What are the YouTubers eating when the
cameras aren't rolling? Is it food?
>> Welcome back to Mythical Kitchen, where
we all got to eat.
>> And we all got to eat.
>> We [laughter] all got to eat. We have a
really cool new t-shirt. It is a charity
collaboration with No Kid Hungry. Go to
mythical.com. Check out the shirt. We're
We're very proud of it. A portion of the
proceeds go to No Kid Hungry. Check it
out. Um, but hey, check it out. We We
all got to eat and so do Good segue
here, our other YouTuber friends. and we
asked them what they eat when they're
struggling and they all told us and now
we are going to make some of those foods
and [music] rank them. Um, last time we
did this it was with Trevor and we did
find out that there was a gas [music]
leak in the kitchen. So, Vibes might
have gotten a little bit crazy.
>> WHY DOES EVERYBODY THINK I'm crazy? I'm
the only sane one here.
>> We've uh all been checked for
neurological disorders and they said you
got most of them. And so uh now we're
back and we promised to be a lot more
buttoned up during this EPISODE. I FEEL
EXTREMELY CALM TODAY.
>> I have so many buttons.
>> Yes. Yes. Let it fuel you.
It's back.
>> It smells good.
>> All right, Josh. Take it away in three,
two, one. Thanks so much, guys. Hey, so
we're Uhoh. So, we're back here. We are
making more of our friend struggle
meals. Let me pull out my phone that has
the single best phone case sticker that
I've ever put on it. I said that out
loud to analysts in my office. cuz they
said, "I think this is the best phone
case sticker I've ever had." And it's
really cool cuz it's our sticker and
also a portion of the proceeds go
towards No Kid [music] Hungry. It says,
"We all got to eat on." Yeah, it says,
"We all got [laughter] to eat on it."
I'm losing my marbles over here, man.
Uh, but it's very cool. Go to
mythical.com if you want to get a very
cool [music] phone sticker. It's not
just a sticker for phones. You can stick
it on anything. You can stick it on a
potato. You can stick it right on this
counter. You can stick it on your shoe.
>> Hello, mythical kitchen. I'm
>> Hey, Courtney Miller. And this is my
struggle meal. Okay, you're going to
take two cans of tuna, two cans of tuna,
fish water,
>> put the meat, the fish meat into a
Tupperware, add some mayonnaise, mix
that up, and then some soy sauce, a
healthy amount. Then you mix
>> soy sauce, mayonnaise, two cans of tuna,
drain the fish water,
>> and then I eat it with tortilla chips.
>> I've been eating this since I was a
child. And the soy sauce was a newer
addition in my adult life.
>> Proud of you, Courtney. And it's very
good. I had it today. Was I struggling?
No. And the reason why I put it Well, I
was struggling today, but not [laughter]
The point is
>> Courtney suddenly uh suddenly
questioning their entire life.
>> The reason I put this in a Tupperware is
because I don't eat all of it.
>> Smart. And then Smart. I do this all the
time in the fridge and then it tastes
even better the next day. I'll talk
about why scientifically and it's all
cold glutamate. Get the tortilla chips
out again the next day.
>> Almost always glutamate.
>> Number two, when you're struggling a
little bit less because you're just
excited for this yummy, yummy tuna
[music] dinner. High protein, high
struggles.
>> High protein, high struggles. That's the
mythical kitchen motto. That's always
been get our new sticker that says high
protein, high struggles on here. Um, I
love this for a couple reasons. one, if
you're already struggling, uh whether
you know you're talking about mental
health, uh or even money, buying in
bulk, making multiple servings at once,
that's always good. Um but you only got
to cook once for the struggle. And then
you have struggle leftovers that you can
taste your previous sadness or mania or
whatever is going on in the Tupperware
the next day. And the flavors will be
more developed because of the way that
comeo because you you can um so the it's
weird having a camera on your head. I
don't know. I just felt like I went over
here. I need to explain to someone. I
freak out. It's like when we tried to
put a collar on my cat to walk him
outside so our neighbors could see our
cat.
