(rooster crowing) (lion roaring) (cannon blasting) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re each gonna make a signature barbecue sauce before your eyes, taste it and compare. – But first we’re going to donate $1,000 to the Los Angeles LGBT Center which provides services for more LGBT people than any other organization in the world, offering programs, services, and global advocacy in areas such as health, social services, education, leadership and advocacy. Now, we are also, as a team, the Mythical Crew is participating in the Big 5K in order to raise money specifically for this charity. Our goal is to raise $10,000. So if you are able to, please support Team Mythical by going over to lalgbtcenter.org/mythical and giving. Thank you for being your mythical best, y’all. – So we have some nuggets here. – We don’t have pulled pork like… Oh, that Tennessee pulled pork just sitting there in that- – Yeah, I know. Tempting. – That’s the same. When I do it, I put it in one of those aluminum foil pans. I bring in these things called the bear claws, and I just, I rip it apart. A lot of times, I leave it in its juices. I leave it in its juices. That’s what I do, but I don’t sauce it. I let you sauce it. I let the people in the line sauce it. – ‘Cause I like a light sauce. Sometimes no sauce. – I don’t. The only thing that’s on there when I do it is just whatever worked its way in through the rub. – So we’re each gonna- – But these are nuggets. – Use these ingredients, some more unexpected than others, and see what kind of sauce- – I will say- – We can come up with. – I have a basic barbecue sauce recipe. If you would like to be informed by that as like, you know, just to know what rules you’re breaking. – That would be nice. – So the basic recipe is ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, liquid smoke and vinegar in proportions as they are laid out here. – So we’ve got all that. – I’m not gonna divert too much from that. – We’ve also got some OJ. We’ve got some peanut butter. I’m definitely going to try some peanut butter. I’m not giving up. Even though yours was a visceral experience, Trevor. Oh, if you want to do some measuring, you got that right there. – No measuring. No, no. Measuring’s for losers. – Let’s move the nuggets out and let’s put this in the middle so we can both reach it. – Okay. I just wanna get started. I wanna arrive at something that tastes like it could be barbecue sauce before I start making it something that’s not barbecue sauce. – My dad- – Makes his own barbecue sauce. – Makes his own barbecue sauce. – It’s real good. – Yeah. It seems like it’s equal parts vinegar and ketchup. I don’t think I’m going to go with any sugar in mine. I think there’s enough sugar in this. And so last time he came to my house, he brought all the ingredients and he just started making bottles of the stuff so we could have a supply. He’s due to come back out, because we are out. – I’m not a huge fan of liquid smoke, but I’m just going to do it too. – Yeah, that scares me too. – I’m just going to do a teeny… Okay. – When he does this, it’s more… More for chicken. – Well, and he also… So the main ingredient in any kind of eastern North Carolina barbecue sauce is vinegar and straight up- – Garlic powder. Yeah, sure. – Most of the eastern North Carolina sauce, it’s just, it’s not white vinegar. It’s apple cider vinegar, and then there’s just hot… There’s peppers in it. Like, just like red pepper and that’s it. That’s the whole sauce. – I wonder, what is that white vinegar gonna do that the apple cider vinegar wouldn’t do? Maybe- – It’s going to be stronger. – Yeah, did you do the OJ? – I haven’t done the OJ. – You did mustard. I’m going with OJ. – Again, like I said- – Oh, yeah. – I’m starting in a place of familiarity and then I’m moving into a place of adventure. – I like to mix adventure into every day of my life. – Can you just hand me that spoon over there? – Sure. (vocalizes) I’m not going with any liquid smoke. But onion powder? Yeah. – I like that. I would dip nuggets in that. But I’m not gonna stop there. I’m not going for something crazy. I’m going for something that is like, “Man, that’s a good barbecue sauce.” Garlic. You gotta have that. You’ve gotta get some black pepper in there. – Huh, tastes like orange juice and ketchup. – I really like pepper. I really, really, really, really- – I gotta have something to send mine in another direction. – I like cumin. – Tomato paste? – [Stevie] Paste? – A little thicker. – Gotta be easy with- – Paste. There you go. You took the bait. – Onion powder. Got to hit it hard with that. – Making this a little thick. – And a little bit of yeast. – Now- – Yeast? – Trevor, what does yeast do? – I have no idea. – Makes your sauce rise, man. – [Trevor] I never put yeast in barbecue sauce before. – Well, I think it might make you… I don’t know. It’s gonna make you have gas. – No, it adds a yeastiness to it. Uh, what was I… – I think I added too much… Too much of this orange juice. – Yeah, I was gonna say. Orange juice is gonna really send it. Send it hard in a certain way. – I did way… And now there’s a lot of salt. I just did that. – You don’t really need much salt, ’cause these sort of things already have a- – Maybe more of this. I’m glad this bowl is really big because I’m gonna have to keep adding to it. What’s going to cut orange juice? Do you know, culinary man? – Uh, Sprite… – Don’t use all the ketchup, ’cause I need some. – Huh? – Sprite for sure. – Oh, there’s a Sprite in here. – [Trevor] Sprite’s a staple of any regional Burbank