GMMore 2623: Who Makes The Best Taco?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are set to compete in a tournament of the ages. Who can make the most desirable hard taco using these ingredients? Oh wow, it’s gonna be incredible. Or half of them. But first, 10 word story. Let’s make it a Father’s Day theme. Daddy. You. Once. Took. All. Your. Skulls. And. Left. Me. But. I. Learned. That. You. Will. Transmit. Beams. Of. Love. Back. To. Me. Whenever. I. Want. So. It’s. Cool. It’s cool. It’s cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So just so you understand the story. So, daddy, you once took all the skulls and left me, but I learned that you will transmit beams of love back to me whenever I want. So, it’s cool. So, if your dad leaves and just continues to call you, it’s cool. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Right? Yep. I mean, he’s probably had something important to do with his skulls. Right. And when he’s done, he’ll be back. Let’s bring in Jordan! Thanks, everyone. Jordan, I’m glad you’re here. But I’m not glad that this is here. This is the abomination that I have to eat because I lost. Because you don’t know your dad as well as I do. What is that? It’s called ccallops a la Warhead. But there’s blue cheese. Scallops. And Warhead. Like, Warhead scallops? I cannot believe those are scallops. That is disgusting. There’s no way you’re getting that down. That’s so much blue cheese. So big. That would be tough for me. But you know what? He’s a man. Oh, the texture of the scallop. He’s a father. He’s a father. He’s a father and for his kids, this, this, this Father’s Day is going to show him what his dad, their dad is capable of. Daddy can take down a dog regardless of what’s on it. Sorry, kids. Hopefully, hopefully you’ve already clicked away. Daddy couldn’t do it. You know what? Daddy’s not perfect. Take it away. Daddy can’t do everything. And when you start just expecting your dad to do everything, you’re really setting yourself up for disappointment. Right, Jordan? Yikes! Yikes! That was one of the most disgusting looking things I’ve ever seen on this show. I can’t believe those were scallops. That was bad. They were little scallops. And I don’t like blue cheese either. Link, why don’t you move over so Jordan can get right in the middle. Sorry. Sorry, Jordan. Thank you. Oh my gosh. Yeah! Let’s do it. Okay, so. Crunchy taco. Ooh, I love crunchy tacos. Crunchy tacos, yes. It’s the American way. Who’s gonna go first? Well, Link, you’ve had a tough Pick a number between 1 and 10. – 10. – Got it. Well, I was gonna say 9. 10, and you’re gonna say what? I was gonna say 9. Okay, the number is 3, so you’re going first. Well, I shouldn’t have done that. Yeah. I’m sorry. That was bad, Link. I was trying to be unbiased. That was bad. That was a real bad move, bro. I don’t care. I don’t care if you go first. I’m still gonna try my best. You have to start somewhere. And, when I go first, I still don’t make the, the thing that you’ve been choosing. So. I’m going to, I’m intrigued by these. If I go second. It’ll work better today I’m very intrigued by the nacho cheese taco shells. So, Link, if you could place an R up there and I’ll start with that as my base. Alright. Where are, where are those? I’m not reading that. Right here. Oh. Oh, that’s interesting. So it’s? Oh, I don’t even need this thing. It’s a Doritos Loco. But I guess I could use it. But it doesn’t, but they don’t want to say Doritos because Old El Paso does not make a cola. They didn’t make Doritos. Oh, that’s nice. They went pretty Dorito though. So what, what other kind of hard, I mean I’ve just got the classic, so I got, I gotta go with classic. Yep. Okay. If you didn’t do that, I was going to take your shell. There’s also standing stuff. And I was going to make you do a hand taco. You’re really doing strategy now. The last few of these, you’ve really gone full strategy. You know, you’re trying so hard. You have so much to prove. Okay. Okay. Are you guys mad at each other? All right, boy. I just ate that and it was nasty. Okay. It pretty much soured my. He’s mad because I’ve got a better connection with his dad. Whoa. Yeah. Even though I don’t even really talk to his dad. Okay. That’s what he’s mad about. Sad. You know, I should have gone a little golf trip with your dad. He likes to play golf. Yeah, he does. We could really have a good