run-of-the-mill jack links over here and then we’ve got an assortment of brands we’ve got perky jerky wagyu beef we’ve got greg norman the golfer yeah makes way shark uh you might want to read about about him what do you know about greg and then we’ve got epic over here pause play over here the reason star provision and the reason that we responded is because this my friends is a good mythical s’more which means that the mythical society voted on what we would do during this particular more and as you can see it is when stevie says pause play pause we have to pause and then when she says play we have to then go back into the normal situation can we help you with this growing up around cattle stations in australia’s north i’ve always been passionate about australian wagyu now i’m sharing my favorite flavors of the outback with the world through my signature line of beef jerky each batch is crafted with 100 australian wild goo beef seasoned and slow dried to perfection using only the highest quality ingredients i don’t know a lot about greg he was a big big name in golf back in the 80s and into the 90s a little bit he wore a hat he wore the hat he was a fierce competitor and he went on to market or brand himself in a way we need these post golf that many other golfers have tried to emulate since like he’s got like first thing he sold clothing was a um was a vacuum the shark you want to try the jack links first or do you want me to sneeze first pause i lost it wow i really had to sneeze he got lost in the paws man hey you know what if mythical society members mean a lot to us and when they want us to pause we pause sneezes stop you know what stevie you could have saved my life think about it what if that was the sneeze that would have killed me or she could have killed you by you trying to hold it in that too but it didn’t so i’m saying hypothetically let’s try the original jack links this is just to set up baseline for beef jerky a beef a beef baseline ain’t nothing wrong with that i mean it’s not what’s the one that we really like archery archer farms archery farms okay so you’re eating the tere yaki let me get into that it’s good chewier josh i don’t know what you think about this it might be a controversy it’s not as tender very kind as far as the jerky industry goes some of the most controversial what is i don’t know what are you talking about oh i was gonna say red says to be honest that why don’t you ever mimic what i say wagyu beef he talks more about food like i i try i normally try and help you out when you’re like pause oh josh you don’t have to stop talking about that’s great when you’re when you’re like oh i taste this flavor is that right normally i’m like yeah i could see how you’d do that but then you brought up the fish and the saffron and i just couldn’t do it so it’s not that you know rhett says more accurate things than you should sometimes you’re so wildly off-base that i have nothing to say so i’m kind of rendered speechless just as you are anyways what i find very interesting about turkey jerky is that they actually used to have 150 milligrams of caffeine inside the jerkies and that was in 2009 right company was obviously founded in 2006. then 2010 the usda said that quranic can no longer be used as a supplement additive and only as a flavor additive so they had to start gradually dropping the amount of caffeine in their jerky it went down to 50 milligrams a couple years later then down to 20. now perky jerky they found out they don’t even need the caffeine they just made like a really good jerky product and so no caffeine anymore despite the name perky jerky because i used to actually eat that as like a pre-workout when i was 17 right in high school because then i’d get the protein and the caffeine and boy does it live up to its name it really perks you up now wagyu i mean the name literally just means japanese cow but that said there aren’t a ton of legal protections on what can and can’t be called wagyu so like you know japan stopped importing kobe beef from traditional wagyu back in the 1980s but american cattle breeders they actually took that and they crossbred it with the longhorn kettle which is obviously the most prominent cattle breed in america so now what you’re getting is mostly watered down breeds and they can still use the term wagyu so who actually knows what’s in that jerky i like turkey jerky play oh thank god i can’t hear when i’m paused well thank you for that josh you didn’t answer any of the questions that i was about to ask you um which is you know okay i’ve been to some fancy restaurants in my day right and i have been encouraged by the the waiter to order the wagyu steak and i’ve done it maybe three times in my life each time i have felt that it wasn’t as good as if i had just gotten like a new york strip mm-hmm and i i’m just gonna echo that and say that something about that it didn’t taste as good it was a little game gamey yeah why would it be gamey i mean we’re traditionally eating cows that are raised on like a soy and corn diet that aren’t raised with uh you know being fed grass and that traditionally gives it a gamer flavor but if you’re looking for wagyu beef like you really got to look for the term a5 as the highest grade of log use that’s the stuff that’s like a hundred dollars an hour that’s a from japan stuff yeah yeah yeah and a5 there’s also like genetically tested american wagyu uh my favorite shout out to lone mountain ranch they have really good true american wagyu that was never crossbred this one is better this is mesquite is better but something about the you know and i like like a rib eye that’s got marbling but the extremely extreme marbling in a wagyu i just don’t i don’t know too much in fact i did a i went to that what’s that fancy steakhouse it was when i was taking lockout for his birthday you ignored my recommendation for bourbon steak and you went to cut instead yes and i asked you where so good where should i take lot because he really likes steak and josh said bourbon sick and i went home and i said all right josh says we got to go to bourbon steak and he was like but i want to go to cut which is this like fancy smancy beverly hills steak restaurant and they had a like a steak sampler that had wagyu and then like a prime you know dry aged ribeye or whatever and the wagyu was my least favorite of the sampler so that was like a literal side-by-side comparison bourbon steak has that whiskey tasting flight where they bring out the whiskey cart and one of the whiskies they have the the smoker what is it called they like turn the glass over and put the smoke oh yeah yeah like the clothes yeah i’ve worked with yeah it’s weird because it’s at the americana and you’re like but like also um dentai fung is at americana so americana man listen i want to go back to the americana so bad right now like do you think about how much you’re getting melanoma enjoy going to the americana do you think about how much you’re gonna enjoy that uh to be fair i’ve never enjoyed going oh come on but i do enjoy bourbon steak we met somebody who got a little stink that