(rooster cock-a-doodle-doo) (lion roar) (board ticking) – Welcome to Good Mythical More, which soda pairs best with the Big Mac? – What better way to get summer started than giving some money, a $1,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Legal Defense and Educational Fund, to aid in their mission to fight for racial justice, through litigation, advocacy and public education, join us in giving at naacpldf.org/donate. – Thank you for being your mythical best and for starting Good Mythical Summer along with us. Now, at the top of the show we didn’t say, “Good Mythical Summer”, we said Good Mythical Morning, wait we actually talked a lot about whether we were gonna– – Right up until the moment that we recorded. – Good Mythical Summer. This summer, we decided not to. We’re gonna say Good Mythical Morning. – And the reason we’re doing that, is because the year has been so crazy and we usually, Good Mythical Summer is usually a sign that we’re doing the show differently, again, three times a week, there’s a guest host, but we kinda did the weird three times a week thing, because of COVID earlier, so now we’re doing, we’re trying to bring some normalcy back to the show and hopefully to your life, so we were just like, you know what, let’s just go with Good Mythical Morning this summer. – I don’t know that you can apply the word “normal” to anything we ever do, but… – Right, you know, semi-normalcy. – It is a Good Mythical Summer, and not only is this show back, but Ear Biscuits is back. We took a conversational break, but we’re moving at the speed of conversation, over there, wherever podcasts are found. If you wanna keep up with how we’re experiencing our summers personally, and inter-personally. – Personally and inter-personally. That’s almost what we called it. – Listen to Ear Biscuits, okay? – Link, here’s a Big Mac for you. – Thank you. – There’s nothing else – Are you hungry? I want more than another Big Mac. – So, we’re gonna go through all the sodas. – This looks so little now, compared to all of those creations. – We’re gonna go through all the sodas that McDonald’s offers, and see which one you should get along with your Big Mac, because, listen… That’s something everybody needs to know, because remember, our tongues make decisions for your tongue. (chuckles) Is that how this works? – I’m gonna sure up my… – You wanna get it perfect? – My Big Mac. – I gotta say, the Big Mac is the right size. (box rustles) Okay, I’m just gonna take one bite, I’m taking small bites, just so I can kind of make my way through this. – I think the first time the Big Mac was pitched, or prototyped, and that other bun in the middle, or if it was discussed, if it was pitched like in theory, but not in prototype. That doesn’t sound like a good idea, (soda fizzes) But it… It does something, it really spaces out the things that– – Matter. – That matter. I mean, it matters because of how it contributes to the overall effect. – Hm. – But you wouldn’t think that it mattered as much as it does. Like, I just wanna give some appreciation to the unloved middle bun. Where are we starting? – Start with Sprite, ’cause this is a special Sprite. – A special Sprite? – Yeah, that’s a special, what flavor’s that? – Tropic Berry. – Tropic Berry Sprite. So I’m just starting with the regular Sprite and I gotta say, Sprite and a burger, it’s good, it’s a good combo. I typically don’t get Sprite, you get Sprite? – No. My kids will get Sprite ’cause I say, “You gotta pick one without the caffeine”. – Sprite. Okay. – The special sauce works with the lime bite. Plays well with the pickle. – Oh, so you’re actually putting it in your mouth, chewing and then drinking at the same time? – Well, do it how you do it. – Well, I’m not commenting on it, I’m asking, I’m clarifying, is that what’s happening? – That’s what I did, yeah. – ‘Cause I typically don’t eat that way. – Me neither. (laughing) I don’t like Dr Pepper. – So I’m not gonna start now. – Maybe I’ll– – Hold on what about this one? – Oh, you wanna go with that next? – Yeah. We went Sprite, then Crazy Sprite. – Crazy Sprite. – Tropical berry. – Oh. – Tastes like strawberry Fanta. Is that a thing? – I don’t know. Sprite Cranberry, that’s a thing. That’s my LeBron James impersonation. – Oh, that’s really good. – Sprite Cranberry. Remember that commercial? – No, I don’t. (chuckles) – Every Christmas LeBron’s like, “Sprite Cranberry”. – Every Christmas? Maybe on your local television. – Yeah, I think, did I not say on my own local television? On the Neal television LeBron shows up and says, “Sprite Cranberry”. – I’m a big fan of Dr Pepper, we already know that. – I don’t like it at all. Maybe I’ll like it more, that’s the real test. Take a little Big Mac bite. – You know what year – Take a little drink a little Sprite. – This was invented? 