Welcome to Good Mythical More! The wheels further over there today. You pushed it a little bit. Cause I was so excited that I won the Yeah like that. shuffle board game. It’s quite a game. You’re gonna have to eat that. Then we’re both going to spend the majority of our lives on this show using rubber bands. I doubt that. That’s a lot of time that would take. To create a fissure in these meats. We’re gonna bust meats. Let’s bust this sausage. But first, random disturbing fact. You probably have eyelash mites. Yeah, I felt like, I felt like they told us this. That’s wild though. When we were kids. I mean, you’d think you would see ’em. Each mite has four pairs of legs that make it easy to grip tube shaped things like your lashes. They are normal and usually harmless. Unless you have too many of ’em. Well, how do you? What do you do about that? You can’t see ’em with your naked eye? Let me see, I bet you can see ’em. You can’t see ’em. Oh, there they are. Just wrapped right around your eyelashes. Are you hungry? That is, that is a spoonful of head cheese. I would not have eaten so much bacon. Had I known Yeah. that I was gonna lose. Head cheese is literally made from like the head parts of like. Why is it so big y’all? An animal. Why did y’all make it so big? Cause it’s a punishment. Yep. Glad I didn’t lose. Bacon’s so old. 1500. 1500 years before the common era. What are you trying to do? Eat it. Oh. You’re like chewing it down to a moosh? Wasn’t it almost swallowable anyway? Don’t talk about it like that. Oh, it’s getting so bad. What does it taste like? Is it salty? Is it fatty? It’s making me feel sick. Does it taste like brains? Is there brains in it? Mm hmm. It’s gonna make you smart? Pigs are smart. Five. Four. You want me to. I can’t get it all down man. Two. One. Just get some of it down. I can’t. I don’t wanna, you know the way it works these days on the show. You can’t vomit on the show. Cause then the people won’t. Then YouTube gets mad. You can have a little bit. Uh uh. Uh uh. I swallowed 30 percent of it. Did you? Mm. Uh. Was that enough punishment for a little way? Mm. Mm. Let’s say yes. Uh. Uh. We have a bunch of rubber bands here. A lot of people on. You okay? Yeah! A lot of people on TikTok are getting wise to the fact that you can throw a bunch of rubber bands around a watermelon and then at a certain point it will just explode. That was many years ago, way before TikTok existed. That was an internet thing. Which then we caught wind of and we actually did the same thing with a gallon of milk. Which is pretty fun. Pretty fun. Now we’re gonna do it with a sausage. And we’re gonna guess before we go, uh, how many rubber bands. And we’re counting this as one. If you do a double right? Or a triple, whatever it is. Oh, so we’re gonna write down our. Hold on. But a triple. Triples different, different tension. I’d just say to go doubles. Just go doubles. Because triple is more tension. Okay. At a certain point you’re gonna have to go singles. I think. Oh, so it might. Maybe not. I mean do we even have enough? Chase said he tested this. Okay, so with the casing, So I guess we have enough. or without the casing? So with and without. Oh, we’re both doing. With, without casing. I’m gonna say. Um. Would anyone mind if I made an observation? Make an observation. This is the show that’s less buttoned up, right? Yeah. Yet Link, you’ve buttoned up. Yeah. I wanted to give you a new look. Carney. Yeah. What was the thought behind that? I just wanted to give Carney a new look. Just like, just na na. There’s options to my fit. And I wanted him to know that. Thank you for noticing. Thank you. All right. More buttoned up. Less buttoned up. So we’ll reveal those guesses. I’m changing my answer here, because I just look back at this. You look back at what? I look back at this. The skinless version which you’re sticking me with that one. Yeah. Cause you’re too busy talking. Okay, so. So I’m just, you know, I’ll keep count here. What? This is a salami? This is a summer sausage. This is what my grandpa used to get us. Should I be counting? Every Christmas. Who’s counting? I’m counting. I’m counting mine. You