Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” We are going to take a picky eater test. Now, I’m known as being a picky eater, but this is gonna be a definitive measurement of how picky you are as well. Yes. And I’m told that the crew has wagered, Wagered. Against our scores. Oh, well this is fun. Gambling, yes. We encourage that. Yes. Just not with real money, you know. Just with ideas. Just for the fun of it. Just with ideas. And also, we’re gonna find out how picky some of the crew members are. Good, good. But first, let’s play, “You Gotta Check Out…” where we are given the title of a show. And then we say that you gotta check it out. You have gotta check out. “Eating My Way to You.” “Eating My Way to You” is, You know, we take, It’s so good, first of all. Well, this season was crazy, because, Season three? Well because it was like, season three was the old folks, you know? Right. They started out with like straight people season one and then gay people season two. Right. And now it’s just old people. Old people, but they’re all hungry. Yeah. Yeah. And they’re all hot. So hot. And they put the hottest dude inside a giant thing of “bolonia.” Right. I only say that because that’s what they called it on the show. I always called it Bologna, but I think because it was all filmed in “Spawn.” Right. They called it “Bolonia.” And then all the old hot women, Women, yeah. Around there. And men because, And men. And men; gay and straight. It’s the bi season. Old bi people. It’s called, “Old Bis.” And they’re eating. They all, they start eating the “Bolonia.” But they’re eating towards the person that they want to be closest to. Come to me, come to me old bi person. No, they’re all trying to get the hot dude. One guy’s in “Bolonia.” At least the season I saw. Oh, oh! Maybe you saw season four. I don’t know. No, no, no. But you should check it out! In the episode I saw, the guy was in the “Bolonia,” Oh yeah? And he was eating his way out. Oh! To get to the person that he loved. Dang. And then in the episode I saw, they were eating in. To get to the guy To get to him. Inside the “Bolonia.” Oh, you know what? Maybe it’s a multicast. Or maybe I was just watching it backwards. No, I don’t know. But you should check it out! You should totally check it out. Wow. Did you say “Spawn?” I dunno if you noticed, I got a nice ring. Spawn. Spawn. I didn’t even say Espania. “Spawn!” I said Spawn. The bit’s over. Now we can just, Oh, man. Debrief about it. We’re having so much fun today. Oh, Gosh. Wow. Hey man, What are doing? You treat me like a child, It’s a very complicated test, this one. You’re gonna get a child. I’m gonna tell you, it’s a complicated test. I have a list of 15 things that people notoriously don’t like to eat. Okay. We’re gonna go through that list. Okay. You’re each gonna tell me if you refuse to eat that thing. If you, Refuse or prefer? I think refuse. Like, you don’t like it. Like, it’s not like you’re in some kind of game show inside of a “Bolonia” and you have to eat it. Right. It’s like, just on a regular day. Like, no, I’d prefer not to eat that, so I’m not going to, Yeah. And for each item that you refuse to eat, you get a point. Okay. And yeah, the crew has guessed specifically what Link’s points. Okay. Will add up to, so we’ll see. We’ll see if they’re right. It’s always there. This never happens. It’s the desk. How long, why is it taking so long? I guess my knees grew. Speaking of growth, Stevie, let me ask you about your experience. Yeah. Now that you’re back behind the mic. How was it Feel so much better Out there, in the lights? It seems like that that’s your comfort zone. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, when you stand next to a board and you kind of gesture at it and you’re standing behind Two guys who won’t shut up? A tall man with tall hair, and it’s just like, what do you do? You know? And then you like, open a thing that can be opened, But we had so much fun with you up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But now I’m here. And now I have my button, I can push it and I can talk to you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I can read stuff. Yeah. And that’s, yeah. Maybe one day we’ll come back there and see what it feels like. Well it’s also, there’s like a nice amount of physical separation between me and the two of you. Yeah. Right, you can’t smell me. Yeah. Well, mostly me and Link, you can’t throw things at me. But I kind of liked the fact that we were having fun and then Rhett was the one getting kind of frustrated and that was nice. Oh, I wasn’t frustrated. And I’m not gonna try to play this like I’ll eat anything. I’m not gonna be the guy that’s trying to go 15 and oh, just so you know. Okay? I’m gonna be honest. I mean, but, yeah. But I think you, okay, I won’t give any previews, but I mean, I think you would eat all this stuff. Why not? Alright. Blue cheese. Love it. No, I’d rather not. Woo, dang. Okay, one for one. I’m gonna take a “L” on this one. No point. I recently had something, Well, I’ll take a point. What was it? I’ve never liked blue cheese in anything. Where was I, they put blue cheese in something and