style barbecue sauce. (can hissing) – Okay. – Yep, definitely Sprite. It’s not repackaged. – That yeast, I think, is doing great things for me. – Ooh. Ooh! (Sprite trickling) Okay. There’s more where that came from if I need it. That’s really watered down my situation. – Well- – I mean, if orange juice was the problem, I’m sure Sprite’s going to cure it. – Too much cumin. – Maybe some brown sugar. – I don’t want any sugar. – That’s your problem though. You need it some sugar. – That’s why it’s so liquidy. It’s ’cause you don’t have any sugar in it. – What about flour? Do you have any flour? – (laughing) No. – Can I put flour in my sauce? – You actually- – I need a bigger hole here. – [Trevor] Don’t wanna put raw flour in your barbecue sauce because raw flour can give you E. coli. – What about yeast? – Yeast is okay. – All right, I’ll take some of this, just because you told me. Just to thicken it up a little bit, huh? – Oh yeah. I got some big chunks of sugar in there. Sugar chunks. – Yours is an interesting color. That’s a result of the, what? – The process. – Oh. – The intention, the love that I’m putting into it. I need that little whisk. – See, I need… Oh, you do? This one? – I got one. – I want this big one, but it’s got your sauce on it. – I don’t think it’s going to mess your sauce up. (crew laughing) (Rhett laughing) – Little bit of cumin. (crew laughing) Well, that’s a strong smell. – Yeah. Do a very little bit. – I’ve already done what I did. – I actually did a little bit too much. – Kinda like what’s happening with that. – Shouldn’t have added the cumin. (crew laughing) – I kinda like- – Every time I add something and taste it I’m like, “I’m going in the wrong direction.” All right, mine’s… – Bit more. Oh, peanut butter. (Trevor laughing) – Yeah, you know what? Try that. – That’ll thicken it up. There’s sugar in peanut butter, like out the wazoo. Ooh, look at that! (Trevor laughing) Doesn’t that make you happy? – There’s a whole lot of spices in mine- – This right here? – Thick with spices. – Ooh, that’s nice. – You’re gonna get stuff all over you. All right, I’m gonna go ahead and taste mine with chicken. (whisk whirring) – Cumin and some peanut butter. – I like what happened here. – Try it with some chicken. – Oh, you’re done? – Mm-hmm. – Okay. And then we can see what mine needs. Ah, before I dip into this, I wanna invite you to check out the Good Mythical Crew: The Podcast? Yeah, we have a podcast on the Mythical Society called Good Mythical Crew: The Podcast. It gives you not only a peek, but you’re just diving in head first behind the scenes of what happens to create the mythicality that you enjoy on a week daily basis. – A week daily basis. – New episode is Creating the World of GMM (Rhett groaning) with the post team. – [Stevie] That’s, um… – It aired last Friday. – [Stevie] Well, it’s a combo of what the art department episode was called, and then also we have a post team episode, so. – Oh, yeah. Creating the World of GMM, previous episode, with Paisley and squad, but so now we’ve got the editors- – Post is critical, too. – Give it a little bit more sauce, man. – Editors dishing the dirt. – You’re gonna like this. Have faith in the sauce. – What did they cut out? Ooh, what can they not talk about, but then they’re talking about? Hosted by Chase on the Mythical Society. Join the Mythical Society, mythicalsociety.com. – Let me see what you think about the sauce. (Link humming) – Sweet. Tangy. – (humming) Yep. – It’s too much cumin. (Rhett laughing) – That’s the fatal error. – Mm-hm. You warned me. I’m not done with mine, but you can give me some directions. What? Let me taste it. (crew laughing) It looks like- – That’s awful. – It’s got shards of peanut butter in it. – That’s horrible. (crew laughing) – It just tastes like barbecue sauce, man. – I think I’ve done a good thing here. I just think I need to build up the proportions a little bit to thin out the spices, but I’m happy with the color. – I do like the color. – I think with the color, ’cause the color indicates there’s a little bit of tang to it. (Link humming) – [Rhett] The cumin is, um. I’d say you want half as much cumin. – Yeah, this doesn’t look good, huh? – No. (crew laughing) What do you call that? – Maybe it needs liquid smoke. You’re afraid of the liquid smoke. I’m not. Let’s just see. (crew groaning) Let’s just taste it. (crew laughing) Let’s just… I’m gonna mix it up good, don’t worry. (crew laughing) (Link vocalizing) – “Don’t worry, I’m gonna to mix it up.” (crew laughing) Don’t worry, I’m gonna get that liquid smoke in every bit. – Ooh, the peanut butter is gonna to suck that up before it hits your… – How do they make liquid smoke? I wanna- – They squeeze a fire, man. (Link coughing) It’s like eating a log the morning after camping. – It’s like last night at the campsite, you threw your Sprite can and your peanut butter and your ketchup bottles (Link laughing) and all the plastic- – God. – That came with it, burned it. Then you woke up, you got into an argument. Somebody punched you in the face. You fell over mouth-first into the campfire. – Yeah, yeah. But you weren’t burned. – No, ’cause it’s cold now. – Yeah, you… (Rhett laughing) – Yeah. – Okay. Well, you know what? At least we’ve still got a jar of peanut butter. And most of this Sprite. – And a plate of nuggets. – Do you judge- – Yes. – [Man] The three producers for when we give you our total runtime? ‘Cause sometimes I get real off when I was like, “Oh, yeah, that-” – No. I judge Rhett and Link. – Okay! (laughing) (all laughing) – No, I don’t!