time. Good. Good. Good. G-U-H-U-D. Good. Good. I am going. We got lots of things. You gotta pick up the pace here. You know what, I know that Jordan. Eats meat. There’s beef. Jordan doesn’t really favor meat. Okay. You know. Well, what about ground? If they have a choice between regular ground beef or Gardein ground beef. Ground Be’f. They’re actually going to choose Gardein. And so that’s where I’m going. You are correct. How do you even say that? Ground Be’f? Be’f, it’s French. – Be’f – Be’f I would like some Be’f I mean, I will take the normal beef. Okay. Even though you’re saying that you don’t, you don’t, you don’t really love beef. I don’t, I don’t eat it at home, but I’ll eat it at work. Yeah. Well, maybe I’ll just take something else off the table. Oh, I thought you already picked it. Something else. I touched it, but I didn’t. I mean, yeah, that seems smart to me. Maybe I will go with. I’m gonna go with hashbrowns. Oh my goodness. I’ve never done this. I’ve never put hashbrowns on a. What a weird first thing to do. Yeah. It’s weird, man. I think it’s a nice little I like a potato. You like a potato with. Potato That’s currently looking like the driest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, so I’m not excited yet. We’ll get to the sauces. It’s a good base. Like, I’m making a starchy base. Alright, I’m interested. I’m open. Now, I’m a little bit torn. Okay. I’m a little bit torn. Talk me through it. Because, I don’t know, you don’t really like ground beef, but if I take away all meatified options from him, and I go double Be’f and beef, it really puts him in a predicament. Does it? It creates a situation where now you’re dealing with Be’f and beef, and so, because I’m thinking more about your experience and less about him being disadvantaged. I’m not gonna do that. Thank you. And I’m gonna go with a cheese here, and of course, we got too many choices here, we got. You already got cheese in your taco. Mexican style, four cheese blend and then Tillamook Mexican four cheese blend. One of them is thick cut though. So I’m gonna go with the thinner cut for a taco I’m gonna go with the Kraft, four cheese. Okay, great. That’s the one I wanted. I think that that’s. I love it. The little shreds are nice. It’s a much better consistency for a taco. I get that. And I like that you’re thinking about me because flattery does work in this. That’s right, Darn it! Challenge! Everybody knows that. I wanna get some cheese. Okay. So I’m gonna go with that like, flat Tillamook cheese. Which, which you guys chose. I mean, it’s delicious. It’s a great cheese. I don’t know if it’s better texture for a taco than the thin, but I still really like it. It tastes good. It’s better than not having cheese. It melts beautifully, which we won’t get to experience today. I don’t like the fact that you’re working on two tacos at the same time. I’m going to take that. I’m working on three. He’s working on three. He’s making three separate tacos. I’m making one for all of us. You know, this is a party. We’re going to eat like a family. Okay, gracious. I’ll join. I’ll join. Wow. And I, you know, if I have to go back to some sort of ground beef, I’m glad that I’m not putting that down first. Cause, I don’t like the meat being down there at the bottom. And then when you eat the top of the taco, you’re not getting the good stuff. I actually sometimes will break a hard taco in half and then stack it on top of each other like this. That way you can get one bite. That’s. all the stuff on the top and all the stuff on the bottom. Because sometimes when you just take a bite like this, you just get like meat and cheese or whatever. That’s my strategy. So I actually really like this. The Taco Bell lettuce bite. -Yes. – That’s what you want to avoid. Yes, absolutely. Rhett. Okay. Well, well. Well, well, well, well. So you still haven’t chosen ground beef? No. No, I haven’t. I’m leaving it out there for you. He’s leaving it out! Playing with fire. Yeah, he is, cause right now he’s just got a potato and cheese tortilla. This looks extremely bad right now. And I have a lot of hope and faith. I got the long play working. I’m excited about that. Daddy’s coming back with the skulls. Cause this looks great. So, I’m going to need you to just transmit some beams. I’m going to make a choice here that I don’t think you would make, but I think Jordan would make it and I would definitely make it. And that is