GMMore 2768: Guess The Food In Black & White

Well, look at you, joining us for Good Mythical More. Glad you did it. What are we gonna do? I can’t remember. We’re going to look at foods in black and white and see if we can figure out what they are. Is that gonna be hard to do? Yes. Huh. It’s gonna be hard to do. Yeah. But first, we’re going to donate $1,000 to Black L.A Relief and Recovery Fund to aid in their mission to support community organizations on the ground working to meet the immediate and long term needs of black communities displaced by the California wildfires. And you can be your Mythical best and join us in giving at pledge.to/blackla. That’s it. Hashtag donate? Hashtag donate. Is that part of the thing? I think it might be. I don’t know if you could do that in a URL. Black L. A. Relief and Recovery Fund. You know what? It’s on the screen. Check it out. The URL is on the screen. Now welcome. So, so we, we, we tied, so we both got our, our donut hats this time. We are the Pope Nuts. Um, so what I. Or is it Pope’s Nut? Because what I’m saying about that is that it’s like Attorney’s General. Oh, yeah, yeah. Pope’s Nut. Uh, as opposed to what? Pope’s? Pope’s Nuts. Pope’s Nut? Pope’s Nuts? No, it would either be Pope’s Nuts. That has a different meaning. Or Pope Nuts. Who are we? We’re both. We’re the Nuts? If I was to introduce myself, I would be like, Hello, I am Rhett. I’m the Pope Nut. And then you would say, Hello, I’m Link. I’m also the Pope Nut. And together we are the Pope’s Nut. Or we are Pope Nuts. Like attorneys general. Yeah. You can always tell that somebody is stupid if they say attorney generals. Right? I can tell you think I’m stupid by the way you’re talking to me. You can always tell if somebody thinks you’re stupid because they start speaking like this and they end their sentence with, Right? Right? Just say yes. You look smarter than you are. Would you like to know what we’re going to do, Link? By agreeing with me. Yes? You’re looking at me now? Show us a black and white photo. Well, I was gonna say the only other donut lesson I would say is Wenschel’s is like a classic, um, like, generic, This is too much for me. You know, town donut, basically. You both said that you hadn’t had it before, but it’s kind of just like, donut. It’s better than anything. What did we say it was? Uh, you said it was Dunkin and 7 Eleven. It was the last round. And it was a pretty good donut. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it’s it’s just like middle of the road donut Yeah, it was the third one you liked. Mike was lying that it was Donut Friend back in the day? And you know, what’s crazy is looking at those answers you, let’s say, let’s say, you both liked it cause you both said, well no, you didn’t both like it because it was fake. You both guessed Krispy Kreme because it probably was Krispy Kreme and he just didn’t say anything to anyone. You doubled up another donut? Yes! He didn’t go out and get another donut from like. Oh no, he already wasn’t doing that work so why was he gonna do more work? Well, he works with Smosh now, so. Yeah, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let’s see the first black and white food. Uh, that is ham. Well, it might be turkey. No, but it has too much marbling. I’m gonna say this is ham, too. It is ham. It just is. Okay, maybe you guys are gonna be good at this. It is ham. But you see now why it might not be ham. Oh, yeah. Look how much better it looks. You’re talking to the Pope’s nut. When it’s pink. To answer your question, I would say Pope’s nut. Yeah, yeah, because you’re not, you know, stupid. We are collectively the Pope’s nut. Yeah, stupid. Okay, let’s see another one. Oh my goodness. What could that be? Persimmons. Well, I mean, I thought it was a tomato, but then, it’s not a tomato. Because. It’s a persimmon. It’s a pepper. It’s yellow. It’s pepper. It’s a pepper. It could be, it could be a green pepper, but they never have those leaves on top unless they’re in magazines. Why are those leaves like that? They look so old and hardened. It might be fake. It might be plastic. It’s persimmon. Oh! What is it persimmon? Oh, I thought that you had