>> You're one of those.
>> We tried.
>> Oh no.
>> But he but he freaks out. He goes here.
He like he's he's here and he won't
move. And that's how I feel with this
thing on my head. Cans of tuna. Okay. I
need cans of tuna. I need mayonnaise.
Can I use this mayonnaise?
>> Guys, this is weird. Guys, this is
weird.
>> Egg yolk.
>> It's just cured egg yolk sitting open
air in our fridge.
>> Yeah.
>> That's crazy.
>> Have a bite. That's how it dries out.
What do you mean it?
Are you doing it? Oh god. Okay. Wait.
Uh, this isn't struggle mayonnaise. This
is rich people mayonnaise. Got that. We
need some tuna.
Tuna. Tuna in a tear.
Oh, dude. These are the best tortilla
chips. They're not even expensive
either, but Collie Dodd, you do good
work. Tell me what is your favorite
tortilla chips.
All right, we got the Tupperware. This
is not a Tupperware. This is Rubbermaid.
Tupperware is a competing brand to
Rubbermaid.
I need a can opener. I got a couple
different kinds. Have no idea how this
guy works.
This is crazy.
What are we in the Jetsons?
I said, what are we What are What is
this? The Jetsons? No way. Jose, that's
[laughter] not There's no knife on it.
That's No. No. I'm doing this one. Going
this guy. I think this guy works. There
we go. So, we're supposed to drain the
fish water. I would argue there's some
protein in the fish water you should
drink, but that's fine. You guys ever
just blended tuna into a smoothie? There
was a time when I was really struggling
once. I had a a crazy dental emergency
and I was not allowed to chew food for a
month. That's while I was working at
Mythical, too, before Mythical Kitchen.
But I was mostly at that point um
blending cans of chickpeas and cans of
tuna. Sometimes I'd use cod and then I
was drinking it with a boba straw out of
a deli cup. really creeping everybody in
the office out. So, you got to get tuna
out
almost. Really, I will say tuna is very
close to cat food, but not in a way that
makes me dislike tuna. In a way that
makes me very curious about cat food.
I got to sometimes leave thoughts
inside, but I'm not going to do that.
Um, what happened is yesterday I was
fixing Lyman's food dish, right? And and
and all of it is a little pate and it
just kind of came out in one go. And I
looked at it and I was like, I can just
put that on a baguette. There's no
differentiation between cat food and
human food. Do you guys know what I'm
talking about? Please.
>> No, we don't eat cat food.
>> I I don't eat cat food either. But I'm
saying the cat food is just like ground
up meat and liver. That's what French
food is. You at any beastro, you get
pata. That's just the same as what
they're putting in the cat food. It's
just seasoned more better. So, we're
going to add a little bit of soy sauce.
Now, Courtney said that this is a new
addition for her. Wow. This is still
drier than a Subway tuna. You know what
I mean? I think what you got to do is
stir this more aggressively. That way,
you're breaking up the dry tuna fibers
and getting more mayonnaise and soy
sauce in there. Bam. Tupperware locked
and loaded.
Putting this in the fridge. Getting some
tortilla chips in there.
I almost fell a little slippery.
Oo, the soy sauce is funky.
>> Wow, it's the first time I've seen you
clean up.
>> I'm turning a new leaf.
>> Oh.
>> Oh. Oh, you're spraying now.
>> Got to clean your station in between so
much. [applause]
>> [applause]
>> Now you got to do [laughter]
it's a three-part, but then you have to
rinse with your pill plain water so you
don't get cleaning solution on your
food. Oh, everyone wants Josh to clean
up in theory, but you all want to go
home as well. [laughter]
Here we have it. Courtney Miller tops
infamous tuna mayonnaise soy sauce salad
served with tortilla chips, but also
kept in the fridge for the next day.