count yours. Well, hold on. Can somebody else count? Because I like to talk. No! This is Good Mythical More. We also talk. It’s less buttoned up. It’s less buttoned up. It’s less buttoned up. When we talk. I feel like I can talk and count at the same time. I cannot. Can somebody count for me? Yeah. Just tell us how many you have now. Uh. I’ll just have to start over. Well, somebody count mine too. Zero. Who’s counting mine? I’ll count some of Link’s. [Cotton Candy Randy] We’re starting now. Okay. Thanks guys. No, so that’s, I’ve done seven. One. Who’s counting mine? Somebody counting mine. Two. Yes. Okay, so this is eight. Three. Four. Now I’m counting. Five. I’m trying to catch up with you. My, yeah, my grandpa, Six. Grandpa McLaughlin. He would give us summer sausage. Every winter. All right, now I’m not counting. What are you at? 24. That’s right, that’s right. Let’s see. I’m gonna push these together cause I don’t I don’t want this to. I mean, it is kind of like a holiday festive thing. Old people, they love to get a thing of sausage that they can just like cut and put with some cheese and some crackers. Is it an old people thing? But you got into it as a young person? Oh yeah. I loved it. I’ve always loved processed meat way too much for my own doing good. But I wouldn’t call you an old soul. But when it comes to food, were you an old soul? Meaning I liked everything? I’ve always liked most things, which I guess. Is it an old person food? I thought it was just like a As gift. Like it comes in a gift basket food? But isn’t it the type of gift basket? I only saw old people passing back and forth. I think our gift baskets were very limited prior to where we are now. Like prior to the internet you mean? Yeah. Oh, mine’s starting to cinch. Um. Yeah. I feel like this is. What’s the best gift basket you’ve ever gotten? Cause there’s a lot of gift basket options now out there on the internet. You talking about all types of berries dipped in all types of things. That’s obvious. I’ll be honest with ya. I still like old sausage and cheese. I mean, it’s like, you know. I take that summer sausage, get a good knife, cut it up put it on a cracker with some cheese. Woo. Get a good knife? You gotta, yeah, you gotta get a knife that can cut. Oh, mine already busted. I wasn’t even expecting that. Okay. Because my guess was a lot more than that. So you guys kept up with how many he put on there. Yep. Okay. All right. Do you wanna know that? No, because we’ll show you our guesses. I’m just having so much fun. Let’s see consistency. So now you’re gonna start over. That’s one. Consistency. Consistency. Um. If I had to get This is. a basket right now that had something in it I’d want it to have cassette tapes. Like is there like a cassette tape gift basket? I don’t know. That would start my collection of cassette tapes which is a problem. I haven’t even, I’ve kind of slowed my roll on my on my vinyl collection. Should I move to the cassette collection? That would be a cool one. Or like um. Doesn’t mean it’s smaller. Well, I guess it’s bigger in one sense. They’re thicker, but they’re. Is there a vintage. Huh. Somehow there’s not really. There’s not a like a used cassette tape basket? In a fake boom box basket? I don’t think that’s in like high demand. There is a gift basket. That’d be cool. The basket itself, the storage basket is a cassette tape design. That’s a little basket. It’s bigger, I assume. Yes. What’s the best gift basket you’ve ever gotten? Stevie? I’m trying to remember. My sister got me. Booze? Yeah, like a cocktail kit. Like a monthly, you know. But is that really, is that a gift? Are monthly subscription’s a gift basket now? Yeah, I guess they would, they would have to be. Is it about to pop off like a loaf? I’m pinching off. You’re pinching a loaf? Pinching off the meat loaf. Oh! It’s alive! It really doesn’t take many for those, does it? Mm mm, mm mm. I thought they would be a lot closer. Okay. Oh, yours is. Ooh, the end of that thing is. it’s like a, it’s like a dog. Kind of disturbing. Ooh. It’s like a boy dog. Ooh. Oh. Oh. Ooh. I’m gonna keep going. Keep going man. I’m gonna stop because I’ve done