All right, here we are. As you can see, we have all of these choices. We are gonna make competing seven layer dips. Yeah, we are. To be judged by a professional. 14 total layers between the two of us. But first, let’s play a little Think It and Sink It. You know, we got a little trivia game over there on the Mythical Society app. Here’s an example of something that you might be able to answer. Let’s see if we could. What will Link call Alfredo from Ratatouille? A. Is that the mouse’s name, I guess? That chef with the rat. B. Cis male nurse. C. Little Orphan Annie. Or D. He doesn’t know and just yells loudly in frustration. Well, I don’t know. I still don’t, I still didn’t know. I’m gonna go with D. Why would I say cis male nurse? I think I said cis male nurse. Like, something about that, I do remember those three syllables together. You’ve definitely said cis male nurse before. Cis male nurse, I’ve said it before. I don’t know if you’ve said it in that context. Let’s find out! The correct answer is cis male nurse! Yes! The percent of Mythical Beasts who guessed that correctly was 41%. Ooh, not, not many of y’all knew that, so. Download the app, it’s free. Out of four, that’s pretty dang good. Jordan, come on in here. Jordan Myrick. Hello! Tasting and rating over at sporked.com Yep. Judging primo dips. That’s me. So, I was told that I’m going first to assemble this for you. I love this. This is quite a spatula. I love these rubber spatulas. There’s gonna be a lot of smoothing that happens. This might be a good one for my smoothie, cause the one that I have is falling apart. I have one that’s really good with my smoothie. At home. Well, you can take it home with you if you want. There you go. Oh, really? Yeah. Or if you lose. I’m taking both. What’s a good bottom layer? Refried beans, bottom layer for the win with that. You gonna do that to me? I know, take your beans, cause there’s no other bean option. That is really, really dirty. Really, really dirty right off the top. I feel like these are the wackiest options we’ve ever had. Yeah. It’s strange to know where to start cause you want something that’s a firm base. Cause that, I mean, you have to put it in as you go. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you have to build. There’s this, there’s structural sounds that it’s making. I gotta take your refried beans. Oh, no! So, tell us about Isadora. Oh, these are so good. They’re just the perfect refried beans. They taste restaurant style, but you can get them at home in this little package, and they’re really affordable. Put that up there for me. I love them. Rhett, taste those beans. Let me know what you think. I have another spoon. I don’t want to taste them. They’re not mine. Taste them. Don’t you want to know if they’re good beans? Sporked is saying it’s the best beans, man. But if they’re good, then it’ll just feel even that much worse. Yeah, but don’t you want to know? So, how do you, how do you prepare these? You prepare them in the bag? Yeah, you can heat them up in the bag. But you can also put them in a pan, whatever you prefer. Dang. Beans in a bag. Beans in a bag, for the woman on the go. Wow, where do I start? Another form of beans is hummus, but that’s like the last thing that I wanna put into a dip. Really? But then we’ve got like, Tzatziki sauce. Beans in a bag. Feta cheese, I mean, I could go a completely different direction. You could. I could try to go like a Middle Eastern route. You could. And then send him into just the. You know. Yum. More of a Mexican route. Yeah. I’ll say the, oh yeah. This is fun. That’s nice. Is this cooking? Yeah. Am I cooking? You’re cooking . – No. – No. That’s not cooking. I think I’m kind of. It’s close. I’m kind of like cooking. You’re preparing food. I’m spreading food. I’m spreading food. Ooh, yeah. I don’t know. Let’s try it. Why not? Hummus. I think that’s great. I think that’s fun. Why not? They’re beans. They are beans. Yep, that’s a good point. And we love this hummus. So smooth, so creamy. I mean, you like it enough to have a full bottom layer of it? Sure. Nothing wrong with a thick bottom. That’s right. That’s right. Okay. So, what I’m gonna do now, Rhett, you put your sticker up there? I did. Did you put your sticker? I’m gonna do you a little naughty naughty again. Yeah, I thought, in my mind I did. I have got to go with the spicy guac. I love guac. That’s great. And I’m, I don’t