Welcome to Good Mythical More. We ask you to tell us what dishes do you make incorrectly that makes them better? So not following the instructions. Yes. Pitching those. I’m excited about this. So we’re gonna try all of this stuff and we’ll tell you if you’re right. But first, let’s play “What’s the Word?” where we try to guess the definition of a word. Yes. What’s the word? Erinaceous? Erinaceous. Erinaceous. Erinaceous. Yes. Erinaceous. Erinaceous. Erinaceous. Well, what is? It’s like, when you say, “That is so Erin.” You know, your friend Erin. That’s an erinaceous thing to do. Yes. Something only Erin, my friend Erin would do. Oh yes. I don’t know what, I don’t know what an Erin is. besides a name, so. Erin, I’m just trying to think of other words that have Erin, E R I N, in them, like erinaphobia? No. Erinalia. Erin. My guess is “That’s So Erin.” It’s a spinoff to “That’s So Raven.” Right. It what “That’s So Raven” almost got called until they cast Raven. Let’s see it. “Of or relating to hedgehogs.” So I guess Erin is a hedgehog. I bet you somebody out there has got, some biologist. Or Erina. Has a hedgehog named Erin. He’s like, “Well, lemme me tell you why.” Interesting. It’s, you know, that’s quite an erinaceous haircut you’ve got there, lady. Oh, I know what you’re talking about. The hedgehog cut? Yeah. Every southern woman over 50 got in North Carolina. It’s like it short. In the late ’90s. Short in the front and then it’s like. Did your mom ever get one of those? Spiky back there. Yeah, yeah. All spiky in the back. They were calling it funky. Funky. I got a funky cut. Funky. I got funky cut. ♪ I’m gonna take my funky cut to the Piggly Wiggly. ♪ Harris Teeter. Yes, if you’re a little upscale. Okay, this first hack I have, I have heard of before and I think that you’re, you are gonna quite enjoy it. The Uncrustables. Uncrustables right outta the freezer. The bread quality is poor as a result but the solid peanut butter combined with the still jelly-like jelly just hits different. @MrWorkrate. Work, work, WorkRate? WorkRate. Great quality. Solid peanut butter combined with the still jelly-like jelly. What do you mean still jelly-like jelly? Like semi-frozen jelly? Yeah, yeah. More jelly-like. Is it, why? Is the consistency not? I would think the peanut butter would be harder than the jelly. The peanut butter is a disc. It is good. And the jelly is very cold. Nothing is soft. We seem sad? Yeah. I’m just thinking about it. Forlorn. Oh no, no, don’t apologize. This is my, this is my thoughtful face. Oh. If I was to work in a lab and I had to make decisions, you’d come in and you’d be like, “Why is the scientist so sad?” This is my thoughtful face. It’s like, “He’s just thinking deeply.” It tastes good. It’s better. Oh, he said it! Because, yeah. You’re right about the bread, but. I don’t, listen. I love that little smushed bread edge. You thought it was just? Yeah, well, ’cause my copy says @MrWorkrate, I was like. Tom is his name. Where did he get Tom from? Listen, Tom. You’re right. You’ve made a good choice here. A regular Uncrustable is still really good, though. So, I had to have ’em side by side to know if you were truly right, but you are right. These are good. My favorite part of an Uncrustable is that little edge of hard smushed bread. It’s kind of the crust of the Uncrustable, if you will. Yeah. Yeah, they couldn’t get away with it. If you don’t have a crust at all, you don’t, you won’t seal ’em. Okay, “cooking my pizza Lunchables in the microwave,” @emmyswrldd. This sounds interesting. Okay. Emmy. Emmy’s World. Cooking. Cooking my pizza Linchables. This has got to be relatively common. ‘Cause when you eat it otherwise, it’s begging to be cooked. Oh man. The flavor on the sauce is intense. I have a problem with this because now I’m comparing it to real pizza. That is a problem. And that ain’t gonna work. So when it’s a little warm. It’s an uncanny valley. It’s an uncanny pizza valley, guys. I’m sorry, but I might be, I might be going a little forlorn over this. Yeah, you’re you’re not thoughtful anymore. You’re just absolutely sad. Yeah, and I mean, this makes us think of real pizza that would be so much better. This isn’t as good. So in your world, Emmy’s world, you’re wrong. You live in a world that is wrong. We forgot to tell people that you would tell them if they were wrong or not. And that’s why they’re submitting. I’m glad we got so many submissions. Don’t cook your pizza Lunchable, girl. Just order a pizza. Great idea. You’ve made me forlorn. Let’s bring it back with something else. Don’t toast a toaster strudel all the way. Do it just long enough for the outside to get warm and flaky but have the fillings still be semi frozen. Hands down the best way to eat one of those pockets of goodness. @Mbabz19. You like stuff that’s not fully cooked. Throw it up there, Zach, All right, Mike Babin, Mbabz19. So he’s saying put it on the toaster. But don’t toast it all the way. Now here’s what I do. I’m on record saying this. I put my toaster strudel in the microwave for 10 seconds. 