GMMore 2864: What Soda Goes Best With Each Food?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. When you drink a certain soda, is there a best thing to eat with it? We’re gonna analyze and decide for everyone. But first, let’s play the A, B, C game with selfie caption. What? Hold on. Help me understand. Uh, so you would like take a selfie. If you take a picture of yourself that’s a selfie and you put it on the internet, you, you post it on the internet. That’s social media and it’s a caption. You, you right underneath it. That’s a caption. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright. You first. No, you first. No, you first. Australia is great. I don’t accept that. Okay. I think you’ve lost already. What’s that have to do with a selfie? You’re in Australia? Yeah. Oh, okay. I accept that. Keep going. Bolivia is great. Croatia is great. Dominican Republic is great. Ethiopia is great. Fog Hat is great in concert. Oh, green Day is great in concert. Hey, that’s my face. I’m so happy to be here. Just get a load in my face. Knock, knock. Who’s there? Me. You can’t. Oh no. No, you can’t. Who’s there yourself? Oh yeah. You can’t, you can’t who’s there yourself. Oh, you can’t. In the caption. Yes, you can. You can. That’s acceptable. What letter are we on? Oh, he lost. So we’re gonna go through the– I’m not, who’s there? Me. Hey, that’s a really good selfie caption. That’s a good selfie caption. Come on. Now. That’s really, if you could do it, but you can’t, uh, where’d you get this? Because these are hard to find. Mellow yellows are just not as popular as they should be. There’s a thing that we do on this show, and that is we have a thing that we say when a certain thing happens. It’s like men who’ve woken up from a concussion, and I’ll always say the same thing over and over again when we’re in faced with the same situation, I started noticing people say, I can’t tell you how many times Rhett and Link have said this thing in encountering this situation. Yeah. And every time we encounter Mellow Yellow– Wait, we’re true to ourselves, we say. These are hard to get. You know what? We used to love ’em. We’re gonna keep doing that. We, because we follow our instincts. How many, tell ’em how many you drop. I, you know what I would do? I would get home, I would take Mella Yella and they weren’t even in the fridge. They were next to the potato, uh, box. And I’d take ’em room temp is 95 degrees outside. I’d come in, I grab one, shotgun it, and then I get another one. Crack it over and savor that one. Sip it. I’d double mellow yellow. That’s what I would do. I’ve told that story a few times and now the only place you can get it is at a…. Internet. No, the movie machine. Can I tell you what happened to me? I have, You know what I talk about how much I love a Coca-Cola freestyle machine. I don’t know how I said Coca-Cola, but you know what I mean. Mean I went to the movies, I saw two movies this past weekend. Did you only pay for one? No, I don’t do that. Oh. It was two separate nights. I went to two different AMCs. I’m a, I’m a big fan of the AMC because they’ve got the Coca-Cola freestyle machine. Yes. But I went to the amc. Sorry, can you tell us what you freestyle again? What’s your, do you have a go-to freestyle or you do, do you actually freestyle caffeine free Diet Coke. Now if they, sometimes they’ll have, that’s what you’re, when you say, I’m a big fan of the freestyle machines. Caffeine free diet coke. That’s what you make yourself with cherry and vanilla in it. Okay. Okay. All right. But the key is a caffeine free. I went to two different AMCs. One on the west side. I went to the Century City Mall. The Century City Mall. What a mall. Can we give it up for that mall? I mean, it’s the mall that makes malls, malls. You know what I’m saying? It’s like it’s so great over there. It’s the best mall in the world. It gives me hope that malls will never die. I went to the AMC over there. Malls will die. And by the way, so are movies. Dude, you’re on a– First of all– Losing side of things. No, no. Movies are over. Movies are back. Movies in the theater are back. And I leaned over to my wife when I was watching one of the movies that I was watching and I just said, look how big her head is. Like literally in the room, not like she’s got a big head as an actress, I was like, just her head is eight feet across right now and I can’t get that anywhere else. Yeah. I love the fact that her head is so big. He loves bighead women. I do. And I just, I just thought to myself, you, this is why we need movies to be in the theater. We don’t need to, it’s not the same at home. It’s