GMMore 1912: What’s the Best Late Night Snack?

(rooter crowing) (lion roaring) (wheel clicking) – Welcome “Good Mythical More.” Let’s peruse the world of late night snackage. – But first congratulations to Brittney McKenzie. – [Link] Brittney. – [Rhett] You repped that merch out in the wild with hashtag merchicality and- – [Link] On, no you didn’t. – [Rhett] We are going to give you a $30 mythical.com gift card just so you can go get some more. – Brittney. – Rockin’ those color changing cups. – Working those bangs. – Bangs! – Working those nose rings. I wonder if the left nostril is jealous of the right nostril because it doesn’t get punctured. – It may be happy that it didn’t get punctured. – [Stevie] Hey, guys. – Hey. – [Stevie] You guys like that- – Who is that? Where is that voice coming from? – It’s coming from my hoodie at mythical.com. – I’ve never done that joke, Stevie. – Yeah, the day has finally come, you’re losing it. – You like my hoodie Stevie? Be nicer to people. – [Stevie] I love your hoodie. – It was a bumper sticker and now here we go. We’re making it a hoodie because we’re increasing the kindness to humankind. – You wear that thing outside, two things will happen. One, you will not be hit by a car. Now, listen, that is not, I’m not saying it’s a guarantee, but you definitely lower your chances of being hit by a car. – Stevie? – And the second thing, if you do accidentally get hit by a car, the person’s gonna feel extra bad when they roll up and see you in the hoodie. – Right. (Rhett laughing) Like oh, gosh. – What do you mean when they roll up? You mean when they back up over you? – Yeah, when they back up over you, they’re like, oh, that was a person. And then they’re like oh, man, it was a nice one. I got a nice one. – Be nicer to people. – [Stevie] Mythical.com. Also still a bumper sticker if you want to match your car as one does when you wear the hoodie. – Putting the bumper sticker on your car tends to be a guarantee against your own road rage. – [Stevie] Yeah. – Although a lot of times, people with those Christian fish on those cars get kind of mad at people, so maybe we should, maybe that doesn’t always… – [Stevie] Christian fish, late night snack. – Late night snacks. Okay, we’re choosing between two? – [Stevie] Yeah, we’re gonna debate which thing you like better in each of these pairings. Do you eat late night snacks, like in normal life? – I try not to. – You know, the whole staying at home lifestyle has, that’s where it’s really crept in. I’ll stay up later on the weekends and just watching crap and then I’ll come out to the kitchen and like at least one of my teenagers will be in there making a complete meal, like Lily and Lincoln at like 1 a.m, 2 a.m., they’re in there making like- – That’s the life. – They’re making like mac and cheese and then putting stuff in it. Lincoln has started doing this thing for his late night snacks where he’ll take a tortilla, like he always starts the tortilla. – You gotta start with a tortilla. – And then he goes to candy. – And the tortilla? – And he’ll put candy, like he had a Twix. – Okay, when you say candy, I think, I’m thinking like- – Yeah. – But you’re saying candy bar. – Chocolate. – Okay, now I’m back on board. – He slathered peanut butter and then he put Twix and he rolled that up and he microwaved it. – I’m on board. – And I just, I just go in there when somebody’s rustling just to see what they’re creating. – Well, what do you eat, though? – It’s like the Mythical Kitchen at my house. – You don’t eat that. – I eat cereal. – [Stevie] Cassie eats cereal. That’s like every late night she eats a bowl of cereal. I don’t, I don’t know. I can’t get on board with that. – It doesn’t hit, cereal doesn’t hit me- – The crunch of it. – I want something savory. – I need sweetness and I need the crunch and I need the milk, man. – [Stevie] But like at night, like remember when we used to not like be in the house, like going out, that’s my favorite part about going out. Going out to the bar, but then the food afterwards. That’s the, that’s why you go out. – Street tacos. – The street tacos. – Man. – The fast food that you don’t eat unless you’re intoxicated to a point where you think it’s okay. – Right. – You know? – Wake up with like Del Taco cheese under the table. – We’ll get back there, we’ll get back there. – [Stevie] Yeah. Leftover pizza versus leftover Chinese food. – Oh, pizza. All day, all night. – Leftover Chinese food, we always have, my family tends to always get too much food, like you come to a party at the McLaughlin’s house, what they’re gonna do is there’s gonna be as much food, there’s gonna be, you’re not gonna get more than 50 percent into the food that was provided, right? We just buy too much food. And we think, oh, but the kids will eat it, we’ll eat it. When you do that with Chinese food, you get in there for like a halfway satisfying one meal and then you’re just like I don’t wanna go back to this again. Pizza’s always good, though. – Yeah, it doesn’t heat, and I do not heat up the pizza. I eat it out of the fridge cold. Like that’s- – [Stevie] I like cold, I like fridge cold pizza. Cassie likes to not put the pizza in the fridge, she’ll put it in the box and eat it in the morning. – Room temp. – That, that is my ideal, too. So me and Cassie are two for two. – [Stevie] Oh, okay. – We