I was like, well that’s a bold, oh! It was when we were with our friends in Colorado. Our college buddies? I don’t know if you picked up on this, but the first day I had a burger with blue cheese on it. And then I went to the next restaurant and they had a country fried steak with blue cheese gravy. And I was like, I guess I gotta get it. You got it. From then on, five meals in a row, I just got the thing with blue cheese on the menu and I had such a wonderful trip. One of them was loaded fries, I think. I can’t remember. It was a blue cheese. What is that dinging? Good, Oh, well I typically don’t have my iPad here. Lemme see. Lemme see. Okay, I got a couple of texts here. Well, it’s a thread that you’re on. Oh yeah? Is it our friend who was asking us our two favorite colors? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The most active thread that we’re both on right now, is all of our friends saying what their two favorite colors are. Yeah, yeah. Isn’t that cute? Well, I think we’re all having jerseys made. Mike, Science Mike. Mike McHargue asking all of our friends, what’s your two favorite colors? You can tell a lot about a person by their two favorite colors. Green and blue, in the reverse order. Okay, next one. What’s your favorite colors? What’d you get? What did you tell him? I said purple and green. I think he’s making a present for us. Purple and green? It’s Barney colors. Yeah, you said purple and green. Hulk! Oh, green and purple. I like purple. Purple is, Purple and green? My favorite color rotates. It was gray for a long time. I thought you were gonna say gray, and then I thought you would say, I don’t know. I almost said brown and gray. Orange. I loved brown for a long time, I loved gray for a long time. And then I became Brown. a purple guy. I’m kind of in a purple phase. And I was like purple and brown seems weird. And so I was like, purple and, I like green. I like to wear green clothing, as you can see. Okay. Okay, I’m not eating the blue cheese is the point. Licorice. Oh! I’ma take, I’ma take an “L” on that one. Dang, is this a list of my favorite foods? I’m not, Man, I gotta get some new, I gotta get some new licorice. I got old licorice. I mean, I got old licorice now. Does it get old? It gets hard. And I like the Australian soft kind. You didn’t eat, we bought it for you for your birthday and you never ate all of it? Well, it’s not good for you. For two reasons. Number one, it’s mostly sugar. Number two, if you eat too much, it does something to your blood. Look it up. Yeah, I recently heard this too. If you like eating a lot of black licorice, it can do something to your blood. That’s not good. Seems like what would be pertinent, but, okay. Radishes. Radishes. Now what is that? I love a good radish. What is a, is a radish that white disc that’s red on the edge Yeah, have you not, my mom used to bring In salads? Whole radishes and just, well I mean, I took ’em from her. She didn’t just feed ’em with her hands. She would bring home radishes and I would pop ’em in one after another. And now the only place you can get ’em is if you, I mean, you can get ’em to the grocery store, but the only place I run into them is at a taco stand, now, where they give you the cut up radishes. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I like these. Hey! I like these. They’re peppery. They got like, a black peppery type of, You didn’t know what it was, though? Yeah, it was a weird route we took I just wanted to make sure. to get here, but, I wanted to make sure that’s what that was. Oh, I love those. Oysters. I’m gonna pass. Yeah, I’ll be honest. Most of the time I eat them, I’m eating them because everyone has decided to do so. And if you put the right stuff on them, the stuff that’s on them tastes good. Well, here’s what I don’t understand about ’em. But I don’t like them in the same way that I like sushi, which is like, I actually, I’m not just liking sushi to be a guy who likes sushi. Okay. It just tastes good. What about barbecue oysters? Those are great. Cooked are great. I’m talking about like, oysters on the half shelf. But let me ask you, show me how to eat an oyster right here. And then, like, with your other hand, show me where the oyster goes and what speed. Oh, well let me start over. Start over. Oh, it’s just so everyone can see. Yeah, you go profile. You grabbing the, yeah, Everybody ready? Because we’re doing it together. And point with this hand, where, Well, it’s right here, right now. Yeah, internally. I didn’t think, I was getting ready when I went in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See? You’re dying. Okay, yeah. So my point is, Just like that. What’s the point in eating something that you’re just gonna swallow as quick as you can? Oh, you mean why didn’t I chew it? Why didn’t you taste it? I mean, what’s the point of eating something if you’re not gonna taste it? You should chew it. You shouldn’t not chew it. Maybe I do chew it. Yeah. I don’t think he chews it. That one was imaginary. He doesn’t chew it. So it didn’t require chewing. He doesn’t chooses it. No, I think I do chew it. I think I do chew it, a couple times. Yeah. Just to get