Welcome to Good Mythical More. Sporked has told you what is the best thing to get from Costco and we’re gonna taste those things and vouch for it right now. But first, we’re going to donate $1,000 to Save the Children to aid in their mission to ensure that their three global goals are met. No child should die from preventable causes, all children should have access to a quality basic education, and no child should be a victim of violence. You can join us in giving at savethechildren.org/donate. All right, Gwynedd, come on in here. Gwynedd’s gonna take us on a trip down the bulk daddy aisles. We’re going to Costco. Costco. How you doing, Gwynedd? Hi! Fellas, how’s it going? – Well, you tell us first. – We ran into each other out in public in Los Angeles. Can you believe it? It happens. Sometimes this big city feels like a small town. I think that’s so true. It was nice to see you. We just. – This was where? – Well, we’re not gonna tell you At a restaurant or a store? Well, it was more than that, we met at a cemetery. Oh you’re talking about a concert. Nope. Guess again. A film screening. I know, I’ve been to a film screening at, Hollywood Forever. Cool. What’d you see? It was Halloween of last year. I saw The Addams Family Values. Okay. I actually don’t think I’ve ever seen that movie. And I’m from the 90s. Well, we saw Seven. You like this shirt? What is it? Yeah! – Very 90s, cartoonish. – It is, it’s really cool. We watched Seven in a graveyard. Let’s have the first one. Crazy, crazy movie. It was, it was great. But I recommend it. Everyone thought that you actually saw Gwyneth Paltrow’s head in a box, but you don’t actually see it. You think you see it, but you don’t see it. Mandela effect. I like your scrunchie. Oh, thank you. It’s also available at mythical.com Look, we’re already getting started. Well, yeah. I know it’s good. It’s good to start. So we’re going to try the chicken bakes. What are these? So this is a big deal. Okay. Individually wrapped. It’s like a Hot Pocket? These are things, I’m going to be honest. I’ve never had one before. I just went to Costco for the first time in my life, like, a few weeks ago. But this is a thing that they sell at the food court, snack bar. With the hot dogs and the pizzas, etc. Hot dogs and the pizzas. They sell these chicken bakes. But, word has it that these are not really the same thing as the ones they sell at the snack bar. Okay. – This is an. – Maybe not as good? Maybe not as good. Everyone on, like, Reddit seems to think they’re not quite as good. They’re their own thing, in a way. But still good. What do we think? A pocket? It’s a really big, chicken filled, bready Hot Pocket. I did not know what to expect from this. That is weird. So you haven’t had it but other Sporked people tasted this one? No, everything else on this list we have tasted. Okay. I really just wanted, I just wanted to taste these with you guys because I think it’s so, they seemed so interesting to me. They’re very savory. What do you think? It’s definitely not bad. I like it. I like it more than I don’t like it. I like it too. You bake it for 35 to 40 minutes. The ones you get at the food court are probably fresher. Yeah, so neither of you have had this? No, no, no. Okay. So we’re all virgins. – Chicken bake virgins. – So to speak. Like, is this how much they burn, the top of the ones in the store? That I don’t know. – Yeah, that’s. – They’re real toasty. A little bit toasty. Over toasted. And someone online also said that these have green onion in them, which the ones at the snack bar don’t. I think these are good. Wow, they’re really picking them apart. Let’s see how they hold up to other things. They’re, they’re good. They’re not great. Yes. I’ve had better things in my life. Alright, so wait, we are gonna rank this stuff. So right now. This is number one right now. It’s number. It’s also the last place. So, what I’m, this is the last spot over here, so I’m putting it here. Okay. Because I predict we got some better stuff. Did you, you know, when we saw each other at the cemetery? I just come out of one of the porta potties. We didn’t talk about that. What’d you do in there? Just a number one. Okay. And, but then they have the whole, they have the whole foot powered, hand washing place, you know? They do. That’s pretty awesome. I think they’re really cool. I feel like I still think the water inside of those is dirty, though, and I can’t help it. Because they’re just next to the toilets? Well, yeah. Who wants mustard on their? Proximity to toilet. On their beef, hot dog? Sure. I’m just