Welcome to Good Mythical More. Today we’re gonna solve the age-old debate: “One bite or two?” Yeah. That is an age old debate. But first, let’s give $1,000 to Save The Children to aid in their mission to ensure their three global goals are met: No child should die from preventable causes, all children should have access to a quality basic education, and no child should be a victim of violence. Please join us in giving to the great work that’s being done at Save The Children at savethechildren.org/donate. savethechildren.org/donate. So, I’m told that many members of the Mythical crew have been surveyed about the things that we are going to taste today. I guess starting with these tater tots. You have been told correctly. To decide if these are one bite or two. Well, yeah. This originated from when Gwynedd was on from Sporked, and you guys were tasting tater tots. And I believe Gwynedd was like, “Oh, I take two bites outta my tater tot.” And I think- She started a a web wide controversy? A world wide web. I mean, at least back here we were like, that’s interesting. Might be Gwynedd’s year. So tater tots: one or two bites? Can’t be our year and Gwynedd’s year? I mean- No, it’s- I can see why you would do that. Of course, you- what- I’m just curious, over the course of this entire conversation, are you ever gonna say anything is more than one bite? I think potentially. Interestingly, I have a small mouth, but yet I still eat things in large bites. My- this little mouth does a lot of work. So if you eat one of those, you’re just gonna pop ’em? I’m just gonna do just instinct what I would do. Yeah. Yeah, you did. You did. And my question is, why would you ever do anything different? Well, if you’re Gwynedd- Is there like a gnat in there? I mean, it’s not a french fry. I don’t, I don’t eat a french fry in one bite. Cause it’s long. But this is like, my mouth is big enough, my hand is big enough, I’m not gaining anything. Now, yes, if I was like a disciplined eater who knew when to stop or wanted to make myself eat more slowly, you can make an argument that everything is a two-bite or more. When I look at this- The inventor of a tater tot, Mr. Tot himself- Yeah. Was probably- Tate Tot. Tate Tot was like- Tate R. Tot. “You do this in one bite. It’s a tot.” Yeah. “You pop the tot.” Yeah, yeah. I don’t know why Gwynedd- you would do this. I mean, I think there’s arguments. We’re gonna hear one- Did I do it? from someone who was on the side of the two-bite. But yes. 40 members of the Mythical crew are on the one-bite side. Four are on the two-bite side. One of those members is Aubrey. What’s your reasoning here, Aubrey? You’re joining Gwynedd on the dark side. Yes, absolutely. And it’s not a problem that it doesn’t fit in there, cause I got the cheeks to hold, you know, as many tater tots as possible. Alright. Let’s see how many. You can chipmunk it? What? You can chipmunk it. Yeah, I can chipmunk it. But it’s more of like an homage to the tater tot. Because, like me, like you Link, like you Rhett, what’s on the outside is not as important as what’s on the inside. What do you mean by that? So if you take a bite- Why’d you point me out when you said that? How did I get roped into that? Didn’t your mom teach you that what’s on the inside is important? Well, no. She said “You’re the best looking boy at school.” Okay, well in addition to that- She was lying. She did say that, cause he would come to school and tell me. I’d be like, “Hey, my mom said I’m the best looking boy.” And I believed it cause my mom didn’t tell me that. She told me I was the best looking on the inside. Wait, wait, wait. Rhett, your mom told you you were the best looking boy? No, she didn’t say- No, she wouldn’t say that. She would be like- my mom was very complimentary- She’d be like, “You’re so athletic, and you’re so smart, and you’re so good-looking.” She wouldn’t say you’re the best-looking. You see the problem she caused? She was like- Yeah, she gave me a lot of confidence. I went on to accomplish many things. I’m still, I’m still riding that wave. Still riding that wave. Thank you, mom. Okay so Aubrey, you’re saying to look at the interior? I’m literally choking on a tater tot. Yeah, because it has like, square potatoes in it. So I kind of like to give homage to the tater tot. So I take a bite of it. I like, you know, I eat a little, I eat a couple of those squares. You look at the inside. Yeah, but then you gotta eat a couple of those little squares in there alone. Oh, oh. So you’re, in other words, you’re going back to like the hash brown experience. Yeah, a little bit. And then it’s- then I finish the rest. I gotta say, Aubrey, I’m not persuaded. Those are little- That’s alright. They’re little tater cubes inside. That’s exact- yes! Huh. Alright. You’re wrong. And I was wrong. Well, okay, here’s- here’s my argument for, for a two biter: It feels like there’s more. Well that’s true of everything. Well yeah, but I’m saying like, if you’re sitting down and you’re having a snacking experience, and you can have multiple bites of something versus like