10? And what that does is it makes the filling hot. Yeah. And then, ’cause I like a lightly toasted strudel, Same as Mike, but I don’t like the semi frozen filling in the middle. Yeah, that feels like a miss. Sounds like the opposite of what he said. No, no he likes a light toasting. But he also enjoys the undercooked inside ’cause he’s doing toaster only. Mr. Neal here is doing a two-step process which involves looking forlornly at your microwave for 10 seconds as you think about how good it’s going to be. And then you toast it lightly. It’s also like, very boldly going against the instructions ’cause the name of the product is toaster strudel. So Link is just really. No, Stevie, I still toast it. Oh, you two part it. I two part it. I missed the second part. I was stuck on the microwave. I microwave it to get the hotness of the inside, but then I lightly toast it to get the outside. Call me a rule follower, I just follow the directions and I think they are exquisite. I love a toaster strudel and we have it as a little treat in our house. I love ’em too. If my wife wants my kids to know that they’re loved, she’ll get ’em a toaster strudel. The rest of the time during the year, they know they’re not loved. It’s like, if you boys perform and don’t embarrass us as a family, you get toaster strudels. The icing is so good. It’s just the perfect icing. It’s, I think it might be the perfect pre-packaged breakfast treat. Sweet treat. It’s better than a Pop-Tart, I will fight you over this. Oh, I agree with that. But I don’t think it’s better than like, a cinnamon roll. But if you’re talking about Pillsbury, that’s not technically prepackaged. I feel like you have to, it like, it involves too much of your own involvement. You have to bake it for a good while. I mean, I know you have to toast these. Yeah. This is instant. Well, not quite instant. Semi instant. It’s semi instant. What’s the best semi instant sweet breakfast treat? And I’m on team Apple and the great thing I love about toaster strudel is that no matter what you get, there’s nothing but goo in the middle. There’s no actual fruit pieces. Like if there’s no apple pieces. You get turned off by fruit? Yes. There’s no actual apple shards, strawberry. I don’t know if I can agree with that. I agree with you that they’re great. It’s the truth, it’s the truth. But I’m just saying if you were to go to Germany, where I guess they invented a toaster strudel like way back in the day, and then grandmother gut wine gives you. Like I didn’t, I don’t care if it’s accurate, I don’t care if it’s historical. But I’m just saying if they were like. I’m saying this is my preference. If they said now with real fruit chunks you, you say that’s worse? Yes. Well, I don’t understand why. The same reason I’d love an apple pie better if there wasn’t actually apples in it. If it was just apple goo in the middle? Abso-freaking-lutely. What is wrong with you? Oh my gosh, yes. And yeah, and the fact that they did that, they made that decision. It’s what makes me love. You’re gonna love it when you’re just sucking on the robot overlord teet and it’s just soylent. You’re gonna love those days. You’re gonna to the teets. What’d you have for lunch? Soylent. I love being subject to the robot overlords. That’s you man. That’s your future. Toaster strudel is my jam for that reason. Don’t put any chunks in the soil. Do you want, do you want chunks? I don’t, I mean I think it’s almost perfect. But if you, if you told me that now there’s chunks, now it’ chunks. I’d be excited. So Mike is incorrect But correct for even choosing the product. Mike is very close to being correct. I think Mike. And I, even the feeling being semi frozen, I’ve never tried it, ‘,m so I’m not gonna dog it. I think we could be friends. I think, I think I might like to take Mike for a parking lot pickle. Hey! If he were, Mike, I would like to invite you. Hey, you can’t do that man. You can only pick a one person at a time. Yeah, you’re not gonna be there. That