Bam. Struggle meal down. Listen, not
every struggle meal is going to save you
money, but I know something that can.
I'm excited to talk to you about our
sponsor for this portion of today's
episode, Chime, the number one most
loved banking app from your number one
most loved food show host as voted by
people in this office while I stood over
their shoulder and watched them vote.
Chime's high yield savings account earns
while you sleep. And right now, they're
offering a $350 bonus. I grew up not
knowing anything about money. Literally,
my dad would have to drive to a check
cash cashing place in a strip mall to
cash [music] his check every month. And
so, I never actually knew how to save
money. I never knew that you could grow
your money literally while you sleep.
That was all very foreign to me. And I
had to learn that all from scratch as I
grew up. So, having something like Chime
where you can save money in a very
passive way, in a way that makes a lot
of sense and is intuitive, frankly, it's
something I wish I had a lot earlier in
my life. All right, check it out. I'm
going to throw some numbers at you that
I promise are important. Now, a regular
savings account usually gets you 4% APY,
while Chime gets you 3% APY. So, now
you're saying, "Josh, what the heck does
that mean?" And you talk about how
you're not good at math. I'll give you
an example. If you had $10,000 in a
Chime [music] high yield savings
account, you'd earn about $300 a year
just by letting it sit there. I mean,
give me one reason you shouldn't do
this. And Chime is [music] always trying
to save you more. You can do roundups on
your purchases. So, that protein shake
that you bought for $6.22, man,
inflation's crazy. That is how much they
cost now. Well, it rounds up to $7 and
it saves the rest. [music] Over time,
that really makes a difference. Click
the link in the description box or scan
the QR code on screen to get started
with Chime today. Right now, you can get
up to a $350 bonus through this link. It
only takes a few minutes and you can
start growing your savings for that next
big thing. And thanks again to Chime for
sponsoring this portion of today's
episode.
>> Hi, I'm going to cook Caleb's struggle
meal. The GoPro feels very natural on my
head. Okay, let's see what he's doing.
>> What's up everybody? Josh asked me to do
this weeks, potentially months ago, and
uh I did a really bad job, but now I'm
finally doing it. My struggle meal, I
don't know if this counts as a struggle
meal. I know that there's a little bit
of cooking involved, but it like barely.
You take like a Polish sausage from the
grocery store, like one of those ones
that comes in like a semicircle wrapper,
uh sauté it, and then you pour in a can
of uh uh black beans drained of the
juice. Uh oh god, I got to go. So quick.
Uh uh. And then you microwave rice and
then you put some kungpow sauce on all
of it and mix it up. And then you put
some onion in there if you want to. And
I'll buy the pre- chopped onion cuz I'm
not cutting that And it's a little
stir fry. And it's delicious. Okay. Bye.
>> That doesn't sound like stir fry to me,
but it does sound like he's struggling.
So, let's get a pan eating.
>> Can we try one more time? I [laughter]
just feel like what if you look like you
have like a gun to your head right now.
>> Okay. Sorry. Okay, we had to do a little
hair makeup, but it's better now. I'm
going to go get some rice, black beans,
some Kungpow, we got Panda Express, and
then
this is a bag.
Is it a bag?
I've never cooked minute rice before.
No, it's just rice.
It
It's fine to just eat raw. I'm just
going to eye it. It's like one to one.
Okay, my pan's burning.
Put some water in here. One, two, three,
four, five, six.
I'm out of breath.
Okay, put this in for a minute. Is it
five? It just says cover microwave on
high. For how long? A minute. Is that
what it's called? Minute race. Ready in
5 minutes. I'm just going to put it on.
Let's see.
And then I put 2 minutes. Better safe
than sorry.
We have some pre- chopped onion. I feel
like I need to fix my ears. This is a
Hillshshire Farm Polish kiobasa.
And we're just going to chop this up.
Can somebody punch me in the face? say
feels something.
>> Josh,
>> huh? I'm trying to buy vintage magazines
from 1995.