gonna go. Those buns look good. You’re just doing just enough mustard for the bite. I appreciate your desire to not waste mustard. Here we go. Listen. These are Kirkland beef hot dogs. Okay. These are also not the hot dogs that they serve at the snack bar that everyone’s so obsessed with. Everybody flips out about those. Everyone flips out about those. Those are the quarter pound dinner franks. That’s what those are called if you buy them at the store. These are different, but these are among our favorite hot dogs. These are great. As a, as a hot dog liker. That’s really good. If not a lover, I just don’t call myself a hot dog lover because I just don’t eat them very often. But. That’s good. That is a good hot dog. – It’s really good. – Like, really, really good. I would say that bun that they’re in is notably good too. Yeah, what buns did you guys get? Does anyone know? I really like how it’s. No? Alright. It’s really, it’s like a, it’s a wide. It’s like a wide and low bun. I think it’s also aesthetically pleasing. It’s got that little gloss on it. It’s beautiful. Drag those over to your side, cause as far as hot dogs go, we’re impressed. One of the interesting things about the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is how elaborate some of the tombs are. I know. I know. – It’s fun to walk around and, just, check them out. – Some people have, like, a whole stage. There was one guy who had, like, a 40×40 stage that was, like, you could’ve get up on the stage. And then he had a picture of himself. And then there’s a couple of people that just have statues of themselves. Do you think people would perform on that stage? I don’t know what he’s expecting. Like, maybe, a drone could land there? A drone could. Many drones. A fleet of drones could land on the helicopter. Is it that big? The stage is that big? Yeah. Wow. – Yeah, I. – Definitely, you were saying statues as well. And lots of full color pictures of people, like couples, like a husband and a wife. Full color pictures of them on their tombstone. You gave him your fork. Give me. So, I, when, because Jessie was there as well, I told her I would like our pictures on our tombstones and she should be thinking about, not because this is gonna happen anytime soon, but you need to know, like. Be prepared. You want when you looked your best to be on your tombstone. Even if you die an oldy, you want to have your, like, best look. I think about that constantly when I go to Hollywood Forever, because a lot of people pick photos of themselves when they’re old to be on their tombstones, and I don’t think I would go in that direction. Mine’s gonna be me in this scrunchie. You look beautiful. Yeah, no, but Hollywood Forever is amazing. It makes you a little more excited to, you know, die eventually. Right. It does kind of make dying seem cool. I know! I never thought about that, yeah. So first of all, I don’t think we’ve even really processed how beautiful this cheesecake is. It’s huge. It’s so fluffy, too. It’s so fluffy. How did they get that consistency down? This bite’s too big. And what is that on the top? Is that just a, is that a. Oh my God. What kind of icing is that? Is that a cream cheese icing? You know? I don’t even. I’m not even totally sure. I get so wrapped up in the. I think it is, yeah. In the innards of it. This is. And of course, this is an opportunity for you – to say once again. – Cheesecake Factory level. It’s so good. What cheesecake is. Cheesecake is the pinnacle of human collaboration and innovation. I think that I agree. It is an example. It is a singular expression of what we are capable of as a species. Makes you feel good. Yeah. This should have a beautiful tomb at Hollywood Forever, cause it’s just incredible, isn’t it? I’m gonna just have a big cheesecake that drones can land on. It’s a light, fluffy cheesecake. There are other types that are just as good that are like dense and cheesy. This is light and airy. It doesn’t even need that, though. And if you, if you, if you like the idea of light and airy, then this is your cheesecake. How did they figure, this is, this is. I’m not. Even like homemade cheesecake is not as good as this. Is it better than the hot dog? Yeah, the hot dog is a hot dog. I mean, it’s still just a, a wiener. Yep. You know what I mean? Still a tube, a tube of meat. Don’t get too excited about a wiener. Yeah, this is not like, yeah, pinnacle of human Right. Whatever we said there. This is an exquisite expression of all of that. So we also have some pasta, too. Okay, so we’re gonna try, so, also I should