is actually not in the rules according to Urban Dictionary. You can, parking lot pickle is two at a time, two at a time, but a third can watch. I’m not gonna be some. Third wheel in the parking lot pickle? I’m not gonna be a Falwell junior in this situation, man. You know, that’s not my style. Okay. I think you’re onto something. Okay. Y’all know about the pool boy? Y’all don’t, hold on, y’all don’t know about this? Watch, what’s it called on Hulu? The President? What’s that? The President of Liberty University, Jerry Falwell Jr. He would watch his wife. Rhett. And a pool boy from the Fontainebleau in Miami have pickle time. This is a big deal. And there’s a documentary on who’s all about it. You should watch it, it’s good for you. I’m not interested. It’s fascinating, man. This guy was like at the center of the religious right and in the meantime he’s in the corner of a hotel room, you know, watching his wife have pickle time. I don’t like you bringing pickles in into this because pickles was just, that was for us, man. Mike, I gotta, I gotta dis-invite you, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks Mike. What is this? What’s this white stuff? Okay. My dad loves oatmeal like soup style. He’ll make it according to the directions and then add a good cup of milk s it’s essentially pure liquid. To each their own. @MollyRobison. Okay. Now, I’m interested in this. Throwing dad under the bus. This is interesting. Soup style oatmeal. Something’s up with his oatmeal. What’s it taste like to you? Like something? Just say it on three, two, one. We say the same thing. Three, two, one. Burnt tire. Burnt. Burnt tire. You said burnt tire. I just said burnt, man. I feel like it got burnt. Wowser. Is that ’cause there’s so much milk? That’s tough. When you put that much milk in it, it taste burnt. Yeah. That’s all, that’s the only thing we can conclude. He’ll make it according to the directions and then he’ll add a good cup of milk. That’s essentially pure liquid. I wanted to like this ’cause I love milk. I love warm milk like a cat. But I gotta tell you, it’s just not working for me. The cat, I mean the cat. The the milk is very, if you just try to isolate the milk, it’s very thick. Are you saying that somebody burnt it? Yeah, maybe. Well, who’s in charge here? I think that would be, yeah, who’s in charge here? Nicole? Is that V? V, we’re not trying to throw you under the bus here, but it’s not, it’s not black. There’s no like, burnt spots. But it certainly tastes and smells burnt. Now how do you do that with oatmeal? How you burn oatmeal? Yeah, I guess Nicole did it. Nicole did it. She’s not gonna speak before us. She’s cringing in that culinary corner, waiting. We’re coming for you, Nicole. Now you may be asking yourself, you know, I’m really enjoying watching this, what they’re doing right now, but if I could see it turn into an article that I could read. Don’t undermine. No, no, no. I’m saying for real though, man. Sometimes you need it put into an article form. Lots of times I wanna see the article form of something that I’ve watched. Why is that? Because of SEO, man. Because I wanna see, I wanna be able to see all the words. He talking about going to sporked.com. That’s what I’m talking about. That’s right. And not just this, not just this experience that we’ve had right now, but. Accessing rankings. Every experience that we’ve had on this show and experiences that we will have and experiences that we haven’t even had because only the Sporked team has had them. And then put into an article form. It’s over at sporked.com. If you want rankings, you can get ’em instantly. Just use a search. Just use a search button. Now this is chicken-potted, chicken un-potted pie. Is that what’s happening? Yes, exactly. I need this explained. I like to break my pot pies up in a bowl and add milk and spices to it, especially a ton of black pepper. Now black pepper’s great. On the cob. Corn on the cob. Corn on the cob. Like it. This is basically what I do. But you don’t add milk. I haven’t added milk, no. Yeah, you got the crust on top and you just smash all that down into it. No, there is a cream inside of a pie anyway. Lots of pepper. That’s great. It’s actually pretty good. Pepper works on a lot of things in my opinion, but boy, it doesn’t get much better than a lot of black pepper on a pot pie. Man. A lot of black pepper. That’s really on a pooched pot pie. You’re just pooching it. What are you thinking about this? Three, two, one. Not burnt. Good. No it wasn’t burnt. No, no, not