>> Can you punch me in the face?
>> No.
>> Oh, I'm Josh and I'm a feminist.
[laughter]
>> I support women of all women's.
>> Okay. Oh, thank you. Do I look natural
cooking?
>> Okay. Wow.
Is this better?
Okay, I'm cutting this. It's hard cuz
it's in a semicircle.
It's cuz it's attached to my ears. It's
my head shape.
>> WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING?
>> IT'S MY HEAD SHAPE. I CAN'T HELP MY HEAD
SHAPE. I was left in the crib
in the orphanage and my head is like a
weird shape now cuz no one took me out
of the crib.
There were too many kids, not enough
employees. [laughter]
I feel like he didn't have nice knife
cuts, so I'm just going to really give
it a nice rough chop. Do you see it in
the GoPro?
Help me check my rice.
It's 2 minutes. It could be overcooked.
Is it perfect?
>> No.
>> Okay, I'm going to add supposed to be a
minute. I do one more minute.
>> I thought this was going to give like a
face look. Facelift look appeal, but
it's going further down. You want me to
lift it up?
[laughter]
Okay, now we're cooking. I feel like I
can stand up straight. Okay, we have
pre- chopped onion. [music]
Convenient. Don't want to cry today.
Black beans.
Where's that? Okay, is this the can
opener that Joshua was having a hard
time with? That's Tony's favorite one.
This is a good one because you can
freak. Wait, it's not working. Okay,
we're just gonna use a regular one.
Is it good? Oh, I put Okay. Can you keep
it going? Put the whole can in there
like that. I mean, this sounds nice.
Sweet, salty, smokeoky.
This is like a nice little mush. And
then we have the onion. Feel like that's
good. Not too much. Stir [music] fry
this. Kungpow sauce.
Okay.
It's still raw. They lied. Was I
supposed to do something else? Oh, cover
>> [laughter]
>> I love Panda Express, specifically at
the airport, like right before a flight.
You're just like sitting there with a
belly full of Panda Express, but the
kind of is like the best tasting food
in the airport. I'm going to eye it.
I've been eyeing everything, I guess.
I'm going to put the rice in.
I think it'll finish cooking in the pan.
Okay, it's a little wet. I hope this is
like exactly how it looked. Why are you
laughing? Doesn't it look good?
This is Caleb struggle meal with minute
rice, kiabasa, black beans, kungpow
sauce, and pre- chopped onions.
>> Thanks, Chris. You're so funny, man.
>> It's going to rain.
>> Yeah.
>> Don't show me. Don't show me. DON'T SHOW
ME.
>> [laughter]
>> I'M SO SORRY. I don't know. It was a
Family Guy reference. You remember the
man? Yeah. Yeah.
>> Ollie. Ali Oxenfree. What's that guy
say?
>> I don't know, man. Was that what you
wanted out of that?
>> Yeah, I did actually. Okay, bye. You can
leave. Yeah. Thanks. Okay. Bye. Um, I'm
struggling today cuz one, I have this
thing on my forehead and it makes
[music] me look mad permanently.
>> Okay, so I'm going to be making our
favorite guest. His name is Kevin Lang.
You guys know him. He's really funny.
He's I don't have volume. Hold on. I
listen. I watch videos in silence over
there.
>> Short for mental picture. Uh my struggle
meal. I don't really struggle in the
kitchen since I'm a a chef myself, but I
would say take a piece of bread, toast
it, take it out, toast it again, bring
it back out, put it in a pan, spread
some shredded cheese on there. Got to be
Kobe Jack.
>> Struggle meals. Two. Take seven. Mark.
Second stick six.
>> As long as that's
>> Then take some tomato. Put it on top.
Crack two eggs or one and a half egg
based on the serving size. And then
[music] once you switch it up together,
take it out, flip it, add a little bit
of everything seasoning on the back.
Slice it up. Serve it. Trust me, you'll
thank me later.
