deeply) Did that look real? Did it look real? – [Interviewer] Yeah. In the main shot. That looked a little less real. – I don’t know how they do it. It’s just something like you push it down… (plates slide across table) Oh, did this do it? – Now this is tough. We’ve got brownie with ice cream on top. Now…so everyone… No one’s gonna eat ice cream with a fork. – But they do. – But if you eat a brownie and you’re gonna use a utensil, which I don’t know, you’d use a fork. – No, but look. A brownie comes for, to… The brownie gives under the weight of a spoon. Oh, of course. But if you were just eating a brownie with no ice cream, you might reach for a fork instead of a spoon to eat it. I believe that you would. But I think that the ice cream overrides it and I’m gonna say spoon. – You should say spoon. And you should also try it, ’cause it’s really good. – Because… – [Interviewer] I’m very disappointed in the mythical crew on this one because 55% of the mythical crew uses a fork to eat a brownie a la mode. You can’t get the melted ice cream… You cannot enjoy the full dish with a fork. You just cannot. – Yeah. – Here’s the thing, ’cause I’m with you on this being embarrassed by a spoon, but I think that the embarrassment threshold- – I’m over the embarrassment. – The embarrassment ends when dessert starts- – Dessert, yeah. Well, there’s also something… I don’t know how to describe it, but the like lip contact of a spoon versus a fork, like there’s more spoonage. And that’s okay when it’s like a sweet situation, but when it’s a savory situation,- – Especially when it’s – [Interviewer] Say, for soup- – Such a wide spoon. ‘Cause it’s like… I mean what you’re saying, you’re eating dinner, you’re like… – Yeah. You look like a complete idiot. But, everybody’s already agreed that we’re all idiots when we order dessert. You know what I’m saying? – There’s no judgment. – No, I’m just like, “Hey, throwing caution to the wind. We’re just eating sugar.” – That’s what I’m saying. There’s no judgment at dessert. – Already, right, yes. Exactly. – Judgment-free dessert zone. (plate slides across table) – You know what? (plate rattles on table) You may ask yourself occasionally, “How do those guys stay so well-groomed?” (crew laughs) You may be asking that less about me lately, and that’s your problem. That’s not my problem. The way that Link stays so well-groomed, is he goes to mythical.com. Actually, I don’t even think he has to go to the website, but unfortunately you do. And he uses our grooming products. We got a bunch of them. We got beard oil, we’ve got pomade- – I don’t use the beard oil. – We’ve got lip balm- – I use the pomade, I use the lip balm. – What else we got that we can groom? – Peculiarly perfect peanut butter peppermint lip balm. You know, some wooden berries lip balm. – We got that too. – You want a beard oil? You want…hair pomade as opposed to… foot pomade. (Link chuckles) – Right. Foot pomade coming soon. Watermelon? Hands. – Oh, watermelon. Don’t picture it like this. Picture it in a watermelon. There’s plenty of times that I would eat a watermelon with a spoon. – [Interviewer] Well, it specifically is a slice of watermelon. So, this is confusing to me- – Oh, it is? – [Interviewer] But yes. This is the- – Not neither. – Yeah. – A fork is… Well first of all, the consistency of a melon is such that, when cut, it has its own… It holds it together unlike anything we’ve tasted so far. – You just bite it. – So, if you’re gonna use a utensil, you’re gonna use a fork because you wanna be able to, you know, cut and poke. Perfect, right? – Well, that kinda didn’t work as well with the spoon. I’m abstaining from this. – If 85% or more of you didn’t use fork, – It just doesn’t… It’s nonsensical. – You’re all fired. (Rhett chuckles) – 81% of the crew – Ah! – [Interviewer] Uses a fork. – [Rhett] Yeah, they do. – To eat a slice of watermelon. – Why? – I will say- – Just use your hand and a mouth. – [Interviewer] There wasn’t that option. – It wasn’t a choice, you see? – [Interviewer] You had to choose. – That’s why I abstained. – [Interviewer] Okay, this is the last one. – Oh, this is… Oh, this is tough. This is tough. You would think it’s easy. – Beans. Now, these are soupy baked beans which, to get that soup, it pretty… It sends you to the spoon direction. – Clearly if you were matching utensils, again, and you were an alien, and you had no point of reference for this, what this food was, clearly mechanically a spoon is superior for beans. – I think we might even be in the 90s in terms of the vote. – [Interviewer] If you look back at the peas argument, I would argue that you would get up and get a spoon to eat the beans, no? – Yes. – Let me say this. These beans are more like a canned bean. Now, if you go to the south and you get baked beans… Like, your wife makes a really good baked bean recipe that comes… Like, she brings a whole- – It’s got burgers in it. – She brings a whole crock pot to whatever you’re at and it’s got multiple meats, beans, and it’s thick daddy. Let me tell you right now. And when you put that on your plate, it’s not like this. It doesn’t have stuff that runs. – It doesn’t go… (Link makes fart noise) It goes plump. – And a fork is absolutely perfect. There’s no advantage to a spoon when you’ve got a good set of baked beans. But we’re not talking about baked beans. We’re talking about regular old beans, which I also like. And as a bean man, I’m gonna say it’s gotta be spoon. But I don’t think it was above the 80s. I think it was 78% for using it. – 91% spoons. – 77%- – Aw, man! – [Interviewer] Of the mythical crew uses a spoon to eat baked beans. – Man, that would’ve been a beautiful way to end it. To get it right on the nose. – I’ve got a… You know, I’ve got… Are you a big spoon man or a little spoon man? – I’m a little mouth man, so I’m a little spoon man. – I’m a big spoon man. – Well, you got a big old mouth. – And I’m a long fork man. I’ve got long forks and short forks in my house, and I got big spoons and little spoons. – You always pick… I always pick the smaller. I’m not talking about like… I’m talking about like when you’ve got… This is kind of a… This is a big spoon. I would- – That’s a big spoon and this is a big fork. Like, we have forks that are like, the tines are like half that. – Is this? This is a pretty small fork. – No, that’s a longer fork. – Well- – The ones I have in my house, they’re like… There’s a shorter tined fork. I don’t do that ’cause you can’t stack- – I just do what I call regular sized. But very rarely do I break into the big ones until all the other ones are dirty. – I do the opposite. I’m a big spoon man. Look and feel your mythical best with our grooming collection available at mythical.com.