black olives. Yeah. I love a black olive. I can’t do that. I love a black olive. I think it makes a taco. Throw your thing up there. It makes a taco. It makes a taco. I’m thinking about beans at this point. Love beans. Either the refried beans or the black beans. There’s one clear choice. I think it’s the refried beans. Are you gonna pick that? I can’t tell by looking at your face if that’s what you thought. You can’t tell? Yeah. Refried beans for me, Rhett. Yeah! Come on! That’s a good choice. That is the correct choice. Refried beans are just better than black beans. But black beans make you feel like you’re making a healthier choice? I don’t know if you actually are, but, maybe there’s lots of lard in this? Beans are delicious, and these refried beans are particularly delicious. I also think it’s good for you because this taco is so kind of. Horrifically dry at this point. Yeah. So we need to lube it up with something. Lube it up with some beans! We need to lube it up with some beans. These are the best beans. Best refried beans, you’re saying. Yes. They’re delicious. They’re unbelievable. And they’re really, really cheap. Alright, you’re holding out on meat. I think I’m gonna hold out on the beans choice. Let’s see if things get interesting. Okay. I don’t think people would expect that from you. Because you’re such a lover of beans. Right, but I like to throw curveballs. Okay. His dad doesn’t like beans. Okay. There’s that. How well do you know his dad? Pretty well. We have a podcast together that never airs. You and his dad? Yep. Yep. Where I just catch up with him and, he thinks that it airs. But only the one with my dad airs. Oh. That feels so mean. Yeah, I’m doing that to Rhett’s dad. I’m really doing it to get at Rhett. And I didn’t even know about it until now. So it hasn’t been working. You guys have a lot of daddy issues. Very literally, yes. A lot of dad stuff going on. Yeah. But you know what I don’t have? Corn. I don’t have a problem with choosing my favorite sour cream in the world. The El Mexicano Crema Mexicana. I discovered that thanks to Sporked and we never. It’s in the fridge because of Sporked We do too. We have it. Constantly. We have brought this on the show a hundred thousand times and I simply will not stop. It’s one of the best products I’ve ever had. You know how Sporked can change your life? Sporked has changed our lives. We have this in our fridge. Go to sporked.com to have your grocery life changed. Wow. An unsolicited unplanned plug. I love that. What is that cilantro? That stuff at the end down there? What does that say? It’s a cilantro crema. Cilantro. And I also have a spicy queso sauce. That’s true. Do I like cilantro? This is interesting. Yeah. Do you like cilantro? Do I like cilantro? Do you like it? You tell me. You do. Okay. But I don’t. Okay. Do you have the soap thing? Yeah. Okay. But you don’t? I’m not going to tell you until you select. Maybe I do, maybe I don’t. I’m going, I’m going to put the, you know what? Two spoon technique. I am gonna go for it. I’m gonna go for the, Rhett, throw this on there. I’m gonna go with the cilantro. I will. I’m in the middle of a two spoon application. It looks like you’re making little canals on it. It’s beautiful. I mean, cause this is just, it’s an interesting little zest. Yeah. And I needed that sauce. Okay. That was the right choice for you, Link. Do you think I like cilantro? An interesting thing about cilantro is you really don’t have a choice whether you like it or not, right? Cause it’s like you either have that thing that makes it taste like soap or you don’t. Unless you like soap and then you can have it and still like it. I clearly am hoping that you do. Even though I don’t like cilantro. I think I’ll like this cause it’s creamy. I don’t have to answer the question. Okay. Because it’s actually not relevant to me at this point. No, I was just curious. I’ll tell you at the end. Tell us at the end. Maybe I’ll change your mind. My guess is that you do, but I don’t know. Okay. Okay. That was my guess too. I think. Okay. That. I want to be wowed. – Yeah. – Before you finish. Just let me say that. You want to be wowed? I’m bored right now. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I get it. I get it. – I get it. – We got to do something. So, I just want to put that out there. We’ve got to do something. Well, I know where I want to go right now. Okay. I want to go to the, I actually think it works very well on a hard taco and that is the Taco Bell hot sauce. Oh. Oh, delicious. Okay. I was going to go there. I think this is a good choice because it helps to spice up the cream that I’ve got going on. So, you’re bringing the Taco Bell hot sauce home. It’s that good? Yeah. We love it. You can buy it at the store. It’s delicious. It is a very strong, solid, hot sauce. It’s very specific too. You know what I mean? Like we’re not being like, have this instead of other hot sauces. We’re saying have this in addition to, this is such a good thing on its own. It’s good to have in your house. Is that hot or medium, like? I think what’s on the thing up there. It just says hot sauce. It just says hot sauce. I was gonna take that, but now I can’t. That’s how this works. That’s true, because I took it. But, the ground beef is still up, and I want the ground beef to be here now. Okay. So now is where I wanted to put it. I actually love the technique you’re doing. Yeah, ground beef doesn’t need to be at the bottom. It needs to be right there. I think that’s so smart, and I think you play with great strategy, but I think you’re more inventive. Oh! I do. Oh gosh, okay, now you’re insulting me. I’m not insulting you, I gave you a compliment first. Yeah, that’s how you do it. I think you play with great strategy. That’s how you do it. You wanna be wowed. I think you’re great in general, but I think you’re doing kind of freakier stuff out here. I’m gonna tamp it down in a freaky way. I gotta say, I don’t agree with the beef placement. Okay. I like it on the bottom. Interesting. Cause I like to say beef on the bottom. Got it. That’s what I like to say. So, you’re a bottom? It’s a phrase I like to say. I like the beef to be on the bottom. Got it. I didn’t tell you where I was. Okay. I’m just wondering. I’m. What do you want to say? I’m turning a corner here. Okay. I’ve beefed it up. I would like corn. Love corn. Who doesn’t love corn? Yes. Corn! For color. Oh, just, okay, I was like, just for color? And taste. Okay. Bare hands? Yeah, they’re washed. Wow, I trust. It’s just an interesting way to do corn. Well, when you’re really concerned about the placement of corn. Sure. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen someone do a sprinkling of corn. Yeah, this is definitely a sprinkling of corn. I need something spicy. Even though I have a cheese, I’m now doubling up with another cheese. Spicy queso. Ol El Paso. What is this stuff? It looks like. Another finger. That’s interesting. It’s delicious. It’s like a squeezed cheese that’s a little bit spiced. It’s great on a taco. Wow! It is, it’s punching. Yeah. And I love spice, so that’s perfect. And now this taco is extremely moist looking. So I’m happy we got away from what was at the beginning. Cause that was scary. You know the interesting thing is that There’s a lot of that. That’s good. I don’t have to commit to simply having beef just on the bottom. He’s doing layers of beef. He’s trying to impress me. Yes. You, well, you said, I wasn’t getting See, I gave you. I wasn’t getting freaky enough over here. He’s basically copying me. He’s allowed to do that. But that’s what I told you before. He plays with strategy. Learning. I learned. So he let you do something, he saw how I responded to it, and now he’s doing it. – Strategy. – Unoriginality. I don’t think you can go back and put something later. Hey, Thomas Edison didn’t actually invent the light bulb. He just made you care about it. Wow. Okay. Who did? like Tesla probably. I don’t know. Oh, I was like the car company? I forgot that was a man. It was a man. Okay. I am not going to go beans. I’m going to stick you with double beans and I’m going to get a little Caesar to green it up to finish it off. Okay. I think. You’re double beaning me? You really could have used that lettuce to be honest with you. Comeback king. – That looks good. – Needed that lettuce. What I will say is your tacos are starting to get a little too tall. Yeah, they are. Yours are at a good height. So. Can I get a fork please? I just don’t love, I don’t love eating with. Actually, you know what? Do you have tongs? I’m going light If you don’t have tongs, I’ll be fine. I’ll be fine. I’m going light with the beans. Okay, a drizzle of beans. It’s nice, but. Do you want two forks to do like tongs like that? I think it’s okay. Okay. And this is just