>> He said that whole thing with floss in
his pan. Also, what did he even say? All
right, let's get some bread.
Uh over here there's uh I'm just going
to take this whole tray. It has my name
on it. Vener, that's me. Let's go get
some eggs. Shoo. Shoo fly. What are you
doing? What am I getting? Oh, this also
has my name on it. It has Josh's name on
it. See, he was supposed to be in this
bit. Okay, I'm going to try to follow
Kevin's directions exactly as he said.
We'll get this pan going.
I'm assuming he's toasting it with some
kind of butter. What are you doing over
there? I'm ham mopping. [laughter]
Hey, go comb your hair.
Okay.
Okay. I have everything that he actually
said written down because I don't know
what he said, so I had to write it down
like a normal person. I'm going to toast
this in this pan. He didn't say to put
anything in it.
I'm going to put butter in it. That just
makes sense, right? I feel like
everybody's struggle meal has a lot to
do with bread cuz that's the one thing
everybody keeps, right? Like I keep it
in my freezer. [music] Anybody else?
>> Yeah, grandma style.
>> Um, I'm gonna take a piece of bread and
I'm gonna toast it.
I have my bread. I toasted it. I'm going
to put it back. I need a plate.
>> Hey, Lily, can you reach this cabinet?
No. Okay.
She just wants to do whatever she want
today, doesn't she?
>> I'm getting the top down.
>> Okay.
Toast it again. I did that. I'm going to
bring it back out like the instructions
say. The next step says add it to a pan.
I did that. Okay. Add shredded cheese
and slice to Oh, shoot. I should have
sliced tomato. I'm slacking.
Why don't we cut more on the counter?
Isn't this what these kind of counters
are for? Do we know? Who knows? I do
this at home when I'm like super lazy.
We clean these every day. Like, you
should be able to cut on this, right?
Right, Lily?
>> Yeah. Okay. standing on it. Okay, we're
going to put that back over there. We're
going to grab our KBY Jack cheese. We're
going to put just a mountain of cheese
on this. I'm going to put two tomatas on
it. And then it says in a crack eggs in
a pan and whisk. Okay, hold on. I mean,
if you say so, Kevin. I'm going to just
put these in here.
Yeah.
He said to crack them in the pan, but he
never said to take the bread back out. I
follow instructions, everybody.
And he said whisk it in the pan.
We're going to do one of these.
We're going to We're just going to do
one of these. I feel like this is going
to burn, right? That'll make no sense.
Okay, we'll put it back in the pan
[music] as he instructed.
I'm just going to do one of these.
Kevin, what are these instructions?
This is going to be a little ugly, guys.
You know what? We're not even going to
use that egg. Nope. We're not even going
to use that egg. All right, we're
putting the toast back in as instructed.
And it says to then flip it. Wait, you
know what? We're just going to do this.
Okay, now we take it back out. That it's
probably burnt.
And then Oh, I missed a step. It said to
then flip it.
Okay. and add the bagel seasoning.
That looks right. That look I think
Kevin would [music] be proud of that.
And there you go, guys. Kevin Lang
struggles toast.
>> I can't be the only one who's thought
about eating cat food. Statistically,
>> I think about it a lot.
>> I don't doubt that I think about it.
Anyways, here is Courtney Miller Topps
>> cat food.
>> It's not cat food. This is tuna that is
mixed with mayonnaise and soy sauce and
you can eat a half portion of it and
then save it right in the Tupperware
that you made it in. Microlastics be
damned. Give me them macro plastics.
There you go. Chip for everybody.
>> I've tried dog food if it makes you feel
better.
>> You have tried it?
>> Yeah.
>> How's it?
>> One out of 10.
>> You know,
>> that's pretty good. It's simple. It's
classy. the soy sauce, you know, gives
you that little bit of umami. Also, when
this sits, so when salt sits on protein,
it breaks it down into glutamates. You
know what I mean?
>> That's what she was saying when she
added it.