larger bites. You’re not gonna get through to ’em. You’re right. But you’re not gonna get through. But here’s the thing, there are some things you can eat, and it’s still there. But you, you take a whole drink of something. And the way you, you’re like, “Ooooo-” it all goes down. What do you mean by “There’s some things you can eat.” Oh, this is a throwback? Here we go. Don’t be stupid. We’re talking about tater tots. Marshmallows. No, we’re talking about marshmallows now. ‘cuse me. ‘cuse me. ‘cuse me. ‘cuse me. Is that a pool- It’s just a pool term. ‘cuse me of something. I still have a, I have part of a tater here, and if I don’t try to cough it up and out, I’m gonna choke. I could probably get it out with my finger. Is it from taking two bites? Yeah. Right. If you had to just eaten that tater tot together. Oh, you’d’ve seen it. It would’ve never happened. The gnat got in your throat. Cause I tried to drink stuff to get it to go down, but it was already past the- Oh. You can’t, the drink won’t touch that part. Right. It was already past the drink. Now it’s gotta go into the lung and be asphyxiated. No, I think I brought it up out of the lung and now I’m gonna send it down the eat pipe. Yeah. Yeah. Out one way- Out the breathe pipe down the eat pipe. It’s like when you go the wrong way down a one way street. Now, I don’t, I don’t eat these alone. You always eat ’em in groups. Always eat them with the chocolate and the graham cracker. I have been known to eat these alone, both- in both senses of the word. But I will say that this is how I’m gonna do it instinctively. Oh, you bit it in half. Yeah. Cause there’s something really satisfying about biting a marshmallow in half that you don’t get when you eat the whole thing. Huh. And it’s very springy. And you get it again. You get it again. I think marshmallows, unless it’s the minis of course, two-bite food in my book. But if you put that whole thing in your mouth, don’t you get the same satisfaction? I mean, I can definitely do it. I mean, I’m not gonna do it. Not as satisfying. Not as satisfying. Well of course I’m a two-bite guy. but I’m actually a zero-bite guy for this thing. My life has not made any better by these. Is it because there’s like horse hoof in them? That’s what it is. Yeah. Okay, so more people were compelled to vote for marshmallows and 40 people thought two bites, and 10 thought one bite. So, yeah. Most people thought two bites. Do we have any one biters present? Interesting. I don’t believe so. We shunned- Mean I- Listen, I agree with you in spirit. And here we go: Totino’s Pizza Rolls. Heat has to be a factor here. Now these have been cooled down. You wanna grab one? They’re room temperature? So, you gotta assume that these, that they’re normally hotter than what we’re doing here. You know, it’s, I, so I’m, I’m assuming that they’re piping hot and I, you just have to bite it in half slowly like- No, see that’s not a factor for me. I’m not scared of hot foods. Like that. Because I have been burned by hot foods. But usually it’s kinda like, okay, that’ll heal quickly. But when you biting a half, doesn’t stuff normally ooze out of it. Yeah, I do think, I think that’s a fine argument, but I actually think there’s an additional reason why this is a two bite food. And I think it’s because it’s a rectangle and not a square. I think, again, I think the manufacturer is like, “Let’s not make squares.” Oh really? Let’s make it in a rectangle, so you can hold it. But a tater tot is a- is a cylinder, which is rectangular kind of idea. Smaller. It’s smaller. So we’re both two-biter on this one. Okay. Yeah. So the majority of the crew was a two-biter. I must say, the reenactment, Link, was on point for if it was hot. Well, I gotta tell you- it was pretty good. What I did was not accurate. Oh really? Why? Yeah. You take even more time? You wanna try it again? Yeah. I mean it’s more like. Yeah. You eat hot foods, like you’re tasting something for the king. It falls out. That’s what normally happens. Cause I’m like, I put it in there, I’m like- and it just, you know, and then I blow on it and then I eat it. I do eat it. So what was the verdict on this? So it’s 35 people: two-bite, to 11 people: one-bite. But we did have a rogue three-biter. And that rogue three-biter was KG. I don’t even know- How do you. How would you even three bite this? So I bite the corners off. Doesn’t matter if it’s the top or the bottom, The thing is, I have like 10 on a plate. So I’ll do the first one and do it to every single one. Like that? So by the time I get back to the first one, it’s cooled down and then I take a bite. She’s letting heat out of the corners. Yeah. But then it’s also fun cause I’m a child, so you can blow into the corners and they kind of inflate like a balloon. Oh wait, do I eat this corner second or this corner? It’s the top like short. Just one corner on each. Like 1, 2, down. Go through the rest of ’em and hit the corners. And then- Like that? I do little tiny nibbles. Oh, wait, you would, you’re a two-corner-full-bite or you’re- Like that. single-corner-two