a light sprinkling. Only one of us got some greenery. Yeah. It’s overrated on a taco anyway. Okay, what are your taco toppings in a perfect world? This, this is my perfect taco. Good answer. I’m gonna stand by it. Good answer. Hash browns, refried beans, beef. Okay. Spicy queso, cilantro. Yep. And a little bit of black beans. Great, okay. And what’s your ideal taco? And he’s already said his taco so you can’t say that. I’m not going to do that because that would be pandering. Sure. I’m going to be honest with you. Thank you. I’m being honest when I say I don’t know, when I go to a place that has multiple choices. I get like three or four Okay. And, I just like things too much to narrow it down, but I will say if I have only to choose one, it will be an al pastor. Delicious. Just with cilantro onion, and green salsa Delicious. All right, try mine. Okay. Since it’s right there and then. I prepared this time. Rhett, you can try one too. All right. Hair’s going back. I’m going in. It’s gonna be juicy. – This is going to be really juicy. – It’s going to be a little spicy. It’s meaty, it’s beany, it’s tatery. It’s nice. I don’t love the hash browns if I’m being honest with you. I think it’s like a little bit too much mush with the hash browns and the refried beans. Well, there’s still crunch on the bottom of the mush. Okay. I’m not looking for notes. I think this was very good though. I loved it. Great. Delicious. Okay, moving along. Okay, ready? Yours is colorful. Corn. Lettuce. Fake meat. That’s a pretty good taco. The lettuce, you need the lettuce. You need the lettuce. I’m sorry. You need a fresh element. If you had had like, Yeah. I don’t know, diced onion or something. You really needed the lettuce. I think there should have been a greater fight for the lettuce up top. I needed the lettuce! I think nobody paid attention. I think nobody cared until the end. I knew he was overlooking the lettuce the whole time. I saw it in his eyes. Going in for another bite. You like it? It’s pretty good. I like that orange shell. The shell is very good. It’s very, makes your fingers very sticky. I like it. Okay. Are you ready for the winner? Yeah, cause it’s going to be him. – Okay, listen. – And I’m prepared. I’m emotionally prepared this time. I want it to be you. Right. Is the thing. Cause you and I are like, we’re like friends, you know what I mean? Yeah, in real life. And we are so similar and people compare us a lot and it feels like we’re kind of one unit. But I’m just not making it. I’m not. You have not been doing a good job. I’m not, yeah, I’m not, I’m not holding my end of the bargain. And so it’s hard because I don’t want him to win. Me neither and. I like him. Join the club. I do know that this is how you feel, because we talk about it when we hang out. A lot. But I just don’t understand how we’re alternating ingredients. And like he’ll pick something. I’ll pick something. I know. And then at the end it’s like, well, he’s got this nice vibrant taco and then I. I know. I don’t, like, you ever just feel like how do we get here? How do we get here? I do, right now, for you. Every time I feel like how did I get here? I think next time we do this I mean, I just wondered, did I not, did he skip me and choose some stuff? No, I think, next time you have to kind of work against your instincts. And you have to do the opposite of what you would normally do. Yep, there you go. Do you know what I’m saying? – Okay. – Okay. This is sound advice. And I really like you a lot. Oh, thank you. And I’m happy that you’re gonna win for you. Okay. I just get the sense, sometimes, that you like my fiancée more than you like me. And I understand that. She’s wonderful. I know, I understand it, because I like her more than I like me too. So I get it. I think it’s because we’re so in sync, you feel, you interpret that. Okay, this actually leaves a lot on the table for the three of us to discuss after we cut. Okay, okay. Because I love you both a lot, that being said, we all know who won. So let’s just cut. Let’s just do everyone a favor, and that’s just the end. And we’re gonna try some different stuff next time. Okay, alright, yeah. Cause both of us have already basically eaten my taco. Yeah. Basically done with mine. And I’m gonna have another bite of it too. Yeah. Get ready, our June Pin of the Month will be available this Monday, June 17th, for just 24 hours at mythical.com