1885, you know how many different flavors it has? There’s no way that it has 23 flavors, like… 23 flavors of what? – You got a little flavor saved right there. – 23 flavors of what, you tell me? – 23 different flavors? – What kinda flavors? If you were to show me the flavors, and take them to the root-flavor. I don’t believe it. – Medicine flavor. – Yeah, right, that’s most of it. – Dr Piss flavor. (soda fizzes) Pharmacist Piss flavor. Those are three. – There no way there’s 23 flavors in there, it’s a lie. There’s not even 23 ingredients. – Liquorice. – I mean, it says, “Natural and Artificial flavors”, I guess they wouldn’t lie. – Liquorice is a flavor. Pharmacist’s liquorice, doctor’s liquorice. – I like Dr Pepper a lot, but I don’t typically get it with food. I get it if I’m on a road trip. When somebody’s going into a “Curb Store” as my dad calls it, which is another word for a convenience store. “You want something to drink?”, I’m like, “Yeah, now that you ask, yes. Diet Dr Pepper, please”, that’s what I say, and I always say please ’cause I’m kind. – You ever had a diet Mellow Yellow? – Yeah. – As obsessed as we were with Mellow Yellow, why did we never get into diet Mellow Yellow when we thought that would be a better idea? – Because it was not served in many places. – I don’t remember ever seeing it anywhere. – It wasn’t in any stores. – Is it in a “Curb Store”? (Rhett’s chewing squelching) When I drink an orange drink, it takes my back to Tee-ball. – Yeah. – Like, you know, I mean, this is kid’s fair to me, man. You know, you can’t hit a ball without it being on a pedestal. – Do you remember how it use to work? In Tee-ball, like not Tee-ball, but the next step up from Tee-ball? The coach would pitch the ball to you, and then if you couldn’t hit it after three tries, they brought out the tee. And that was the most humiliating thing, it’s like, “Of course I can hit it off a tee”. Do they still do that? They still bring out a tee? – [Morgan] Yeah, I think so. – Morgan’s child is not old enough. They’ll start ’em at three though. Three years old, they’ll start ’em on real Baseball. I saw a banner for it, “Real Baseball, ages three to 18”. – Oh, really? – That’s literally what the sign said. You’re missing one thing though, before they would take the tee away, they would bring out the coach and he would pitch, but he would pitch it to land on the tee, and then you’d hit it. – Right, it was really about how good he was. – Yeah and he was always great. I don’t want anymore of this. – I didn’t like that with this. Then we’re closer to the original situation. Morgan, what sports do you want your child to play? Do you have anything in mind? (soda fizzes) – [Morgan] Whatever they wanna play. – That’s right, – No, no, you can’t. That’s what every parent says. – Whatever they wanna play. – Whatever they wanna do, and then you realize they don’t wanna do anything. (laughs) And you have to make them do something. – E-Sports. (tongue click) – [Morgan] Hockey? – Yeah, yeah. – [Morgan] My wife doesn’t want them to. – Hockey because you still played hockey, you still hockey it up. – Yeah. (box rustles) – How many dad’s you got on the squad? – [Morgan] I think they all are, actually. I was the last one. – You’re the last dad on the squad? – [Morgan] Yeah. – Did they call you boy? (laughter) – Oh, I like that. I like a cola and a burger together, and my tastes have adapted to a diet taste. – Right. – So, this is the best so far for me. – I think it’s the best just because it’s not as sweet. – Use to it. – You’re so use to it. For me, Sprite is giving it a run for its money, because it has this tangy bite to it, that goes with the sauce and the pickle. You gotta go back to the Sprite. But I’m