not the same on your phone. It’s not the same anyway. The women’s heads are smaller. The Coca-Cola freestyle machine was out of caffeine free Coke. The only thing it had in the caffeine free section was Fanta zero. And Sprite Zero. Not a bad thing. Fanta, that’s a crush. I, that’s not what I wanted. And then I went to the AMC in Burbank, which is the typical theater for me. Yep. They’re outta caffeine free Coke too. What’s happening? What is happening? Isn’t that what everybody wants? I think. I think nobody wants it. Who’s who? Who? Who’s drinking caffeine at the seven o’clock movie in here? A lot of people because it’s the only thing in there. And then what? And then what do you do next after the movie? Stay up all night. Anyway, they were out. But I love a big headed person on the screen. That’s what happened to you? ’cause that’s how you started this story. Yeah. What happened was is they didn’t have caffeine free drinks. Okay. And you know, who else was mad? Something didn’t happen to you. My wife, Jesse and I were so mad we almost walked out because she was like, I’m just gonna get a water. Like she didn’t even want Fanta. But you got, I got Fanta. It probably tasted good. It was okay, but it wasn’t the same. What did we used to drink with the eat with the meow yellows? Let’s just start there. Since we’re already here. Everything is the answer. Pretty much everything. Spaghetti. But if you, if you think about, I mean, just gonna drink it and think about what I want to eat. Okay. You’ll, you know, you can drink out of that one. Anything, everything, pretty much nothing. Actually. I don’t want to eat anything. I just wanna enjoy this. I don’t, nothing. Typically enjoy soft drinks. Well, I do get a Diet Coke at a restaurant. Uh, I will get a Diet Coke, so at lunchtime, not at dinner. To me a Coke, like if you’re thinking about Coke, peanuts. You know that’s a classic. Have y’all done that? Put peanuts in your? And you don’t have to put ’em in the bottle. Well, yeah, but is that, well, I guess it’s not, yeah, of course that tastes good. But is that your like, Hmm. What I could really go for right now? I think Coke is a burger for me. It’s a burger. Yeah. I just love a coke and a burger. Yeah. I could go for that. Dr. Pepper. We drink so few sodas. It’s hard. I don’t drink that Dr Pepper. I feel like for some reason fries with coke. That’s a good choice too. Stand. Stand out better than Burger Peanut with Coke. Same principle, like the saltiness of the fry. Yeah. What do you want with the burger milk? Hmm? Well you want the burger with the fries and then you want the coke with the fry fries, so yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s the associative property. Dr. Pepper. It doesn’t need a companion. It’s so specific. I just have, I just enjoy Dr. Pepper on its own. It’s, I have some Reddit, uh, opinions, which are always great. Oh, you know, that would help us. This is hard, actually. Give us something to bounce off. Yeah. This is, I don’t mind this one about Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper and Barbecue from rootmeal. You know what, that’s pretty good. A good, okay. Speaking of that Century City Mall in the food court. Cedric the entertainer and Anthony Anderson have opened up a barbecue place. And what’s it called? It’s called a, it’s something to do with it, like AA or something. This is to be clear for everyone who doesn’t live in la the Century S Mall is like the most LA. Mall that could possibly exist. The food court is like, I love it. The most LA situation, I love it there. They have every store. It feels lively and bright and there’s no like just empty places where, you know, I went to the one over in Pasadena where the Arclight used to be. That place is a ghost town. It makes you feel depressed. Well, it’s, it’s the century city mall’s like designed like not a mall. It’s like how can we make this seem like not a mall. It’s got Eataly. You’ve seen eat Eataly? Yeah. It’s a great mall. That’s part of the mall. Would I drive over there? Probably not. I have to an hour drive rhe. I have to go over there periodically. That’s where my eye doctor is and so, and I typically go to my eye doctor at the end of the day on a weekend. Yeah. And so I’m just like, well, I’m here. At the end of the day on a weekend? Like on Friday, like heading towards, okay. And so I’ll take, uh– so your eyes won’t be red for shooting stuff. Right? I, because I get this eye treatment that makes my eyes red, and that’s why if you see me at the Century City Mall on a Friday night, I’ll have on some like tinted sunglasses. It’s not because I think