at all. This is really good. This is really good. I just saw it in the corner of my eye when I said that. V just really, you know, we’ll figure out the oatmeal thing, V We’ll figure it out. We’ll figure it out. I think it’s just cause there’s so much. What are we doing? We launching an investigation? I just think it’s ’cause there’s so much milk in it. We’re launching a third party investigation. Yeah, like independent. An independent counsel. It will be someone who’s not employed by Mythical. Who’s gonna come in and figure out who burned the oatmeal? They’ll look, yeah, they’ll look into it. It sounds like a children’s mystery. “Who burned the oatmeal?” That’s good, Con. This, this is not revelatory, but it is very good. Okay and finally this one comes from a Mythical Crew member, not a Mythical Beast, from Sierra. This is her ramen recipe. Two packets of ramen, only one flavor packet, cooked as short a time as possible to still be considered cooked. Strain the broth, plop an ice cube in. All right, Sierra. So that is an ice cube. Only you can explain to us why we should eat this. Plop an ice cube? Yeah, so my aunt would do this when we were little just so we would eat quicker, but I like it. What do you mean eat quicker? Like it would cool down so we could eat right away. Oh, she put an ice cube on it to cool it down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. To cool it down because little kids, they, they don’t like hot things. And you like less flavor packet. Was it that she gave you? She wanted to give you less flavor as a child? That wasn’t a her thing. That’s just a me thing. You don’t like flavor. You’re a bland person. I do like bland food. I mean you like, I’m a bland person. It is good to give kid. When it comes to food. It is good to give kids not as much seasoning when they’re younger, though. Because then they can only look forward into the future and be impressed, you know? If my babysitters, the only cereal that she gave me was Rice Krispies and she would let me add a little bit of sugar to it. You should really show your kids. That’s not a good kid cereal. Really bad movies. Get ’em to go to really bad theme parks. Listen to really bad music and their adult life will be amazing. Now they’ll think you are horrible and had horrible taste, talk a lot of trash about you the rest of your life, but they will be happier. Yeah, they, yeah, they’ll be happier. I gotta say this is rather cold ramen. So you, as a kid, so you wouldn’t burn yourself. she’d put that on there and now you do it because you, you’re just attached to that experience. I like that there’s cold pockets when it’s really hot. When most of it’s hot. Yeah, right when it’s done. You’re looking for the cold pockets. You like the cold pockets. Well, here’s my take on this, Sierra. I think that it’s almost perfect. It would be better if you used the full amount of seasoning and cooked it the full appointed time and made it hot and then it would be great, then I would agree with you. I would really agree with you. I think we’re kindred spirits here and I, not because I agree with you on this, but because it’s just so strange that I, you know, I have no room to pick it apart. Thank you. Like the cold pockets, like that’s totally something that I would’ve said about it. About something else. Not this. You’re wrong about this, but I like it. Thanks. Do you guys wanna update on oatmeal gate? Yeah, let’s hear about the oatmeal. Lily in Mythical Kitchen has sent a picture of the pot that Nicole cooked the oatmeal in if we can bring that photo up. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Nicole. I’ll tell you right now. That makes a lot of sense. That is a black bottom bowl right there. Yeah, it is. There are no, I challenge you Sierra to find any cold pockets at the bottom of that bowl. And I gotta say, it looks like whoever took the oatmeal outta the pot really got in there like make sure they got as much of that burnt layer as possible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is one of those scenarios where, I ain’t done. Did they think? Not done yet. This is one of those scenarios where you scrape everything outta the bowl and then you look at the bowl and you’re like, “I’m just gonna throw the bowl away.” Yeah, right, yeah. Too far gone. I’m not even gonna soak this bowl. Yeah, okay. Well, mystery solved. No need to call a third party. Head over to sporked.com to see this video in article form and more, they’re tasting, trying and ranking all sorts of stuff.