bites? That’s two bites right there. You release the heat and you come back and you pop the whole thing. So there’s two holes. Yeah. This is sound. Huh. Why don’t you do one corner, two bites? Wait, what? One, two bites. Yeah, just release one corner. Because, cause just the two bites lets more steam come out. It lets twice the steam out. And maybe the heat comes out here and the cool goes in here. You gotta create a vent. It’s a circulation. Yeah. By the time you get to the bite, the rest of ’em gets back to the first one. It’s cooled down. You can just pop it in your mouth. Oh yeah. Yep. Well you know what? All these are cool if you want some of ’em. Yeah. Yeah. He got those ready- He got those ready for you. What are we going with next? Is this cheese and crackers together? Yeah. Or cheese and then crackers? Okay. Cheese and crackers together. Boy, this is a great thing. So I just, I would just do this. I wouldn’t put another cracker. Oh yeah, definitely. All right. I got, I do this on a, well, not as much as I used to, but in my younger days, obviously I made a cheese disc and I, I love doing this. Just late at night and sometimes on the weekend if we’ve got Ritz crackers, cause Jessie’ll get ’em for Shepherd. And if you’ve been a good boy. If I’ve been a good boy all week, I can be a bad boy on Saturday night. Okay. Nobody’s watching. I’m gonna do what I would do if I did this, which I don’t ever. Okay. There’s a- there’s a compelling reason to do it the way that I’m gonna do it, but I’ll see if you can figure it out. Okay. Okay. Well I wasn’t expecting that. The only thing I agree with is the fact that you, you ate it in one bite. The reason that this is- but you flipped it Did you see the flip? I don’t believe in flipping cheese down. Cheese down. Because I want, I actually want this down, because I wanna begin to moisten the cracker. Let’s see. What do you mean begin to moisten the- Why are you acting like that was like- you just took the thing you put it in your mouth. Is something about to happen next? Yeah. An explanation of why I do that. Let’s hear it. You can’t be biting a cracker and cheese halfway. No. You creating all kinds of mess. It crumbles too much. Okay. But why did you go like this? I completely agree with you. And I think Link’s technique is advanced, because the cheese is- you wanna taste the cheese. But the crazy thing is, 39 Mythical crew members thought two bites. Well they didn’t have ’em in front of ’em. and 10 thought one bite. No y’all. They didn’t have ’em in front of ’em. Let’s just demonstrate. Just, I mean- just watch. You come in here and you think this is gonna work. Do it right now. Don’t do it for comedy. Oh, see? Look- look at that. Who’s gonna get that? The dog? Yes. I’m not eating off the ground. So the dogs love it when you do it wrongly. That’s what you guys have done. Yeah. That goes with this. And that is a one-biter. We agree on that. Now this right here. Okay. Reese’s Miniature Cups. Miniature Cups specifically. This is not the regulars. Nope. Now I know what I do here. I bite it in half. Okay, well give us your reason. Oo, these are bad. Cause they pack such a flavorful power. I can’t take a whole one. It’s too much. You can’t take a whole one. Yeah, it’s too much man. Like if you put, oh sorry. Watch out. Watch out. Pizza- I’m having trouble. Your pizza elbow. I have this pizza suit on. I mean definitely with a big Reese cup, I nibble around the whole edge. Cause something about the edge, the edge of it. It’s real strong. It’s like structurally strong, and it’s like nice to kind of peel that off. And then you got this disc in the middle, and I bite that in half still. Well, this is why I disagree with you. Why make this- It’s a little powdery. Why even have this as a product? Yeah. If you’re not supposed to eat it in one bite. I don’t eat the regular ones in one bite. I mean, sometimes maybe on Halloween, if I got a lot to get through. It’s savor. It’s savor time man. I think it’s just “eat another one time”. I’m probably in the minority here. Right? I’ll reveal that in a moment. Oh, MythiCon. Course, if you can’t make it, we want to share with you a special part of it. So our live show that we’ve developed, our stage show, it’s gonna be unlike anything we’ve ever done. Anything you’ve ever seen. And you know what, not everybody can be there.