I’m cool, it’s that I don’t want you to think that I’ve just been. Like smoking a fat blunt. You’re and your eyelid– But ironically, you would also be wearing the sunglasses if you had just smoked a fat blunt. That’s true. So here’s the thing, I had, I’ve had, I’ve stopped at that, at Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainers barbecue place twice now. AC barbecue. AC, ’cause Anthony and Cedric. And the first time I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was good. They, they’re in Arby’s by the way. The, this, the AC is? Yep. Oh my goodness. Yep. Their barbecue, or at least their sauces are in Arby’s. Well, they have a sandwich called pillows on a pa, something, I can’t remember. It is, it’s a rib sandwich. They take St. Louis ribs, they take the meat off of the ribs, put it on a sandwich, and you get a sandwich. It’s just like a Mick rib, but like way better than it actually. Does it have onions and pickles? Uh, no. I can’t remember. Why would they do that? It is so good. So I, I had that, I was living large. I still don’t understand why you’re going to a mall and enjoying it. Like I going, you don’t like to shop at a mall. I was going to the movie and first of all, my wife, she likes to, she likes to shop at a mall and I like to support that. By sitting on a strategic couch? I like to eat and I like to watch movies. And they also have an escape room that I went to one time. Ugh, that too. Ugh, mall’s and escape rooms. and it was great. You’re coming up, down, down. You’re by yourself. I’m not a downer. No. I went with a group of 12 men. They have this store called camp, and you go in and it’s like a Disney store. It’s like merch and stuff. And then you go to the back and they open a secret door and it takes you down to a whole underground little mermaid wonderland. Are you making this up? No, it’s crazy. I’m just telling you, it just keeps getting better. I, I believe in malls. I believe in malls. I believe in movies. I believe in food courts, and I don’t want ’em to go away. I don’t believe in malls. I’m a downer. And do you think, I’m sorry. Do you think Dr. Pepper pairs well with barbecue? Possibly, yes. I feel like that’s right. Yep. This person also says a Philly cheese steak, which also seems pretty right. Crimson Scorpio. I do that. This person says Red vines. Mm. With what? With, with, uh, well, Mr. Pibb, they said. So that’s, yeah. Okay. I can see, I think Pepsi pairs well with gas fumes in an old Chevy Pepsi. And peanuts, though not so much, doesn’t have that bite of a Coke. You need to get the bite from the, from the gas fumes. Does Pepsi have a freestyle that they call it something else? No. Mm-hmm. Like Pepsi playtime? Yeah, that’s what they should call it though. Pepsi. Pepsi Playtime. Okay. This person’s talking about Pepsi when it was at Pizza Hut. Pepsi and Pizza. Mm. And pizza. Pepsi and Pizza. Ooh, that’s real good. Pizza hut. Especially. Yeah. I feel that. Uh, after a game, after a football game, who else carries? I think Taco Bell is Pepsi and this person says Carolina Chili Cheeseburger. Yeah. With Pepsi? Yep. Yeah. Like a Carolina double, double shot. I like that. Spi. Oh, there is a Pepsi Freestyle situation. What’s it called? What’s it called? Pepsi Spire. Oh, y’all gotta work on that Spy spire. Sounds religious. Go to the Spire. Um, party. Party time. Party. Party, party fountain. Pepsicular cancer. That’s good. That’s good. Sorry, I don’t, but hold on. You don’t like– I’m brainstorming! You don’t like seeing movies in the theater? I just… I, I like seeing movies in the theater. It’s just so good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m just doing it more and more. Sometimes. More and more. Uh uh, let’s go with the, uh, crush. A grape drink. Grape drink. I think it goes good with a car wash. Hm. Like one of those car washes you drive to, but not through. You have to do it yourself. I think sitting out there cracking open a crush. Scrubbing your, your fender. Oh, I like that. I know it’s not food, but this is as close as I can get as activities. I think it’s so sweet. I think you just have to put sweet on top of it. Eat another, eat a candy with it. Really? Yeah. I think you just go. You just go all in. What about peanuts there? ’cause you got the peanut butter jelly. Peanut butter jelly. Yeah. I mean that’s something we’ve heard of Reese’s peanut butter cup with this, which is still sweet. Okay. I think that would be you. Perfect. What’s Reddit said? Reddit has not talked about this. Great. Or at least still don’t have in general, get yourself a, well, I’m sure. Let’s about grape soda in