know if you do, but I think you do. I do. You’re right. Because you and I, we like puddings. We love pudding. And we like. You got it. We like being here. We like being here, yeah. And it’s just a wonderful time for all. Yeah. Think of one more thing I like. Matching your glasses to your outfit. That’s right! Okay, good job. Thank you. And I, there’s not a thing that guacamole goes on that I don’t like having guacamole on. Yeah, I would agree with that. Like, any time that you can add guacamole, and it makes sense, you should. Absolutely. Okay, there’s, first of all, the smoothing process. This is bad, you did a bad job. Is going to be, like, this is gonna take a while. You did a very, here, can I smooth some for you? Oh, you wanna, yeah, yeah, yeah, cause I just, I, you know, I don’t wanna hold you up here. Putting Jordan to work! This is bad. Okay. Now, see I’m clearly in a lane here. Yes. I gotta stay in this lane as long as I can. Sure. And so. My thing is like are there any that kind of overlap? Right. I would take those first, right? Right. Because he doesn’t want feta cheese. Exactly. Do I get defensive? You know what always helps me think? Blowing kisses. Oh, how many? 25? Maybe 25. That’s three. Oh, I sucked the first one back. Oh, uh oh, uh oh. You brought it back? And that, it became my own. So I’ve given you one. Why can I not blow a kiss? Do you not know how to? Yeah, you gotta. That, I did, that’s my second successful. Yeah, it’s kiss and blow. Kiss and blow. I have to go slow with this. Oh, man. Jordan’s count. How many are you throwing out there? I did four. Okay, good. Cause you went. It’s a technique. Did that work, Rhett? You can collect, and you can blow. I can collect five kisses in my hand. I got five fingers. Okay. Okay. That’s as many as I can catch. See, there you go. Right? Uh huh. Now you get it. But I realize I’ve been blowing those to the crew. I didn’t blow them at you. I’m going to do something here. That’s a sort of a, it’s a little defensive and offensive at the same time. I think that’s good. Playing off of what you were getting at. What could also work here? Yeah. This may be a little bit weird, but I actually think that, the four cheese, shredded cheese is going to work and it’s going to throw a little wrench into his, into his system. I think that sounds delicious. And honestly, I think it’s smart strategically. What cheese do I have? Stickers. – Stickers. – Stickers. Stickers. I gotta remember the system! Alright, so. Oh, put yourself spicy guacamole. Stickers. I have, oh, here’s the thing. Yeah. You wanted this. This is cheese, and then other than that. Oh, yeah. There’s no other cheese, even though I wanted something else. No, there is, but I don’t think you want it. Yeah, I don’t want that feta. Yeah. I want the salsa con queso. – Delicious. – Super spreadable. It’s from the restaurant On The Border. Yes, and their store bought products are incredible. Their tortilla chips, their salsas are pretty good. The salsa con queso is unreal. Stickers. Really, really. Stickers. Kinda scary. Wow, that’s gonna be a, ooh, that’s gonna be a wet dip. This is soup. The restaurant is just kinda like. Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, soup. The restaurant is just okay. Just okay, right? The packaged products though are great. Okay, I’m gonna do another little curveball. I really love the spreading part of this. I might become a dip maker. This feels like a sensory activity for a child. Well, maybe. Yeah, that might be it. A sensory activity. Maybe I shouldn’t. Oh, man. It’s photogenic. I really like, you can see all three of your layers really nicely. Sour cream. Delish. Who doesn’t love sour cream? That’s right. You know, we haven’t actually done our Vegas trip since we last talked about it. I know, and I’m serious about it. You’re what? Your Beggin’ Strip? We haven’t eaten our Beggin’ Strips. Bring in their Beggin’ Strip No, we talked about going to Vegas last episode. And you and I talked about going to the grocery store together. And I feel like a lot of people have been like, I want to see both of these things, so let’s do it. See, you’ve committed to going to Vegas. Let’s go! You ain’t got time for that. I mean, you boy, you boy, you gotta work, boy. I’m gonna buy back time with all the money we win. 100%. An all expenses paid Vegas trip on the job that I have, I’ll do it. Let’s do it! On the job that