some taste out of it? Is that where it still is? Okay. But this is, now half of it’s going down. And half of it. Other half’s up here. It separated when I chewed it. Now I definitely am not eating one and that’s enough. But I do eat it, so yes, I do not refuse it. No, no, no. It’s just not my favorite thing. Now I like shrimp. That’s not on the list. Broccoli. Yes, I like broccoli. Yeah. And you should always, when presented with an opportunity to eat raw broccoli, do it. And the sad thing is, every time I see raw broccoli, I hear him say that in my head. Why? What do you mean? Like, because, he always says. No, why should you eat raw broccoli? It’s so good for you. That’s what I got food poisoning from that one time. Whenever you, if you’re ever presented with an opportunity to eat raw broccoli, you should take it. Just do it. Always take it. And you know what, I do! I just, I can’t not hear. I see raw broccoli and I hear your speech. Yeah. You’re not even there! The other night, at my house, two nights ago, there was raw broccoli. And I came this close to saying it, But I knew it would make you too happy. Hold on, but you ate it right? I did eat it! ‘Cause I heard it. But hold on, but, And I almost said, “Whenever you’re presented with an opportunity to eat raw broccoli, you should always do it.” The reason I say that, And I didn’t wanna make you happy. The reason I say that, is I’m saying it to myself and others, because when presented with a traditional veggie tray, broccoli is far and away the most healthy thing. Far and away, the healthiest thing between carrots, celery got nothing. There ain’t nothing happening with celery. Cauliflower is a close second, well, a distant second. But you got that broccoli, you don’t want to eat it. You want the carrots, you want the celery, you want the stuff that’s not really gonna do much for you. Go for the broccoli. So I tell myself that and I tell others that. Yeah. And other people never forget it. Now, do you know what food is the highest percentage of water? In that mix? No. In all foods? All foods. Well, I mean, celery is a good candidate for that. But watermelon is also a great candidate for that. Is there, do you know? Yeah, man. Definitively? Have I named it yet? Well, you just gimme your answer. Celery. It’s cucumber. Oh, cucumber. It’s 103% water. But you know what, Stevie, I now am almost liking cucumbers. But they’re probably not on the list. What do you mean “almost?” I’m getting there. Oh, okay. Oh, ’cause pickles. ‘Cause when you thinly slice cucumbers and you put ’em in rice vinegar, And make ’em pickles? I love that. But they’re not pickles, yet. Okay. We’ve only gotten through five of the fifteen things. Yeah, we’ll speed it up. Good pace, good pace, good pace. Calamari. Ooh. I’m on the fence, but, can I order something else? No. Can I order shrimp? The best calamari is the one that doesn’t come in the little rings that can be mistaken for pig anuses, and commonly mistaken for them. It’s the one that is just, Actually are pig anuses? Actually the whole little squid with the little legs. I don’t, so I’m out. No. So no. Okay. Yes, do you? Oh, I love it. Oh, I don’t like it. I don’t like the way it looks. And a lot of people, they only get it fried. You can get it grilled. Try it grilled. It’s hard to chew. Try it grilled. It’s too chewy. It’s not natural. Cottage cheese. Oh yes! Oh yes. That’s my favorite cheese! He does, his favorite cheese is of the cottage. I did know that. It’s so good. Which I think is nuts, but I also do like it. Well, I add walnuts. Well then it’s not, And then, sometimes I’ll add, what’s that purple liquid? Things that have flavor? What’s that purple, NuGrape. He loves putting But, the drizzle, NuGrape in his cottage cheese. Who doesn’t though, really? What is the purple drizzle, you can put, Balsamic? Yeah. Why is yours purple? Usually it’s brown. Well, Maybe you got a special one. So that’s a yes. Peas. What kind of peas? You love peas. Don’t get me wrong. Garden peas? Any peas, I’ve been told. What? Green peas. Any peas. Peas. Yeah, garden peas are my favorite vegetable. Okay, great. I like field, Le suer. I like field peas too. Tofu. No. Hold on, but, hold on. I don’t understand it. In your defense, you’d eat it though. No, I’ve passed it up many times. I’ve tried it and why am I, Well, hold on. Why am I eating a sponge? But have you had it in a good curry where it absorbs the flavor? No, Rhett. You haven’t had tofu in a good curry before? I’ve given you my answer. I haven’t. Because usually I can also You should try it. Get chicken in said curry. Yeah, but I’m saying if you want, in my mind, if you wanna do a plant-based thing, I don’t. You can basically get it as good as chicken, almost, if you get the right tofu. It’s not as good chicken. I bet you I could get there. There’s nothing unpleasant about. Put it in your “working on it” column. I’m working on it. Olives. Never. Yeah. Not working on it. Yeah, you’re back to my favorites. Grapefruit. Yes! You don’t even have to put sugar on it, like my momma would do. There’s haters out there, I’ve seen recently on TikTok, can’t stomach grapefruit. Huh. Weird. Add