persimmons in your yard. What, you had a lot of fruits in your yard. And persimmons is like a very, they’re all over my neighborhood. Yeah. I don’t, and I haven’t seen it. Do you know. Are they hard? Is it like an apple? Depend — oh, no. They’re not suppo– like, in their, depending on their phase of growth that they’re in, they can be hard, but they’re harder than, they’re not as hard as an apple. Do you know what it’s called when your neighbor tells you that you can pick their persimmons whenever you want? Um Persimmon permission! Yes! For what? Presuming permission. Presuming permission. I was back here thinking of, I was back here thinking of persimmon of interest. Persimmon permission, and then persimmon mission. What do you use them for? Persimmon mission? They’re not in anything. Persimmon mission. Persimmon mission? Persimmon pie? Persimmon mission. Like, what do you put a persimmon in? Persimmon mission. You’re saying they’re all over the place. I think they go in Christmas treats. I think you just eat them regularly. What do you mean go on? They go in Christmas treats. Okay. Really? What do they taste like? They’re good. They taste like a fruit. Ah. Do you have permission from your neighbor? No. You don’t have permission? Persimmon permission. Persimmon permission. Persimmon permission. Do I have persimmon permission? We have lemons and I have, I give lemon permission. Perm, lem, let’s make a word out of that. Permlemission. Lemon. Mission per, you gotta say perm. Permanent lemon. Permanent lemon. It doesn’t work. Need a penny? Take a penny. Leave a penny. Want a penny? Do you, do people like that? Do people leave things? Need a lemon? Take a lemon. Got a lemon. Leave a lemon. Please don’t, don’t give us a lemonade. Your family has never made lemonade with the lemon. I don’t like lemonades. Well, I’m, but your family. I don’t like lemons. Likes other things. They use the lemons. Do they make lemonade? There’ll be a time when there’s like, Hey, go out and get me a lemon. Someone will go out and get a lemon, it’s nice. Next. That is a salmon sushi. Is it? That’s well, those grains, that’s not tuna, that’s salmon. It could be tuna though, I don’t know. Ha! But it’s not white. We know that. Oh, I just kind of said, ha, like, here’s the reveal. It’s tuna. Oh, it’s tuna. It’s a tuna. Yeah, I guess salmon, the lines would be even stronger, wouldn’t they? I don’t know. How about this? Okay. That is, that is wasabi. You think it’s green? Huh? It’s a giant thing of wasabi. I’m using my context clues. It could be black because remember the black sesame, uh, ice cream that we had? Yeah. But then it would be dark. Yeah, this is black and white. Yeah, you’re right. Right. So you’re saying it could like mochi, but it’s on a it’s on a thatched surface. Yeah. That you think it’s, uh. What? It’s a big communal thing of wasabi. Bless. Bless you. Bless you, son. I can do that. Pope’s Nut. Pope’s Nut. I can do that. Oh. I appreciate your usage of the context clues. I do think it’s helpful, but you are currently incorrect. I think this is, um, what? I mean, maybe it’s just vanilla. It’s not vanilla. It’s a little too dark for it. Well, I said I appreciate your usage of the context clues. Green tea ice cream, matcha ice cream. There we go. Okay, so it was green. But it was big. You did it. Mm hmm. I like that bowl. I like that little table. It’s got a little thing. You grab it with your thumb. It encourages you to put your thumb, watch out now, on the inside of the bowl. But it’s, it’s a, it’s a thumb place. Okay. How about this? Now that. It’s a melon. Is not, could that be watermelon? There’s no seeds. I think it’s a seedless watermelon. I think it is because it looks. It doesn’t, it doesn’t, it looks translucent. So it doesn’t look like it would be a cantaloupe or, uh, what’s the other one that everybody talks about? Honeydew. I think this is honeydew because if it was a seedless would still be seeds. Seedless watermelons have traces of seeds. Do they not? I don’t know the answer to this. They refuse, life finds a way, you know. They refuse to give up their seeds. I’m sticking with my guns. I’m going with seedless watermelon. I’m gonna say watermelon, too. No. Alright, honeydew. Mm mm mm mm. What is that? Pineapple? It’s cantaloupe. No, it’s the other one. Well, why is it the wrong color? It’s cantaloupe color. Cantaloupe is orange. It’s not yellow. There’s a, we have a, uh, a problem with the, um. Oh, the settings on the monitor up there? Must be that. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, we’re seeing, everybody, let’s, hold on, let me check these monitors. One, two, three. Nope. Yeah, all of them back here show the right colors. It just might be that one singular monitor. Okay. Uh huh. Uh huh. Cantaloupe. I really think the joke here with the permission persimmons thing, really, if you think about it, now that I’m thinking about it more. Don’t. But don’t. I just think it would be. Don’t have to. Like, in a movie, you would be, like, a kid would be going up to a door, and he would be nervous, and it would be like the girl from the family would answer the door to the one he has a crush on and he would be like I just wanted to get persimmon to ask for the permission like he would see would mix up persimmon and permission and he would make a fool of him so that would be hilarious in a comment. It’s not it’s cute comedy. It’s not it’s not haha. It’s like that’s funny. Yeah, a little snicker. Yeah. Yeah, he would say I was wondering if I could have persimmon to pick the permissions. That’s what he would say and everybody would be like, Oh, that’s so embarrassing, because you mixed those two words. And then, secretly, the little girl would go back in the house, and she would giggle to herself, and she would find it endearing that he got the two words mixed up. He would not know that, though. But we would see that develop. It made her like him even more. And he didn’t know that, but we do, the audience. And he basically goes into a deep, dark depression because of it. Does he kill? No. Okay. An animal? No, just like go on a spree of some sort. I don’t know. All right, let’s move on to other fruit. Oh, this isn’t fruit. That is a milk, no. It’s a, it’s a, it’s a Milky Way. It’s a Milky Way bar. It’s a nutless Snickers. Which is a Milky Way. That’s nougat and caramel. Pope’s Nutless Snickers. That’s a Milky Way bar. Uh. You’re right. You’re right. I didn’t know that Milky Way was that smooth on the top. After dinner every night for the last week, I’ve had, uh, you know how we went on that little trip? Yeah. For our friend’s birthday. Got Trader Joe’s snacks. Yeah. And we got. You took them all home. Yeah, I did, because I bought them all. You bought them. I got the salted chocolate covered almonds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. In, like, the square translucent. As a little treat for myself for finishing dinner. Uh huh. Yeah, just if I clean my plate, I go and I grab. Three? Four. Four? I’ve been doing four. Playing around with even numbers. Maybe just go for two. The reason I’m doing four is because three is a perfect number, but when you eat only three, you’re like, Man, I wish I had another one. Mm. And so when you do four, you think, okay. But now I’m thinking about just having a Milky Way. Don’t do that. That’s not a, that’s not a good trade. Maybe a piece of a Milky Way. Maybe a miniature. Maybe a fun size. Yeah. Yeah, you could do that. Okay. All right. Let’s move to soup. All right, well, I see celery, and I see, what is that sticking out? This little piece of little piece of green. I believe this may be a misinformed chicken noodle. The, the floaty, like, all the bubbles in the on the top of the liquid I don’t know. It looks, it doesn’t look appetizing in black and white, does it? I see the celery and I see whatever the green is. Is it minestrone? Could it be? I’m sticking with uh, chicken noodle cause I see some noodley type things and some chickeny type things. Well, I’ll sneeze it. Bless you. Oh, something came out that time. I believe in the past you have not been kind to this type of soup. Italian wedding soup. No. Uh, is it, uh, It looks like a misinformed version of the soup that you’ve not been kind to. There are, um, in this soup world, there are two kinds of this one particular soup. Based on location. Oh, clam