>> That is what she said. She said, "I love
the glutamate formation in protein that
has been set." So, what would you rate
this on a scale of 1 to 10?
>> Probably an eight. You're getting the
protein pretty easy. You have leftovers
putting in the Tupperware
>> or the rubbermaid. Sorry, Courtney.
>> It's okay. I speak for Courtney. Any
questions for Courtney?
>> Other questions?
>> Yes.
>> No.
>> You can answer them.
>> Um, how old are you?
>> 30.
>> Eight.
>> I'm going to give this an 8.2. I will
say the missing 1.8. If you had a whole
cucumber on the side and you could just
dip the cucumber spear in there.
>> Get a little more energy. Put some
onions in there. Maybe just even put
some relish in there.
>> Man, are we really struggling? Are you
struggling eating relish? No way, man.
>> Yeah, of course I am.
>> No way. Get out of town.
>> Well, speaking of onions.
>> Yeah. Yeah,
>> great segue.
>> I really try. Come on. Um, this is
Caleb's and he has pre- chopped onions.
I really respect that he doesn't waste
any time chopping the onions.
>> Yeah, I would like to say that I I love
that Caleb mentioned the time frame in
his video that I had been asking him for
that video for months. Um, if you're
ever trying to wrangle a bunch of
YouTubers to send you a 30-second video,
it does not go well. It does not go
well. Thank God bless to all of you who
participated. But you'll notice that
some of the videos were shot in studio.
That's because what we've been doing is
trapping them. We trap them. Annally
specifically. You watch that. But say
we're doing this video about struggle
wheels. Go. We just put a camera on you
>> and that's been the only way you can do
it. And if people ask me for a 30
secondond video,
>> I wouldn't send it to them in a 3-month
time frame. No way, man. I don't text my
best friends back.
>> They're busy people. You text
>> busy people. Do I?
>> Yeah. About basketball.
>> That's cuz I want to text about
basketball.
>> Valid. I really like this. I think it's
a solid 8.5.
>> I I could eat a whole ice cream cone
full of that.
>> I give this an eight.
>> 8.7.
>> I'm gonna cut my half sandwich.
>> So, um, how did you feel following
Kevin's very clear directions?
>> Absolutely stupid. [laughter]
>> Cuz what was he saying?
>> Can I tell you what I think happened? We
cuz we were here when Kevin recorded
that and we were asking Kevin, you know,
do you cook? And he's like, yeah, you
know, I was in college in West Virginia
and you know, I'd have ramen noodles and
eggs and toast. Yeah. Yeah. So, when he
started talking, I think he started
describing something that he would make
as a struggle meal, which is just bread
and eggs in a pan. But then I think he
realized that like there's things I wish
I could do and I wish were on that. And
that's when he started freestyling like
>> take it out, flip it, put cheese on it,
put tomatoes. I think he was coming up
with it on the fly. Yeah.
>> Of what he wishes his struggle meal
could have been, and now we're eating
it.
>> That very much seems like his energy.
>> It's awesome.
>> Yeah. I like the tomato on it. I do,
too.
>> Same. Mhm. M. It gives it a nice
juiciness that I wanted cuz there's no
sauce on it. So, it's like I need that
extra little something.
>> You need a little wet.
>> Mhm. I need wet. Mhm. Mhm.
>> The interesting thing here is the
placement of the everything seasoning.
>> Mhm.
>> Cuz if if it was say on top of the
tomato or the egg, it could actually
stick there. But no, no, no,
>> no, no. Flip. You He said flip.
>> He did say flip.
>> It's still good though. It's a 7.1.
>> I'll give it a 64. I'll give it a seven,
too. [music]
>> Y'all want to cook some more food?
>> Yes.
>> Do it. I'm playing Candy Crush. What
buttons do I click? Hey, I found it.
Okay.
>> Hey, it's Santi. This is my struggle
meal. It is not a theory. It is just
good sweet potato, canned chili, cottage
cheese,
and a little bit of cheese on top.
