GMMore 1972: Freeze Dried Breakfast Taste Test

(rooster crowing) (lion roaring) (dramatic whooshing) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re doing a taste test of some freeze dried, I call these camping food, but they’re all breakfasts. – But first, we’re playing, Who You Talkin’ About? We read a comment that you made and guess who it was about. This one’s from Blake Langley, who says blank looks like an inmate who makes friendship bracelets and sells them for smiles. – So, someone currently incarcerated who is making friendship bracelets in prison? – Originally, I was gonna say you, but I don’t know if you look like that you might spend some time behind bars. I felt like maybe I could spend time behind bars. – Yeah, the beard kinda sends you into. – And then I feel like, maybe I’ve got like, hey, hippie guy in prison making friendship bracelets? – It’s gotta be Rhett, right? – Okay. – [Both] Yes. – Rhett looks like an inmate. There he is. – [Rhett] Oh, it’s because I had on my orange- – [Link] Corduroy shirt. Corduroy shirt. – Which is prison issued, by the way. No, it’s not! – Yeah, you can definitely weave a main friendship bracelet. – Well, here’s what I’ll say. – Sell them for something in jail. – Here’s what I’ll commit to. – I don’t know what. – If I ever have to spend any time behind bars, I’m gonna make it my mission to make as many friends as possible through the power of bracelets. – So we have Wild Zora Paleo Breakfast. Mountain House. You’re a fan of Mountain House. – It is the most popular- – [Link] You like the bold logo. – [Rhett] Brand. – Biscuits and gravy. We’ve got hot cinnamon apple oats and quinoa cereal from Backpacker’s Pantry. – [Rhett] Backpacker’s Pantry? – From Harchi. Got a hundred percent freeze dried food. – Is that Harchi? – Omelet with onion and vegetable mix. Harchi. Omelet with onion and vegetable mix. And then finally, Breakfast Skillet Premium, it says. – Where’s that from? What brand is that? – Peak. – I did quite a lot of research before I went on my solo trip and I ended up going with a lot of Mountain House because it’s got a whole lot of sodium in it, typically. Like, okay, yes, look, this whole container has 75% of your sodium for the day. – You use more salt when you’re out there in the wild. – It just consistently, it tastes pretty good. But I don’t know if I had any of these other brands. – Now, Maisie, are you on, Maisie? Because I want you to kind of give us a context for kneeling in grits as a punishment. – [Maisie] Yeah, it’s an old timey punishment. Old timey punishment. – Is it tiny, too? – [Maisie] It’s tiny. The kernels are tiny. Kneeling on rice is what I’ve heard of. And yeah, you’d see this in Catholic schools or in households of another era. But some boys kneel on grits. – Oh, I can barely pull my jeans up. – What’d you get on your jeans there? – That’s, I don’t know. I don’t know what that is. – Is it from today? – Yeah. So I’m gonna- – So this is the southern version. – Oh, oh! Oh, oh! – So, it hurts? – Yeah. – You feel like you’ve been a bad boy? – Yeah, I feel like I’ve been a bad Catholic boy. – Oh, gosh. – I must confess. Oh, oh. yeah. Have you ever had to do this? – Well, you seem like you kind of- – Maisie? – Sort of enjoying it. – [Maisie] No. Thank the Lord. – There was a little pleasure mixed with pain there. It sounded like you were like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! It’s kind of what you did. – I try to turn pain into pleasure as much as I can. – If you lift your knees, are you gonna have grits knees? – Definitely. – Look, we got a grit knee. – That hurts. That hurts. Grit knee Spears. That’s what they called me when I auditioned for Britney’s band. Oh, a backing band. – Well, it’s appropriate because when Britney came out, first came out, she did the Catholic school girl thing. – Really, though? Is that what she was in? – That was like, wasn’t it like a Catholic school girl? Yeah, it was. I mean, I don’t wanna keep talking about it for extended period of time. I’m just, yeah. Baby, one more time. That’s right. And if you look closely in the video, a lot of people don’t know this, but when they remastered the Britney Spears video in 4K, if you look closely at her knee, you saw a couple of grits there. Fun fact. – We’re gonna start with this. – I learned that on a pop-up, what was that? – Pop-up Video. – Pop-up Video. – Okay, this stuff looks promising. It’s kind of like a, what’s in it? An oatmeal? – It’s paleo. – Pretty good. It’d be really good if I was out in the wild. – Everything is better when you’re outside. – Yeah, and you’re really happy to be eating stuff out of a container like this because it’s so easy to prep. – Now, it says added sugar with an exclamation point, which makes me think that it says no added sugar and we ripped the no off. I don’t know. Ask Britney about that. – That’s pretty good. So we’ll put that in the number one slot. I’m actually breathing heavy. – You still in the grits? – Yeah and I’m experiencing constant pain. – Okay, so this is- – Constant Catholic pain. – Biscuits and gravy. – Oh, my gosh. This can’t be good for you. That’s why it’s got 70% of your sodium intake. – Sodium’s good for you, especially when you’re out running from pumas and stuff. – Running from pumas? Hold on, puma. I need to eat my biscuits and gravy before I run from you. It’s a little negotiation that happens sometimes. – Right before I went on my trip last year. – That’s good. – I happened to make the mistake of watching a YouTube video. You watched it with me. – Pumas gone wild? – The mountain lion that was tracking the guy who was walking backwards and filming it for like- – Yeah. – 15 minutes, this mountain lion aggressively stalking this guy down a trail. – Well, that’s because- – And he was just backing up and it would get closer. – [Stevie] He goes in and out of trying to be aggressive and then trying to be nice because he’s like, nothing’s working. He’s like- (yelling) And then he’s like- (whimpering) – It terrified me and I was like, I’m gonna