should live together. – [Stevie] I like it a little bit cold. I don’t know, there’s something about, it just, it transforms into something that’s completely different when it’s cold. – Yeah, it hardens. – I tend, if I got time, I like to put it back in the oven. – [Stevie] It depends on the- – Broil. – [Stevie] The brand for me. It depends on where it’s coming from. – I’m talking fast food pizza, not like that thin crust fru-fru stuff. I’m talking about like the, you know Papa Johns of the world. – I mean the New York pizza industry by the slice is based on the principle of taking pizza that was cooked and then cooking it again and so that is the principle that I operate on. – Isn’t like the last time we went to New York, we went on like a big pizza, late night pizza raid. – [Stevie] That one, that one. Didn’t we go to that one pizza place we thought was old, but it was just made to look old- – There was a line, though. – [Stevie] And then we were sad. Yeah. But it was still really, really good. – Yeah, it was. – Mozzarella sticks versus quesadillas. – For leftovers? – [Stevie] No. – Okay, okay, so just late night snacks. – I like mozzarella sticks because the commitment is smaller and then you can, when you’re done eating the mozzarella stick, I still need something sweet, so I can go somewhere else, too. – I think for late night snackage, that a mozzarella stick, it might be the perfect late night snack, because first of all, cheese in general is the best food that the planet has ever come up with. I mean, I think that most people would agree with that. – You can dip it in stuff. – But then when you fry that cheese, you’ve done, you’ve taken the best food in the world and done the best processing that we have come up with. – [Stevie] Do you have mozzarella sticks in your house? – No, of course not. – Yeah, you would have to get like a bag of frozen ones and like pop them in the toaster oven or something. – We have them in our house sometimes. – [Stevie] Do you? – I think we have like- – I can’t have- – The Trader Joe’ version, I could be wrong. – Nobody in my house has any discipline. We have discipline to not buy the thing. But once it’s, it’s almost like it’s supposed to be eaten since it’s in the house, so we don’t operate, there’s no discipline when something is purchased. We’re like oh, let’s get this big bag of candy or let’s get a bunch of those mini chocolate bars. – They’ll get eaten. – One day. – One day it will lasts in my house at most. – [Stevie] Here’s something else I don’t like about mozzarella sticks. You need marinara sauce and then, so you have to get the marinara sauce and you have to heat it up. That’s just an extra step. – You don’t have to have marinara. – I like Ranch. – [Stevie] Okay, I can buy Ranch. Cookies versus ice cream? – Ice cream. – [Stevie] Now this is a sweet. We’re getting into sweet territory here. – I love ice cream. – Definitely ice cream. – Another reason that we don’t have it in the house, ’cause I’ll eat a whole pint of it. – If you said cookie dough. – [Stevie] Cookie dough. Oh, I thought you meant cookie dough ice cream. – That, my answer would switch. But it gotta go with ice cream. – Ice cream is a great, you know what, my wife doesn’t, she like sees me getting really excited about ice cream and she’s like, I just don’t get ice cream. – [Stevie] Well, okay. We recently ordered Jenny’s pints, you know Jenny’s in Los Filos and, ’cause you can order it on Postmates, they come in pints and also you can order like a set of 10 sugar cones or whatever cones you want and the pints, you’ve been to Jenny’s right? – I haven’t. – I don’t think I have. – Where is it? – [Stevie] It’s on Hillhurst. – Oh, I definitely haven’t been. – [Stevie] It is- – How long has that been there? – [Stevie] A few years, but they have like, you know, gourmet flavors. Like they had, one of them was like gooey, vanilla gooey cake or something like that and it’s cream cheese ice cream with vanilla cake and butterscotch swirls and then they had peanut butter with salted chocolate chips. – Oh, my. – [Stevie] This type of ice cream is like next level delicious. – What’s the other place down, there’s one downtown that’s super, they do the weird flavors, too. – [Stevie] There’s McConnell’s. – No. What is that place. – Salt and Straw. – Salt and Straw. – Salt and Straw. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s like that, it’s like that. – It sounds like, the thing that’s like the mistake that Salt and Straw makes, I think, is they’ll have a bunch of really interesting flavors. – Too artistic. – And then two many of them aren’t good is my thing. – [Stevie] Well, also you have to make, like so on the Jenny’s list, they had honey lavender and I was like that sounds delicious, but if you’re getting a pint, you gotta make a, like a big choice. It’s a big choice to make. – It’s a lot of lavender. – You can’t have a whole- – And I love lavender flavored things. – Exactly, but you can’t, you can’t get a pint. – I like the pint thing in general, though, because I’m like listen, I’m just gonna get one pint, but then I’m gonna eat the whole pint and then it’s gonna be gone and that’s gonna be it. That’s what I’m gonna do. – Well, okay. – And I’ll usually, and I, maybe I’ll say I may eat half the pint and I’ll eat it twice. Keeping