going all the way to the Coke which… – Yeah, let me go there first. (Link’s lips smacking) (soda fizzes) – I mean, if you’re ready for the sugar. I wanna go to the middle of the… – Yeah, go straight to the middle. – If you’re ready for the sugar, the Coke is better than the Diet Coke. – Oh, yeah it is. – It’s so good. – Oh yeah, I just remembered why… So many people drink this. What do you mean? What do you mean it can make me fat? (chuckles) That’s not true, it’s liquid. – It’s like dark water. – Yeah. I mean, it goes right through ya, I pee it right out. (loud exhale) – Whoops, I’m teetering. I’m going back to the Sprite, but Coke is in the lead for me. – There’s so much special sauce on this particular Bic Mac that I feel like I’m drinking special sauce. I’m not complaining. – And that’s the real test, because I think it’s the liquid part of the burger that goes with the liquid part of your liquid. – You’re right, the Sprite is close. Sprite just moved ahead of Diet, now I’m down to Sprite and Coke. – (belches) Excuse me. – That’s just so pleasant. – How many people eat and burp, professionally? On the internet. – When people do those big mukbang’s, do they just burp the whole time? Does that happen? – Yeah, it’s part of it. – It’s part of it? – It’s part of it, it’s like built into the business model. – I just hate… I just hate – And now it’s time for a sponsorship. – Watching people burp. – And now it’s time for a burp. – I’d rather watch somebody fart than burp, ’cause I can’t see them fart. – [Morgan] There are videos for that too. (laughter) – You know on TikTok there’s bunch of farting people. – What? – There’s people who fart and I don’t know why they keep sending it to me. My “For you” page has like– – Bunch of farters? – There’s a dude who wears a, he’s a big dude who wears a very small Batman mask, and he sits on the freaking toilet. He actually takes a crap in his TikToks, I’m like why are you showing this to me? I hate this. And then there’s a grandpa. – You seem to keep watching. – No. – It shows it to you, because you watch it. – There’s a grandpa. – That’s the way it works. – There’s a grandpa. – It’s an algorithm. – There’s a grandpa, who literally does this, his grandson or somebody films him and he’s standing in the kitchen, and then he’s got a broom, and he’s doing something and then all of a sudden he just goes… (mimicking farts) And he does this walking fart, standing in place, and it’ll be like three clips of grandpa going… (mimicking farts) And I don’t wanna watch it, but once you start watching that old man sit there and fart with the broom, you can’t stop. – That’s different. – [Morgan] It’s called a flatulist as a profession, it was actually big in France in the early 1900’s. – Yeah, there was a dude who could actually play music out of his butthole. – [Morgan] Yeah, his name is Le Pétomane. – Yes, I feel like we talked about him on the show at some point. – We have, but we didn’t feel the need to keep talking about him, and this is coming from a guy who has farted on this show, a coupe of times. – I farted once on this show, all right. – I’ve farted at least twice. – Okay, final decision, I’m gonna take one last– – But they weren’t intentional. On our vlogs, there was a moment where my fart was intentional, for comedic effect, but I’d like to apologize for that. I’m sorry for intentionally farting, no I’m not. But I mean, on the toilet, that is too far. With a broomstick and a good dance, that’s welcome. Those two different things. – But I was kinda getting at, I kinda like watching, I don’t like watching, I like watching someone fart more than I like watching someone burp, ’cause I can see where it’s coming, I just– – (forceful burp) Yeah, it’s like your eyes kinda cross, and then your cheeks shake. – Okay. Last chance or last decision, three, two, one, let’s decide which one we like better, is it gonna be the Sprite side or is it gonna be the Coke side. Three. – You’ve hidden the Sprite, let’s do this. – Two. – This is what you mean. – One. – Sprite. – Coke, definitely. – All right, I’m going with the Sprite. – You know what, that’s why they have a machine where you can pick the one you want. You can mix them together if you want. – I want a Sprite with a little bit of Coke and my Big Mac.