I have. Yep. Well, maybe. Sticker! Oh, sticker! You know how Vegas, has like, like smaller versions of other cities like Paris and stuff like that. Sure, and New York City. Is there anything local that’s a smaller version of Vegas that we can, that that’s how we get our foot wet? Because I really don’t want to. Dave and Buster’s! Dave and Buster’s. Because I don’t want to take you to the City of Industry. Yeah. Why don’t you take me to Las Vegas? No. I want to, I do. I’m just saying, if we’re really trying to fit it into our sched. Got it. And then Dave and Buster’s is like a. Okay. That’s a good feet wet. Because the whole idea of City of Industry is like, sometimes I just don’t, I don’t necessarily feel safe. Interesting. And I don’t want to put you, I don’t want to put you in harm’s way. Okay, well. I look intimidating, but I’m not. Sure. And I don’t look intimidating, but I am. You’re right. So that makes us the perfect combination. Okay, well maybe we can go anywhere. I would happily go to Dave and Buster’s with you. What’s your favorite game? At Dave and Buster’s? I like the one that is. Drinking, right? That spins around, yeah, it’s drinking. It, no, I actually don’t drink that much. Did you know that? No, I didn’t know that. Yeah, that’s a little fact for you. Do they have a drinking game at Dave and Buster’s? I don’t think so, that’s normally a thing you do at home. Do you do drinking games at places a lot? I don’t do, I don’t drink a lot either. Wow! Yep, I’m more of a pudding guy. I love that, yeah. Nothing like a big cup of pudding at a bar. If you, maybe you’ve noticed, I am doling out some Italian sausage. Sweet Italian sausage. Okay. From, your recommendation, Johnsonville. It’s good. I do prefer spicy personally, but this is a good sweet Italian sausage. Yeah, now I got some nice meat in here. Rhett, you’re, you are going so thin with your layers. What, what is happening? Yeah, I’ve been watching you, bro. They are slender layers. I mean. There’s seven of them! Mine’s fogging up, you can’t tell where the. You’re about to run out of layer room, is what it feels like. Uh huh. I’ve layered things together. I was gonna be an archaeologist. Is that true? Well, in my dreams. Well. I love layers. I love sedimentary layers. But it’s your go, Rhett. It’s your choice. I know that, I’m just, I’m, I’m, I’m. Accept some help. I’m spackling over here. Accept help. Okay, sweet Italian, that was a pretty good call there. Thank you, thank you. It was a surprising call to me. Yeah, because it was where I was gonna go next. I know. Well. Capers? I guess maybe what I’m gonna have to do here It’s getting real. Yeah. Stickers. Stickers. I’m gonna have to go buffalo chicken dip. Yum! Yep, that’s a, that’s a defining move right there. Okay. Sticker, sticker, sticker. So, the buffalo dip, I mean, you got another one behind you, but. No, but, I’ll lose them. We don’t have enough. I think the buffalo chicken dip is a great move, because even if everything else doesn’t taste good, that will still taste good. Yeah, and this is gonna be a hearty, hearty later. Yes, and you need that, honestly. Hearty, hearty, hearty, hearty, hearty. What do you typically dip in that? Tortilla chips, Ritz Crackers, celery, carrots. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That’s gonna be good. What do I? Now, I don’t have, now I have cheese, I have meat. That’s quite a layer. That’s quite a time period that passed. I just couldn’t help but notice that you said that you wish that this sausage was spicy. That’s good listening. So, I gotta give you some hot salsa. There we go. Sticker my salsa. Let’s bring this in. So this is going to be, this is going to give you the heat right on top of this. I love that idea and I love this salsa. It’s all going to work out. Mateo’s salsas are so good. And I can’t remember, you can stand the heat or no? Not really. Okay. I like, I like chili oil. Okay. So, for some reason I can take a lot of that as heat. Interesting. But. I get scared of some other stuff. That’s a lot of salsa. Well, you got to, don’t you worry. It’s all gonna. It has to be a layer. I mean, it has to. Yeah, that’s true. And let me tell you. If one of us is a good spreader, it’s me. Look at the spread on that. Look how shallow your dish is. It’s just, it’s just, it’s, It’s the most impotent spread I’ve ever seen. I will say it is a little small. If we were at a party at