say, this is our number one favorite cheesecake. We tried grocery store cheesecake, that was the best, by far. It’s hard to believe how good it is, actually. Like, and we tried, like, the frozen ones they have at, from Cheesecake Factory and all that stuff. Is that one frozen? So. That’s better than Cheesecake Factory, officially. Yeah. In our opinion, that is better than Cheesecake Factory. I’m not surprised, at all. I think it’s almost as good as a Cheesecake Factory, like, like, going to the Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. I think so, too, because I think that when you go to Cheesecake Factory and you get their cheesecake, sometimes it tastes like it came out of a cooler. Do you know what I mean? Like it’s sweaty? We know a thing or two about that. We know a thing or two about that. Okay. Yeah, we did a show on the Food Network. Oh, yeah, that’s right. Yeah, yeah. They have a central factories and they frozen. They do not make the cheesecakes at the Cheesecake Factory. Taste like a cooler kind of. And then they’re thawed. They come frozen and then they, and they put the little paper in between them. to separate the slices. Then they freeze them. Then they ship them, and then there’s a little, that happens on different ones. Like there’s a whipped cream person. Oh, really? Like an actual person? Yeah. So the whipped cream happens live. Oh, so that’s what happened in restaurant. Okay. So like, okay. Because, they can’t really freeze that in a satisfactory way. That’s very true. This is also not, this isn’t our number one. This basil packs a punch. You may not want, I mean, pesto. You may not want that much. – This is like. – Very pungent. This is our best. This is the best pesto on our list of the best store bought pesto. And it is just, I’m sorry, I’m having a hard time. So this beats out like name brand pestos? Yeah. That’s a great pesto. It’s like pretty unreal. Cause it’s so punchy. What does pesto have in it? Basil and what? Basil and lots of oil. Some parmesan cheese. Garlic? Sunflower oil. Yeah, I think garlic. But that just tastes so, so fresh tasting. That’s excellent. Yeah. They’ve done a good thing here. I mean, for it to beat the name brands. Boy, it. Cost has gotta be proud, and Co is not far behind. Look how big it is, too. If you’re eating a lot of pesto. So much of it. Yeah. You can buy it in bulk at Costco. 100 percent imported Italian basil D.O.P. That’s a good question. Actually, that’s the reason that I haven’t had a Costco membership in a long time. Yeah. Is that, I don’t find, like, we run out of space, too. Like, Stevie, like you were talking about with the freezer thing. It’s like, I don’t know if we’re just not very good at Tetrising things in our fridge and freezer. But we don’t have any more room for things. And it doesn’t feel like there’s that much in there. So, like the bulk idea, I don’t think we can accommodate it. I don’t think a lot of people can, do you, like, well some people have like garage freezers and garage fridges and I think that’s the key to happiness if you’re gonna have a Costco membership card. I mean you might have to go so far as to have like a, just a freezer. – Like one of those like. – Open. A chest freezer that you can also put dead bodies in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Put the dead bodies in first, cheesecakes on top. Cheesecakes on top. Then take it all to Hollywood Forever. Yep. Okay. Bury the whole freezer. – Yeah. – What’s, what’s panko? What’s panko? Panko. Panko is a kind of bread crumb as far as I know. Okay. So, when we taste tested fried shrimp. Frozen fried shrimp. These were the best, like, by far. They’re so much bigger than other fried shrimp that you’re gonna get at the grocery, yeah. Like, these are, like, really good, right? Yeah. Shrimp. Link’s a shrimp guy, he’s cutting back on it because of cholesterol. Oh, that’s so true. I hope I’m not contributing to anything, but. You are a little bit, but. Sorry. That’s a good shrimp. I’m really sorry. The, the fried panko offsets the cholesterol of the shrimp. Right. That’s true, all doctors say that. Dip that into some of the chili sauce. It’s tasty. – It’s nice to know. – Or maybe tartar. You can get these and that you’ll like them. It’s a big box. That’s what we’re doing. We’re telling people they can get them, and that they’ll like them. There’s a level of assurance there. Is this going above the dogs? I don’t know. Those are really good hot dogs. I know. It’s a complicated. But I will say, I think I can get really good hot dogs in a lot of