[laughter]
>> Hell yeah, dude. Look, Santi is really
strong, too. He can bench 100 lb
dumbbells. All right, cool. Let's make
it. [laughter]
We used to work with Santi. We love
Santi. What am I even reaching for?
>> [laughter]
>> There's nothing that I need to reach for
down there. What he's done is he's taken
a sweet potato and he has covered it.
And where's where's the white? I found
him. G. All right. Sweet potato. I saw
one in the oven. I'm going to take the
the the towel covered in cleaning
solution. Grab the sweet potato. We only
found a tremendously oblong sweet
potato. And so that's what we're doing
today. But I'm going to kind of snake
cut it. I'm a snake cutter. I'll show
you.
Where's a knife? Where do we keep knives
around here? If only I could find a kn.
Here we go. Oh, I like this guy. So,
what I'm gonna do,
see how this works out. I'm a big fan of
potato based struggle meals, cuz that
was kind of like why potatoes were
brought from uh you know, like the Andes
in Peru to Europe was um [music] a cheap
way to to feed the working class. And it
it really worked. And then, you know, of
course, we saw the [music]
the the blight in Ireland and and the
havoc that the crown wrought upon the
people. All right.
Chili. Chili. Pull tab. Smart.
Going to heat it up. I don't believe in
microwaving chili. Liquid gets hot, the
beef stays cold.
You're telling me that this doesn't look
almost identical to cat food? You think
I'm crazy one for thinking that my cat's
food might taste good when this is
people food? I need cottage cheese. Said
no one ever.
[laughter]
[laughter]
Got it. I found it.
>> What?
>> Cook.
>> I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. There's not
a lot, Lily. There's not a lot of
cooking to do. I'll tell you that much.
There's not a lot of cooking to do here.
>> What age do you have to be to purchase
cottage cheese?
>> What is this? A like a popsicle stick
joke.
[laughter]
>> Curd teen.
Curd teen years old. Curd teen going
uncurdy. [laughter] What's the answer?
>> I don't have one. I just wanted to see
what you
>> tell me what the joke is.
>> You said it.
>> You're doing a fat thing of cottage
cheese in there. The canned chili is
interesting. I don't know why I wouldn't
have pegged Santi for a canned chili
guy. What are you guys looking at? You
want to share with the class? Colby,
huh?
I don't know if you can share with Ash
if you think it's so funny.
>> I like to laugh.
>> Ash loves cottage cheese.
>> And then she goes, "Of course you do, my
little white girl." [laughter]
>> I have no comment on the race of anybody
that works in the mythical kitchen. I
[laughter] Yeah, thank you for not
sharing with the class. I guess how you
expressed your is every is beautiful.
[laughter]
Dodge that bullet. See the chili's
bubbling. That doesn't mean it's hot.
Right in there. Ice cold. Could my
finger do that if it was hot? No. Chili
thermodynamics
doesn't make no sense. Do you think
there's a world in which we can sort of
combine the two greatest shows in the
world, which is Mythical Kitchen and
Chris Angel's Mind Freak,
>> to sort of be like one, you know?
I can put on the black armbands. You
know,
>> good news is you can have leftover chili
for another uh another sweet potato.
This is awesome. This is something that
I would eat uh alone in front of a trash
can. I would start eating it with a
spoon and then I would just go hands
eventually. I would probably Here's what
I've done. When Julia's out of town and
I'm eating alone, I'll just have
headphones and I'll be like listening to
a podcast. And so I'm just like
shirtless eating chili covered potato
over a trash can. Headphones fully in.
It's It's a really crazy look. Here we
Which one you? Hey Winnie,
here we have it. We have Santi from Food
Theorist. Baked sweet potato with canned
chili, cottage cheese, and shredded
Mexican blend cheese on top.