it twice. I made a I made a meaty rubber band ball here. Is this? Can I eat this? Yeah. Is it raw? All right, I’m having to go. No, it’s not raw. You can eat it. I feel like I’m gonna have to. Well. It looks raw. I’m almost having to go triple. Does salami? Salami looks raw? Summer sausage. Summer sausage. Um. While he’s waiting for that to happen I want to encourage you. Encourage me. You might just wait. Just just wait a second. It’s about to pinch off. Check out, A Hotdog Is A Sandwich. The podcast with Josh and Nicole. They debated breakfast burritos versus breakfast tacos. Live from Mythic Con. But you can listen to it anyway you get your podcasts. I feel like I’m gonna have to go triples because it’s not squeezing tight enough cause it’s gotten small. Oop. Is this part here? I just. It just was like a lollipop all of a sudden. This is not pleasant to look at. That’s. Move your hand down a little bit more so they can see. Yeah. How much it’s been smooshed. See, I think you should put it. You’re really concentrating right here. And you’re just trying to like. I think this is how bulls are castrated. Look at how much of it’s coming out here. That’s what’s happening. You realize, right? Like a dog. It’s creeping out of the end of it. It’s becoming this again. Is it moving ever so slowly? Can you see the meat travel out of its casing? I don’t know if it is or not. It is, dude. There’s no way that much was exposed. Yeah, but it’s like watching a plant grow. You know. We need to do a time lapse on this. Oh. Is it moving? Emily and Chase have requested that you give it a little wiggle. Oh, stop. Now stop. This is fascinating. That casing is really doing a good job. Look at how much is, it’s just barely holding on. If you ever wondered if casing kept your sausage together. This is the case for casing. Right. Oh. Oh. Hold it upside down. Is it coming out? Is it moving? Like, I think it’s, if I were just to. Don’t. Let me put a knot on it. Go triple. It’s like a, it’s like. Ooh! Aw man! Did I freaking spoil it? No. Okay. So. Did I spoil it guys? How many. Look at that. So we’ve written our answers down ahead of time. How many did it take Links? Twenty-four. Okay. How many did it take mine? Fifty-four. Oh, okay. I said. Let me go first. I said it would take sixty-three with and forty-seven without. So fifty-four for sixty-three. That’s pretty dang good. It’s pretty dang good. That’s definitely a lot better than me. I mean I was in this for the long haul, 270 and 140. You wanna take a, just take take a bite of one of these sausages just like an apple. See what it was like to be a child like me. I took a nibble of the summer sausage and it’s the wrong time of year. Yep. Yeah. It definitely is to be enjoyed for summertime. What? Is this even edible? You can. It is. You could take that casing and reuse it. In small amounts this is edible. This is dozens. For a number of things. I would not want to eat that. Well, you don’t think about it. Actually, what I would do as a youngster. I’d get a good knife and I’d cut it and then I’d just peel the casing off and then put the the disc of sausage on a cracker. Maybe sometimes a Triscuit. You know, I usually didn’t go for Triscuits but if you gave me a little summer sausage I’d eat a lot of Triscuit. That’s your cracker of choice for a summer sausage? Well, really a Ritz is the best. But I don’t know. There’s something about it made Triscuit redeemable when you put summer sausage on it. Kg, how long was my second one? Was it. It was fifteen. And the first one was twenty-four? Okay, so there’s a lot of variability but I’m still nowhere close to 140. I mean these are the type of things you learn in Good Mythical More. Right. So if you, I mean if you’re gonna be pinching a sausage later on today. How many rubber bands do you need to pinch a sausage Yeah. in half without ever actually touching it. If you bring a hundred rubber bands outside you could pinch two sausages. That’s what we learned today. Check out the latest episode of, A Hot Dog Is A Sandwich, recorded live at Mythic Con. They debated California staple breakfast burritos versus Austin Classic breakfast tacos.