general. Liquid pb and j do they do a caffeine free diet grape soda? No, it’s just not. Is there caffeine in that? Oh, this is caffeine free. So can you get a grape crush? Zero. Zero, is there, is there a diet grape drink? I don’t think so. It just goes against the ethos of grape drink. It says they have a diet grape crush in Canada. Well, we gotta take a trip in Canada. Might be worth it. Sprite, what do I associate with Sprite? I don’t know. Lemony? No, this says, um, I fish and chips because you put lemon on your, I guess, fish and this says curry. I don’t know. I just, it’s like Brit. This is like Brits talking about. Yeah. Well, what’s good, like with a hot curry? If you go eat a hot curry, what do you typically get? Is your drink with that? I think like a yogurt drink. One of those. Maybe a fermented yogurt drink. Yeah, but that’s not real. I mean, that’s a, that’s almost a side different, different genre. Dessert. But like for like your actual, like hydration. Well, you don’t, I’m not one to, it’s something spicy. You don’t wanna drink water, have a beverage with a, a meal. I don’t know why. Like Coke and fries to me is like a yeah thing, but like I don’t, I don’t know why I don’t, I don’t drink a lot as a, as a consumer. I don’t either. I, I drink around the meal, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that makes it a treat, and I don’t know if this is true, but it seems like your stomach acids work better when you don’t put other liquids down there, even though I think it’s fine. It just feels like, yeah, I don’t know the science on that. Yeah. And I’m not gonna look it up. Um, which way you want to go? Let’s go with Mountain Dew, let’s go to Barqs. And you, last time we talked about barks, I talked about the can and how great it was. Ice cream. Um. And I just think I stand by that. Look at that. Look at that. Beautiful. Can it? It’s a beautiful can. That’s the best thing about it. It’s definitely not the taste. I think. What if you, yeah, it’s beautiful. It’s a beautiful taste. Would you, would you drink it and eat ice cream but not mix the two? You’d end up mixing ’em in your mouth either way. Yeah. There you go. Taste it. It’s good. It says it on the can. I went to somebody’s house recently and they had this, um, Sencha. Do you know about this stuff? Sencha. You were there. Oh yeah. That’s why it was ringing a bell almost. Um, it’s like a, you know how like you watch these, what is that? These TikTok videos and there’s people who drink kava, like those people. Oh yeah. It’s the, it’s not kava, but it feels like it might be, I didn’t look it up, but he was siring it as if it was liquor and it’s presented as liquor, but it’s not alcohol. But it’s for like somebody who might want to feel a little bit relaxed. It’s got GABA in it. Oh, okay. Like that. What, like the drink that we tested that. Yeah. Yeah. And uh, they were making like little cocktails with it that are kind of mocktails and they had a Barqs, they had one barks in their fridge and we used it to make, uh, there were three different cinches. There was, maybe we should try it on the show. There was a gold one, a black one and a other one. I mixed it with some ginger beer. It was quite refreshing. Did it work? I didn’t notice anything. I got kind of relaxed, but I don’t know if it just was, I just was relaxed. It wasn’t like, oh, I’m feeling something. Yeah, I think root beer with like a thick cut, uh, a chip, like a house chip, you know, like where they’re like, we make our own chips here. And they’re like, you know, that rarely works, but they gotta be thick because sometimes they do ’em thin. And it’s like people who make their own chips. They’re all greasy. Oh, no. Restaurants, not people. Oh yeah, the restaurants. They’re always too greasy. Greasy, good. Like the best version of that chip with a nice root beer. I’m not taking you to restaurants. I’m not taking you to the mall. I’m sorry, I’m not taking you to, I’m sorry. The movie theater, the food court, that’s the escape room or housemaid. They have an escape room there that is only murders in the building themed. And you don’t have to call– The most LA mall. You don’t have to be caught up on the show in order to watch. And you know what? Me, and it wasn’t me and uh, 12 men, it was me and seven men. It was eight of us. And, uh, we endeavored to not use any hints. And uh, we were told, and maybe they tell everybody this, we got out and they said, no one has done, uh, that. No one has done this without any hints. So we went out and then we saw a movie and the heads were so big on the screen. Deck out your ride with our new car drop.