stank what’s this perky jerk you got why it stink got derpy maybe the maybe the caffeine used to preserve it and now that it doesn’t sorry who is it that we knew that lived at it i don’t know i don’t know if i want to eat this this you know when you’re in the americana yeah apartments in your life who lives there and we met somebody who’s a youtuber where who lived at the americana i feel like if you were single and you were like let let there be be people here all the time because i need that well just to give you just a quick little rundown of living in los angeles okay so if you pause uh bourbon steak they they also they give you a little flight of fries yes it’s nice and it’s like a free like comes with everything so you’re always getting that i also like how dark it is in there like it’s the perfect place to enjoy bourbon and steak the the one complaint i have is that the food is so good and there’s so much of it that you can’t possibly eat everything that you’re served and you also want to get everything on the menu because i like a good wedge salad at us at a steak place but by the time i get through the wedge you know there’s not enough room for and the the fries i know it’s like i want all the apps but like i’m here for steak yeah yeah now we have the same experience there play uh pull that in and show it to the people well i gotta come wait but i want to hear about living in los angeles i’m gonna get to that we have we have so listen i mean this whole the whole grooming collection has been updated redesigned expanded mythical grooming collections of course we’ve got uh the peanut butter peppermint lip balm but we also have a new flavor pack called candy milk candy milk y’all yes uh which is like when you put it’s kind of like when you put skittles in and it’s kind of like skittle milk but better the classic beard oil right we got that but we’ve also updated now we’ve got beard balm which has a little bit more hold to your beard if your beard like mine tends to get pretty out of control we got the original palm made but now we’ve got the clay pomade which has kind of a different feel to it yeah the difference is uh the clay pomade has a um it’s it’s lighter and so that’s what i use on my hair now um you know we wanted to we’ve got that one handling touched mythical hand load smells fresh the scent on this is reminiscent of mythical number nine if you remember the uh the clone that we did and then of course love it my favorite thing in the whole collection besides the bag to keep it all in is the mythical musical comb that plays the gmm theme it takes a second to get the hang of it but you can see how easy i got it on the second try there yeah and then you can run it through your hair and it’ll it’ll it’ll make uh a song as well mythical.com i don’t want to try this because it stinks but while you okay i want i’m afraid i want to try it oh you do i think it’s bad oh you think it’s bad yeah i think it’s turned because it says um it doesn’t say anywhere that it stinks on it and i’m going to go for this this is a little scary sea star provision here’s what i’m going to tell you stevie okay if you want to live at the americana like that youtuber that we can’t remember if you want a 704 square foot studio okay you’re gonna pay 2700 27.50 a month so 2750 seems really fair now if you want a one bedroom 737 square feet it’s three thousand one hundred dollars a month if you want um a two bedroom which is fourteen hundred square feet that’s forty eight hundred dollars a month it has a spacious patio with higher ceilings i don’t 4 800 a month i kind of i i really don’t understand i i don’t understand the benefits to it i mean i kind of believed what i said about being single i mean pandemic is no time for for for this situation but well do you want the one bedroom marked penthouse because that’s 951 square feet but it has a private view a private view like a view that no one else can see yeah exactly and that’s 49.50 almost five thousand dollars a month gee willikers five thousand dollars and y’all that’s glendale you’re spending that money on an americana apartment how are you gonna go to bourbon steak what am i eating right now you are eating um it’s sea star provisions uncommonly exceptional um i like i might like it i i didn’t dislike it but i didn’t like it as much as the jack links i can’t get into the epic i’m having some trouble here um i’ve reached it we break off a piece of that epic there was a day years ago when i went to stevie’s office paused clay and she had this meat bar yeah uh just sitting on the windowsill of her office what’s that i thought you meant like a bar at which i served meat it was like a meatball it sounds like a fun thing are you being serious yeah and you had you had gotten into this epic oh when i had like a package of the yeah that was when i first started doing the paleo thing which you know has long gone out the window yeah you did that first and now and then we started having them at the office yeah but we got the um we got the like chicken sriracha one which just tastes like pure salt to me i very dry i l i like that one you do oh there’s one this is very dry but i don’t really like dry meat like the bacon one’s kind of fatty but it tastes the best i don’t i don’t dislike epic they do a good job with pretty much everything i’ve tried but i gotta say they’re so gaming jack links is better than all of this stuff i think one of the things i’m saying i’m finding is that well again like josh said this is 100 grass fed now do you want any more of that all right i want to know your culinary opinion on this because i know that the you know from a humane standpoint and from an environmental standpoint grass-fed clearly the way to go but from a pure taste standpoint if you if you wanted just a cut of beef that was grain fed or grass-fed which one are you going for i actually i’m not a big fan of grass-fed like i do prefer grain-fed maybe grass finish or grass-fed grain finish but i think that’s a conditioning issue it’s like if you were raised on cows that were fed with grass as they are like meant to be in nature you would probably prefer that taste right but it does have a more gamey taste which again it is a conditioning thing you’re saying a conditioning thing for our palate it’s like how i prefer the taste of like a hot pocket over like a potato or like a beet you know like like nature grew the beets for me but like i we turned them into hot pockets now i like that exactly yeah that’s right yeah but have you ever found a hot pocket tree not yet still looking the search continues yeah right that’s right the hot pocket tree that’s right pause i felt like you wanted me to pause you because you kept saying that’s right and doing that thing yeah over and over again yeah i thought it’d be a good thing to end on can i get into the position and then you pause me okay yeah play there’s a brand of beef jerky at costco that’s for dogs but it really looks like it should be for humans and i’ve always wanted to try it it’s got like brown rice on it and it looks nice our grooming collection is growing