Alright. Okay, so you’re right. You were- you were in the minority. 38 crew members are in one-bite, and 14 in two bites. I agree with you though, but I think it’s back to my savoring- 14 is a lot. It’s my savoring argument. I guess I think the point with that is, that can be applied, and maybe should be applied to all foods, right? But I’m just kind of going on like, the American way here. Like they made ’em- they made ’em to be eaten in this way. You’re supposed to eat too much. You’re supposed to get full before you realize that you’re full. This isn’t- none of this is healthy. But I’m just saying, the manufacturers made this stuff so you’d pop it in in one bite. Whether it’s right or wrong. The American Way. Now this one here, how is this a question? Well, okay. I’m gonna go out on a limb, and I’m gonna make the argument that I think some of you two biters are gonna make on this. Cause it can be relatively fun to do this. And then you get a little peanut. Oh I bit half of the peanut. You have to go easy. You can’t be aggressive biter. Look, there’s a hole in the middle of my peanut. And then you go like this, you pull this out. Oh. Just the peanut clean. What? Second bite. What? And then you got this. Second bite. Third bite. 1, 2, 3. I’ll do that sometimes, but I’m just doing it for fun. I thought you would, I mean, how many do you normally eat in one bite? Cause it’s probably more than one. So, I actually- I will only eat one. I- Well thanks for letting me answer. No, I just said- my answer is easy. So I’m just gonna say I only eat one. So I regularly eat these, because this is Shepherd’s movie theater snack of choice. Okay. And I go to the movies with Shepherd all the time. And he’s always like, Dad, why don’t we get that AMC fast pass so we can get in the gold line. And I’m like- Not a sponsor. Man, I keep forgetting about it. I’m thinking about it right now and I never do it. Do you remember when M&M’s was a sponsor? Because one of the things we were not allowed to do was to consume more than one M&M at a time. Hands full, yeah. Well, because I’m at a movie, and because they’re Shepherd’s, and because I’m trying to not eat too many at the movie, I do one at a time, and I do ’em like this. Put ’em in. And I suck on it. You try to, you always- So now you go into savor mode. How many sucks? It depends on the genre of movie I’m watching. With Shepherd. But in a normal occasion, like if you had these here and they, it was, they were all gonna be eaten by you so you didn’t have to worry about touching them. How many would you grab and eat at once? Just still in one? I think you would eat three to four. First of all, what I just did, approximately 20 seconds of sucking and the candy shell begins to collapse and then you bite it. That’s an unparalleled experience. That’s much better than the three step thing I did. I’m a one bite man on this. But to answer your question about how many I would put in my mouth, I go one at a time, and then I start getting a little impatient, and then I’ll go two, and then I’ll go three. But I never do more than three. You never go box pour? Maybe at the very end. So what- I mean. Okay, so yeah. Most people said one bite. People, a lot of people, wanted to vote for this one. 43 went for one bite, 6 for two bites. And you better believe one of those two-biters was Gwynedd. Are you actually a three-biter? No, I’m a two-biter. Okay. Yeah. I loved what you did. You loved my demonstration. You’re welcome. But it’s the right idea in like, yes, you are bisecting it with your teeth, but doing it gently, so just the hat comes off. Then you have chocolate and shell. That experience- Just the hat. by itself is an M&M. So you’re having first bite, and you’re just having an M&M and that’s like- This is a solid argument. That’s fun. I have a hat in my mouth. And then the second part, you have, I think, the perfect ratio of peanut, chocolate, shell. Whoa! So that second bite is perfect peanut M&M. I perfected the peanut M&M for M&M, and I’m not even like asking for anything. I just want people to hear me out. Well that’s asking for something. You’ve, you’ve been hurt. Right. And you know what? You gotta be forward with it. You’re being heard! But they’re not better than the peanut butter M&M, I’m sorry, in the red pack. And finally of course we’ve got a strawberry. Okay, well hold on now I don’t wanna- Now something has been done to these strawberries that ruins my particular approach. The green thing is gone. Well. So what I like to do, and again, I started doing this probably five years ago, is you grab the greeny, and you just bite the whole thing. So you eat the stem with it. But you don’t eat the leaves. But you eat the stem. I, yeah, I’ve started doing that. Cause this whole biting a strawberry, and leaving the top part and then throwing it away. If it’s ripe all the way- You put it all in your mouth, there’s nothing to it. So I think strawberries are definitely a one-bite food. Unless it’s a giant one that’s got some sort of like, disease. Yeah, those are weird. Bahhh 1, 1. 1, 1, 1. Bahhh- I don’t know why I started saying bahhh. Bahhh 1. Surprisingly, the Mythical crew feels, by a large margin, that they are two bite foods. I think most people, I think it is- Again, this has been a recent shift as I’ve matured. I didn’t always do this, you know. I am older than all of you, I think. And you will soon learn that this is the superior way. It’s just gonna take you a while to get there. And then when you get there you’ll be like “Oh, you know what?” Cause it makes a per- it’s like nature’s handle, right? And then you just toss- You just throw that away. And in fact, if you plant the little leaves in your yard, it’ll grow on new strawberry tree. Get your ticket to see us perform live at mythicontickets.com.