this point and I saw both of these, This is very, I know. I put every bit of everything. To the windows! To the wall! I want room for your chip to go in there. I want it to be able to go, I want it to be protected. Alright, I understand that. Spillage. Okay, I understand that. I feel like I could be like, making a driveway, you know? Yeah, you could do that. Just cementing it up, I would be good at that too. Yeah. Okay, I am moving to. When you get back from Vegas, I’m gonna have poured you a new driveway. Wow! Where? In between your, what do you have, an apartment? Of course. Just right out front. Between your apartment and the office. You’re gonna have your own route here. Wow! Concrete route. Oh my gosh. He’s paving you a road. Honestly, that’s pretty nice. I would like the feta. Delicious. Trying to stay on theme here. Delicious. Stickers. Stickers. Okay. Oh, God. I gotta grind my own feta? We’re down to the final two. What’s still left? No, there’s a bunch of stuff left. Oh, we don’t have to use everything. Yeah, we do. Oh, we do? Capers, chorizo, French onion dip. Can I get a bowl? “Lebne”? Yes. Labne. Labne. Or “Lebne”. You can say it either way. Labne. I really love this stuff. I’m torn between this and the French onion dip. Both are good. That’s a pretty small, I gotta go with the French onion dip. I think that’s the better choice. I love this crap. I love it. I think that’s a better choice. And this has like dill and stuff in it, which I don’t necessarily think is complimentary to this, good strat. I mean, I really got what I wanted starting first. This is the most confident I’ve ever seen you. I know. I feel like. I’m in my, I’m in flow state. Yeah. – Like, I’m sitting here. – Absolutely. It’s like a, like a, I have, this is my rake, and this is my zen garden. Yes. I really do think I might be a chef now. Wow. Okay, so, okay, you’re gonna start cooking. Okay, alright. I’m gonna start spreading. I’m the spread chef. Spread them, drop them, smooth them. This is the most work we’ve ever had to do. I know. Drop them. I love it. I say put you guys to work. I bet RoboCop would have been a great seven, seven layer dip maker. This is just one of those things that you don’t have to have in your house. But, when you do, you’re so happy that you found it. It’s delicious. And you can buy it at a gas station. Who doesn’t like that? Beautiful. Let me spread this out. Oh my gosh. Mine’s a little, so far it’s pretty, whitish and yellowish. Not my favorite food colors, but. Yeah, yeah, right. You know, I’m doing what I can. He took my beans. I understand. I’m sorry. But I think this sounds really good to me so far. Two different types of cheeses. I mean, the thing that’s gonna happen here for one of us in a second is where somebody’s gonna get something they don’t want. Yeah. And it’s gonna be right on the top. And that thing is capers. Yeah, right. I think mine can take capers if it needs it. If it has to have it. If I end up somehow getting him with capers, which doesn’t sound likely considering he’s picking first. Sure. Is it my go? Yeah. Okay. Oh, no. It already came back to me. Oh my gosh. Stickers, stickers. Stickers. I am going to go with. I’m gonna make him, I’m gonna make him do tzatziki on top of the white stuff he just put on there cause I’m gonna get chorizo. Vegan chorizo. Yep. For my sad little layer boy. This is a bit of a sabotage for you. And also, I needed some different color in mine. Yeah, I think this will really liven it up. And it’s gonna get. Well, why not capers? Well, he’s gonna get capers. Why not you, capers? Yeah, why not me, capers? Think about flavor. Hey, if you’re gonna be a spreader extraordinaire, you really gotta start thinking about flavor. Give me that Labne. I did not know that Labne was tzatziki. So you can make tzatziki with. Tzatziki Labne. Oh, okay. So it’s an ingredient for it. And this allows me to really solidify my white, my white layer. And see now I’ve got some depth. I’ve got some flavor. Wow. And I am gonna caper this off. You’re gonna caper it off? I got to. I have no choice. Ooh, that is thick. But to caper a little bit on top. Why all the caper hate? It’s just, I think doesn’t necessarily go perfectly with either one of these. Like, I don’t really want to eat capers on buffalo chicken dip. But I think it’ll be fine. Stevie does. I think that it’s, I think it has a chance on mine. Sure. I do too. I think