some salt. Mayonnaise. Oh yeah, I’m a big fan. Asparagus. Ah, you know what? I’m moving away from it. Why? I used to eat it, I never liked it. And now I’m like, you know what? I don’t like it. I’m gonna stop eating it. It’s one of the few things that I thought I liked and now I don’t. Have you had it canned? No. Have you had it pickled? No. They’re both good. Canned? Canned asparagus has a completely different consistency. So my wife doesn’t usually get canned vegetables, but. The stalks are always hard. This is why I want you to try canned. I Feel like a failure for leaving it. So if you do the steamed fresh, they’re obviously way better for you. But yeah, you can get some hard stems. Something happens in the canning process, where they just turn into like butter. It’s so good, and also kind of gross if you think about it. Yeah. But they’re so good. It’s like canned peas I really like, but then if you compare them to frozen peas, Get some canned asparagus. Canned peas are better, okay. I think it will change your life. And then how do you prepare it? You don’t even put it on a plate. Straight out the can. What? No. You don’t like asparagus, like, roasted in the oven with olive oil and salt and pepper and it gets crispy? Yes. You can dip it in like aioli or something. I do. Okay. I would prefer it over kale prepared that way. Just my answer’s no, but okay, I’ll work on it. Well, we need, okay. So the answer’s no. The answer’s no. The answer’s no. He doesn’t like it. Hmm. Ketchup? Yes. Yeah. Who doesn’t like ketchup? I know. Is it, oh, Brittany does not like ketchup. Feels very strongly about it. Okay. Chicago hotdog eaters don’t like ketchup. And finally, zucchini. I’m really on the fence. I eat it out of guilt. It’s in the squash zone for me. Which is, if you give it to me, I’m gonna eat it, but I’m not going to choose it. So you’re saying no, and I’m saying, you know what, I’m saying yes. I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat it. Like, if you grill vegetables. Just say yes or no. We’re at the end. We gotta tabulate the results. I’m not gonna refuse it. I’ll eat it, it’s just not great. I don’t love it. You know, you didn’t do, I feel the same way about zucchini, by the way. I don’t know, there’s something, you know what’s good though? Zucchini bread. That’s good. Oh, yeah. I agree with that. That’s great. What happens? They add bread to it. That’s what happened. Yeah. So how do we fare? And then did people, So, you did, Results? I think better than the majority of people thought you were going to do. Well, define “better.” I don’t know. How many did he like? I think more people thought you were going to, actually, you’re right in the middle. You refused seven of the 15th. So less than half. Oh! That’s not bad. That’s not bad at all. And we had five people who guessed, that that was gonna be your sweet spot. You know what’s crazy, is we have pickier eat eaters here. I guarantee you Caitlyn’s one of ’em. Well, Mikayla has nine things. What? That she refuses to eat, and grapefruit and ketchup are amongst those things. Uh-oh. What? Yes, please. Mikayla! Come to the mic. Mikayla. Mikayla is more picky than me and she’s been hiding it. Hello. Okay. You need to own this. Mikayla, what is wrong with you? Okay, here’s the thing about ketchup. I actually do like ketchup, I used to drink ketchup. But I was seeing red by the time I got to like the end of that list, ’cause I was like about to vomit, because I was like, ugh, I can’t eat any of this. I love ketchup, but I don’t like zucchini. So yes, it’s the same amount. Okay. So really it’s eight things. You know what? You’re in touch with your preferences, aren’t you? Very much so. Right. And you’re not apologizing to anybody. Not at all. And you can decide to change what you like or don’t like, just based on your own prerogative. Well, here’s the thing: I eat a thing once and if it just turns me off, it turns me off and that’s it. You’ve tried things. I have! Right. You’ve tried olives. Yeah, they’re like salt grapes. Who wants that? Like, Nobody should. Ew. Yeah, exactly. Well, what would you guess is the most refused item on the whole list that we just went through? Oysters. I was gonna say oysters, but I can’t remember the full list. But oysters is probably up there. I mean, surprisingly, olives. Yeah, olives are very polarizing. Olives is number one. And not a good taste, not a good experience. Man, me and Mikayla! We’re both discerning, in touch with our palette. Okay, so you’re saying that the reason I like everything, is because I’m not in touch with. ‘Cause you don’t think, you just eat. Ugh. Is this good? Don’t matter. I love it, man. I love olives. I just love it, man. I wasn’t directed at you, it was very defensive. Okay, okay, okay. All I’m saying is in a given day, you might encounter 20 different things. You’re gonna have a better day or a worse day if you like more of the 20 things that you encounter. Right, wrong, right, wrong? I’m not having this conversation. Okay. I’m gonna do this chunk. Baby girl, what’s your name? Stay, quesadilla. It tore a little bit, that’s fine. That’s fine, shh, shh, shh. Oh God, talk to me.