chowder. Okay. New England. This is the other one. The red one. Yeah. And it’s called what? Connecticut style? Manhattan. Manhattan clam chowder. I tell ya, it looks a lot better in that coloration. I would eat that. I think it’s not a bad soup. But I recall you really leaning in hard on how you how you don’t like this soup. It’s just, it can be so good when it’s creamy. Yeah. Well when you order clam chowder and you get this and not what you thought. Oh, no, no, no, no. That’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, you could sue for that, I think. Exactly. I think that’s why we were so upset. But we’ve grown so much since then. Grown. We’re a little more open minded. Um Grown nut. We’re grown nuts. We’re the grown nuts. How about this? Well, it’s a, it is a cheese. Is it, is it just a brie? No, I don’t know anything about cheese, man. Well. Brie has a cover on it. I don’t know what kind of cheese has these little holes in it like this. I mean. Maybe it’s Swiss from the top. It’s really giving feta in this, you know? It’s crazy. Well, I’m gonna guess feta, then. No, I’m saying, because the color is sucked out, and feta is white, and it’s, you know, you could just break that, you could just crumble that up. Sometimes maybe this happens with Parmesan? But not often. I don’t know. It doesn’t happen with Gouda. I think it’s Swiss from the top. The holes are bigger on the sides. No, the holes are the same all the way through. You have named the cheese, but you said something in front of it that made you not answer it. Oh, so Parmesan. No. So, uh. You said, I don’t, you said something like, I don’t think this happens with– Gouda. Yeah, yeah. They did it with Gouda. They did it with Gouda. That’s Gouda. There’s no Gouda for me. Uh, do you know that, your wife and I went into a cheese shop. Yeah. Together and picked out cheeses. Yep, I was, I’d, I’d fled the scene. Yeah. You know. You didn’t even come join us. Because. We tasted, we tasted cheeses together. I wouldn’t have enjoyed it. We picked out cheeses. And it would have just annoyed her. And you probably. Yeah, I would have definitely been annoyed. I wanted y’all to have that time without me. We got a five year cheddar. And we got a sheep’s cheese. Neither one of those sound good to me. We tried a truffle cheese. I, I like that. We decided to not get that. We said, oh, we said Link would probably like that. Oh! So we didn’t get it. Oh, I thought you got that. Yeah. Huh. Okay. This last one is, it is perplexing. I’m gonna say it all right off the bat. Pepper, nickel, uh, banana. Banana bread. Banana bread. It looks like banana bread to me. You’re right. That’s banana bread. Why would I say it’s perplexing? Uh, ’cause it’s. Oh, because it’s carrot bread. Ah, pumpkin bread. What the heck it is? Carrot bread. Is that a thing? Carrot bread? Uh, yeah, it is a thing. We have it at the Pope’s Nut conference. It’s like carrot cake without the icing. Yeah, we actually, I guess it’s like zucchini. Zucchini bread. I mean, it makes sense as a thing. I just, I don’t know, it’s so. Doesn’t it look so glistening on top? Yeah. That’s good. You like, I like that. You like, is it too late to get into sourdough? No, sourdough was making a comebacks. Oh, good. Because I was, uh. People passing along their starters. I don’t know. I, you know. When TikTok was about to be, when, right before TikTok was banned, maybe it’s banned again now that I’m, now again, but I was like, I’ve never gotten anything off TikTok Shop, shop. And I was like. Y’all gotta do it. I gotta do something. I got a sourdough starter. Really? Yeah, I got a sourdough starter. Should I start? Is it just, uh, a bag? It comes in a flat envelope. It’s just, uh, particulates? I haven’t even opened it. It’s just an envelope. Well, you need to do it, man. You need to start. Is it too late to get into it, though? Well, you have the starter. But you have to start, to start. Exactly. It’s never too late to start if you have the starter. Mm hmm. Cause that, it starts. Okay. It does the thing that you’re questioning. Well maybe I’ll start it. That’s what it’s made for. Maybe I’ll start it. Yeah, start it. Maybe I’ll start it.