there’s a tartness. I think the flavor combination. It livens things up, you know. I think that it’s gonna be really salty on yours because you have feta and buffalo chicken dip. I think it’s gonna be really salty. Yeah, yeah, but everybody needs their sodium. That’s true. Especially athletes. Like me. Why did everyone laugh? So you? Yes? It, what sport have you played? Like, maybe in high school? Sure. Could be recreation if you want to go there. I used to play volleyball. Okay. And. High school? Middle school. Okay. In high school I was doing theater. So, I didn’t have time for sports. And then, recreationally now I swim and I dance. When you dance recreationally, what do you mean by that? I like go to dance classes. Sticker. You go to dance classes? Yeah. Hey, can you sticker me down there, Link? The chorizo and the, the capers? Yep. So, there we go. And I have made it. You did it. And you did it. Okay, I gotta say, your cross section is great. Yours looks so bad! Yeah, yeah, your cross section is great. Bring in the chips, homie. Yours looks like inside out shepherd’s pie. But here’s the thing. You’re recommending the On the Border Cafe Style. How does it taste? Okay, I’ll go with yours first. All right, let’s get in there. I do, you know what? I will say you did a good job with giving me room to reach in there. Yeah, see, I was thinking about you. It’s easy to get to the bottom. Wow. A lot going on, but honestly, I don’t hate it. It’s kind of just cheesy, salty, and then you get the chorizo. And I will say the capers almost kind of tastes like when you get a black olive on top of a nacho. That’s a little bit what it tastes like. So, you started mine or yours? If you, if you, if you’re into that? Yeah. Very. You know that. Okay. There we go. It’s a lot. I’m scared. Yep, yep, yep. Can I come in here? Yeah, you can come in here. Why you going in? It’s too deep. You’re just too, look, I mean, I lost a chip. It’s too deep, Jordan. I lost the whole chip. I mean, it’s, it’s deep. But that gives you some discovery. He’s having to spoon it. I see that. Am I gonna lose another chip? Oh, man. Oh, yes, I’m losing. I mean, I can’t even get it out. This is very creamy. I love the Italian sausage. My fingers are getting wet. It’s familiar. I know it. It tastes like seven layer dip. It really just is a seven layer dip. You did it. You took the more traditional route. Okay, hold on. Let me taste this one more time. Sausage and guac. I feel like a moron. Look at that. I can’t eat this at a party. I’m gonna have to turn my head away. Don’t watch. Yeah, turn your head away. We don’t care. Wow. Leave the party. I’m torn. And I can’t believe I’m saying that. It does taste pretty good, though. It’s just a little too big. Oh, as you deliberate. How could you be torn? But that tastes good. – Did you taste that? – Did you taste it? No. Taste it. Yeah, I tasted yours. Yours is good. I’ll admit it. Come on. While Link is tasting that. And Jordan is thinking about, the final decision. If you don’t feel like making your own seven layer dip, well, you know what? The Sporked team tasted a bunch of grocery store, seven layer dips that are already pre-made by people like Link in the back of a grocery store. Okay? They found the best one. So head over to sporked.com for a full ranking. Okay. That’s no good. That’s not a good response. That caper a bad tang. Just a cough? Just a cough? Okay. Bad tang to it. I think I’m ready. Okay. Someone create some kind of. Thank you. And we could also chant. Perfect. The winner this time is Rhett! What? It’s good, man. It’s good. Yours is very traditional, but I don’t like the layer of tzatziki on top with the dill in it. I don’t think it meshes with the rest of the flavors. You were bored. And I was bored. – Sabotage. Sabotage. – And I was bored. And I thought, I don’t know. White on white. I have to inform, this is the third time in a row that Rhett has won. Oh, no. Stevie, you should come taste this. It’s a really special creation. It’s my famous seven layer caper dip. Yeah, this is weird, but I think it gets extra points because it was so unexpected. It worked out better than I would have thought. I did this for you. That’s true, so in a way, you won. Okay, yeah, that’s how it works. Skip the work and just buy the best seven layer dip from a grocery store near you. Head to sporked.com to find out which stores make the best seven layer dips.