places. Exactly. I think we’re gonna end up moving the dogs all the way over here. Now, how does Costco treat, like, two different families trying to use the same membership? Like, how Netflix cracked down are they on us? They kill them. Right, because you know that’s what people want to do, right? Yeah. Like, how many of y’all are sharing your Costco membership? Yeah. Come on, tell us. Whoa. Everyone here. All right, FBI. Are you officially in the same membership? Or are you just taking a card? I’m just taking the card. Just taking the card. And I just run. Costco pirates. I love it. So they don’t look at your face? – So I read. – More shrimp. I also just read on the internet that Costco has 130 million members. Members. Isn’t that crazy? Like that’s a, that’s a lot of members. That’s almost half the country. It’s everyone. That’s more than the population of Brazil. Do you know that to be true? No, I think you’re getting your fun facts confused. That’s the number of people that visit Walmart every year. Right. Yeah. Okay, listen. It was worth a shot. More shrimp. What do you think? Are you, are you allergic? I don’t know. Yeah. My throat’s closing up. So we’ve had the best panko breaded fried shrimp and now are we having the best cold boil shrimp? This is the best shrimp cocktail that you can get at a grocery store. There’s it’s really hard to get a frozen, then boiled shrimp. That doesn’t taste too shrimpy if you know what I mean. Yes, there’s also a textural. Yes, it doesn’t have that pasty like, what happened? You know, what happens to shrimp. Or if you’re like biting through. Yeah, sorry. I bit this and then I dunked it. So. Yeah, I got nothing to complain about there. Shrimp boy. What do you think? Very good. They’re not as good as the panko. Not as good as, yeah. Nope, they’re not. But they’re a close second. But so good, right? And this is, is the packaging. Everything has been great, except the chicken bakes have been good. Yeah. I think that’s fair. And that’s, like I said, it’s the only one that we did not vouch for. So, that’s fine. That’s gotta make you feel good. It makes me feel real good. So here’s a humongous jug of maple syrup. Is that fun? “Sir-up”. “Seer-up”? We say “sir-up” where I’m from. Okay. I know some people that say “share-up”. “Share-up”? Yeah. That’s like saying “melk”. Some people say “melk”. “Melk” These pancakes are from where? Pancakes I don’t know about. Don’t worry about it. Just an Eggo, just an Eggo? Oh yeah, those are, oh my god, no, that’s so true. I told them which pancakes to buy. We tasted frozen pancakes on a separate occasion and we liked these ones. But! That syrup. We’re talking syrup. Is good. Is good, right? Now we were Mrs. Butterworth growing up. I know, and I still think that is delicious. But! But a real maple syrup, it’s hard to beat. I know, but that phony Mrs. Butterworth pancake syrup that tastes super buttery and weird and it’s chemicals and stuff like that is so delicious. But knowing this came out of a tree. Yeah! Just the knowledge. – Like literally. – From Canada. Wow. Really? They just put the little thing right up on a tree and wait. I know. Ingredients. Pure, organic, maple syrup. And that’s it. That’s it. They probably found a new way. Issaquah, Washington. They probably found a new way to get the syrup. They probably, they’re probably forcing it out now. They probably don’t wait for it, you know? Yeah. I wonder about that. Squeezing them trees. What like, yeah, dastardly ways they’ve come up with to squeeze them trees. Alright, this is the final one, so now we just gotta lock in our order here. We’re flipping out over the cheesecake. Yeah, I think the cheesecake is insane. Just remember all this when you go to Costco. Cheesecake is transcendent. Basil pesto is as good as you can get. Yep. I feel good about those top three. And you put the. – I mean, we could. – The maple syrup. Those hot dogs are, I don’t know, man. Those hot dogs, I think we need to bring the hot dogs up. Put the maple syrup in next to last place. It’s really, really good. All right. But I just feel like, if you get pure maple syrup from any brand, it’s gonna taste pretty good. Yes, definitely. Yeah, that’s more like a value thing. Like, it comes in that big jug. It’s from Costco, it’s affordable. It’s really good for what it is. But these hot dogs really are, kind of unbelievable. They are. We love it. Well, there you have it. I’m so happy. I’ll see you at the cemetery. Okay, I can’t wait. When we’re dead or alive? Both. I’ll dance on your, on your stage. Okay. Dance on your grave.