a whole gallon of ice cream is… I’ve outlawed that from the house and there’s periods when I’m like, you know, don’t bring cereal in this house. I can’t do it. – [Stevie] Cassie tried that for one week and couldn’t make it and every day was talking about cereal. (Rhett laughing) I couldn’t make it at that point. – She’s my soulmate. – [Stevie] Yeah, I think so. Bagel Bites versus pizza rolls. This is interesting. – I don’t have a strong opinion about either one of those. We’ve never had, I’ve only had them- – Pizza rolls are a lot better. – I’ve only had them like on the show. – Like deep fried shells, but like a Bagel Bite is like… – A Bagel Bite is- – It’s like toppings teetering on something. – But a Bagel Bite is like a chip. – [Stevie] You guys do not have enough experience with this. – A Bagel Bite is a chip, right? – [Stevie] No. No, it’s like, they’re like litty, litty (laughing). – Little bagel pieces. – [Stevie] Little mini bagels. – With stuff on it, teetering on it. – With a marinara and cheese and pepperoni. – Oh, but like prepared by like somebody at a party. – But they’re not consistent. – No, no, no. – You get them frozen. – On the stove. It’s just like a pizza bagel- – And you just put them in a toaster oven or an oven and you heat them up. – I think Bagel Bites sound better than pizza rolls. – They’re not, they’re not better and they’re not, because they’re not as consistent and there’s a bagel involved. – [Stevie] Consistent. They’re very good, but I will say the problem with Bagel Bites is you get pizza mouth, which is when you burn the top of your mouth- – You gotta watch. – [Stevie] Because you’re really impatient. – For both of them. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. – [Stevie] And ooh, that hurts, that feeling. That pizza feeling. – It’s the worst feeling. – [Stevie] Ramen versus specifically Kraft mac and cheese. – These are the, that’s the other thing that my kids will make in the middle of the night. It’ll either be Ramen or mac and cheese and they kind of rotate between what they’re making. – You can’t beat mac and cheese because of the and cheese part. – I think that they go to Ramen second. – I like Ramen a lot, but mac and cheese, man, again, cheese is my weakness. Could you put cheese on Ramen? – Sure. – [Stevie] Oh, gosh, this list is so, so large. We got a cereal versus a popcorn. We know Link’s answer on that one. – Yep, that’s not good. – I’m a big popcorn fan. – [Stevie] Okay, what about in the- – Popcorn is a tease. – [Stevie] In the sandwich- – It’s not satisfying in your belly. – Eat enough. – No, that gives me a stomachache if I eat too much popcorn. – That’s why you gotta know your limits. – But then I’m hungry. – [Stevie] This is bologna sandwich versus PB and J, but I would take this as what sandwich. – I have never thought about making a PB and J after hours. Never. – After hours. – And I like a PB and J. – But like I will not make, I’m not gonna, I don’t like, that’s no fun. It just seems like you’re doing, you’re making a sad lunch in the middle of the night. You know, you gotta go, a sandwich is not gonna happen after hours. – Well, but if you had to choose between the two. – PB and J. I don’t like bologna. – I’ve eaten, boy if I could do the math on this, definitely 5,000 bologna sandwiches in my life. Because ate one almost every day, almost every day for lunch for most of my school. – You ever eat one in the evening? – Well, I discovered, what I discovered one time is I know a lot people like fried bologna sandwiches and that’s not what I’m talking about. I just put bologna, my mom, would put bologna, American cheese and mustard onto white bread and that was a sandwich and I loved it. – That was a sandwich. – But then I, then I discovered you could put a single piece of bologna in the microwave. Have you seen what happens to one of those? Have you seen what happens- – [Stevie] Does it crisp, crisp up? – It goes, the middle part comes up and then it goes down and the edges come up. I just love watching that. – Like a lava lamp. – [Stevie] Do you boys eat in the middle of the night like Link’s kids? – Yeah, but they don’t make themselves, they don’t make themselves meals because they don’t, I don’t know if they know how to. They just sort of like scrounge around and the Jessie will come down. In fact, just the other day she was like looks like Shepherd came here in the middle of the night. It was like, it was like looks like we were robbed again, you know. – Yeah, every morning, every morning I look over the summer when they weren’t in school, it’s like get up every morning and try to decipher what it is they made. Because they wouldn’t clean it up. – [Stevie] I mean, let’s be clear. When you say that they’re cooking meals, you did say that Lincoln takes a tortilla, puts Snickers in it and puts it in the microwave. – For Link, that’s definitely cooking and that’s more advanced than what my kids are doing. – I feel evasive. – In fact, I feel like I need to tell them about this. Of course I don’t really trust my kids with turning on the stove top. – Lando makes the most, Lando will make paninis, he’ll make salads, like he’s the one who’s now actually into making things. – He makes a salad for himself? – He makes like a buffalo chicken salad for everyone for dinner, that’s one of his things.