go on some solo hikes. And so I ended up buying bear spray. – Huh? – Because bear spray works on bears and it also works on mountain lions. And I literally had a belt that had a holster. – You’re like freaking Batman out there. – That you put bear spray in. And then it was during all those fires and so I couldn’t go on any hikes into those places, anyway, where there were bears and so I never got the holster off, but you know, you can’t get bear spray shipped to you, at least in the state of California. – You got to make it yourself? – Yeah, they send you a recipe and you gotta do some mixing in your garage. No, you have to go to a store and pick it up, but they can’t ship you bear spray. – [Stevie] I saw a bobcat in my backyard the other day and we made eye contact. – I thought you were gonna say we made out. – [Stevie] Yeah, we made out. – They are cute. – [Stevie] The end. No, what? – They got some long legs. don’t they? Bobcats are taller than you think they’d be. – [Stevie] Yeah and also, when it’s like, 10, 15 feet away from you, it’s not great. – How did it respond to you? – I honestly didn’t see it at first. Ringo saw something and I looked in to see what Ringo was looking at and it was frozen and then we made eye contact and then it started walking to the opposite side of my house. So then I went through my house to try and chase it to try and get a photo of it. But a rerun of Shark Tank was on and when I was going by the TV, I saw that I knew the person that was on Shark Tank, and then I had to make a decision. Do I go after the bobcat or do I stay and watch Shark Tank? So I only got the butt part of the person on Shark Tank. No, I’m just kidding. Of the bobcat. – You got distracted by Shark Tank, which happens to the best of us. – [Stevie] Yeah. – I’ve never known anybody on Shark Tank. – Can you talk about who you knew from Shark Tank? – [Stevie] I cannot. – (laughing) I most definitely cannot. That’s a teaser. – All right, this is good. – [Stevie] But after we cut- – You like the sweet ones. – [Stevie] You’ll like this. – Yeah, this is nice. – This is not as good as Zora. Wild Zora is better. I actually think that the Mountain House is, I don’t know. I didn’t really like that one, that quinoa stuff, man. – Oh, you didn’t like it? I like cereal-based things. This is, oh, smell that. – Got some peas in there? – Doesn’t smell great. – Yeah, you said it like it was gonna be good and then when I smelled it and I was like, I don’t think that’s good. What’s the name of this brand again? It’s got a kidney bean up in there. – Look at that and it’s like peas and beans and green beans and carrots. (Rhett retching) Harchi. Hot food wherever you are. – Was that eggs? What is that? – Yeah, the base is an egg, but it might be a plant-based egg. – I think it is. – Freeze dried, no. Freeze dried omelet, milk, chicken, eggs, butter and salt. Man, y’all made a real egg taste like a vegan egg. – There’s not, I can’t. I’m kneeling. I can’t move. – Oh, it’s made in Ukraine. – Come on, help me out here. Thank you. I gotta throw that away. – That is definitively awful. – Yeah, that’s not good. – But you know what? – This might be good. – Maybe if we were outside, it would taste somewhat. – I can’t kneel anymore, guys. It’s too painful. And once you like, I mean. – I had kind of forgotten you were doing that. – If I was Catholic, I wouldn’t be anymore. – It would all come down to the grits for you? – You only make a Neal kneel once, you know? I must confess. – Before we break into that last one. – Oh, and this is promising. – I wanna remind you that we premiered a brand new series on the Mythical Society featuring us. It’s called, Let’s Talk About. Let’s Dream About That. – No, not talk about that. – Got you. Let’s Dream About That. Basically, this is a meditative, surreal guide that takes you, all of us listening together, into a dream state, okay? We don’t know if anybody’s ever done anything like this very specifically before. It gets weird, okay? But you really just need to listen to it to understand what we’re talking about. – Meet your other Mythical beast friends in the dream world. I think that could happen. – Yeah, I believe in that. – Available for second and third degree Mythical Society members. Check it out. Now, this looks promising, but then, freeze dried eggs are a bit scary. – But this has some meat in it. And some potatoes. – It’s not bad. – This is moving. – You don’t like the biscuits and gravy? – Well, maybe that. These are pretty close. – But this Peak stuff is not bad at all. So yeah, we’re saying a distant. – Not even in the same ballpark. – A distant last and then this here. – But Zora. – Let me go back to that and make sure it’s right. – You’re so wild, Zora. She’s wilder than I anticipated. – 10 grams of protein in this thing, too. Yeah, Zora don’t play. – It’s still good, man. – Is that some sort of a- – It’s so sweet. – What is this? Is that edible? – I believe that might just be a coconut strip. Yeah, I got one of those in here. – Okay, yeah. It just looked like a label. – It’s a shredded coconut or a coconut chip. – It looks like a fortune cookie. – It looks like one of those do not eat things. – I mean the fortune. – One of those things it’s supposed to keep it dry. – Yeah, I know. – That you accidentally left in there. – See, look. – It’s not, though. It’s edible. And there’s Zora. – Herself. – On the back. She’s the founder. – Look at her. – She actually doesn’t look that wild. She looks pretty normal. – Pretty tame. Zora, keeping it tame. I bet you if you get out there in the woods with her, she’s unpredictable. – She’s wild. She gets wild in the kitchen. – She is unpredictable, man. – Give that woman a pouch, an open pouch. – Wild Zora goes at it. – A freeze dry machine and a bunch of fruits. – Yeah, yeah. – You better watch out. – She be paleo in that porridge. It’s time to embark on a collective dream journey with us. – [Rhett] Begin by lying down in a comfortable position of slumber. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