Can you see the [laughter] What do you
What do you What do you want? Were you
waiting for a catchphrase, Woody? You
know, and I guess that's why they call
it Chile. Back to you, Chris. [laughter]
>> Okay, I got YouTuber Michelle K on the
phone, my bff. Just kidding. She doesn't
know who I am.
>> Hello, mythical kitchen. It's me,
Michelle, in the office late at night.
Um, which is the perfect time for me to
make my struggle meal, which is
typically toast.
>> I don't take sick days, nice cheese.
>> Um, I like to toast the toast.
>> Toasted toast. Um, you know, my one
treat of the week is getting a nice
block of cheese, like from Whole Foods
in a little basket where they like cut
off the extra pieces of the fancy cheese
that people don't buy. And I pick out
one of those and then that's my cheese
for the week and I put it on the bread
um with a little bit of olive oil, salt,
and balsamic vinegar. Maybe a sharp
cheddar, maybe a griier, maybe a sharp
guda. Enjoy.
>> Okay, this sounds nice. This sounds like
a nice little bite. Come on over here.
Bread, olive oil, balsamic. Just
happened [music] to be in the same
place.
Um, cheese from the Whole Foods. Nice.
This is a
raw three chili pepper Gouda and it was
only 196.
I don't know if this would last me a
week, but we'll stretch it out. We have
[music] some sourdough.
>> Hey, is this your Dr. Pepper?
>> Yeah. Did you drink it?
>> I accidentally drank it. My can was next
to it and I thought I grab I literally
wasn't looking.
>> But they're the different drinks.
>> Okay, so I'm locked in trying to find
these vintage magazines, right? So, I'm
just reaching.
>> Why?
>> And I grabbed the can and I didn't look
at it. They feel identical.
>> You should be more responsible.
>> I agree. Can I get you another Dr.
Pepper fresh one? I will. And I'll drink
both of these.
>> Better be cold.
>> It will. It'll go all the way to the
back of the fridge.
>> I contacted the seller though. I asked
him if he can expedite shipping. I
really want a copy of Bikini Magazine
November 1995 with Gina Gerson on the
cover.
>> For what use?
[laughter]
>> I don't want to say.
>> Say it.
>> What I do with my vintage magazines
between me and my god.
>> Well, don't share it with the whole
class then. Keep it private.
>> Okay. I have the Are you going to get it
for me or No,
>> let me drink these first.
>> That's
I might have drank that one, too. But my
Dr. Pepper.
>> Yeah.
>> We all just share each other's saliva.
>> You thought that Dr. Pepper could be a
woman? Hi, I'm Josh Sharon. I'm a
feminist.
>> Come on, just a little punch. [laughter]
Make me feel something. Don't take the
cameras with you.
>> Come on, everybody. LET'S GO.
[screaming] DR. PEPPER.
>> NO, IT'S MY TURN. IT'S my turn. Pay
attention to me.
>> I tell you what, I'm not going to the
coldest one. Hey, Kevin. You want to
make 10 bucks? [laughter]
>> Leave him alone. Feel
>> like I'm getting set up.
>> Lily has been asking someone to punch
her in the face. Quote, just to feel
something, and I won't do it.
[laughter]
>> Last Dr. Pepper left.
>> I'm going to try this.
It's a good cheese.
I got you.
>> Was it cold?
>> Yeah, it's the coldest. It's the only
one left in the fridge. And get this,
senior vice president of digital
content, Kevin Castelnik, confirmed that
he would punch you in the face for $10.
>> Yeah, that's senior vice president of
digital content, Kevin Castelnik.
>> That's awesome.
>> Yeah.
>> Where is he? [laughter]
>> Ooh, this is cold.
>> Nice.
>> Oh my god, it's so good.
Okay.
>> It's the Las Vegas issue.
>> I really am curious what you're uh
purchasing it for. Tell
>> you off camera.
>> Yeah. So, this is the November 1995
issue of Bikini Magazine featuring Gina
Gersel in the conference, the Las Vegas
issue. I've also put in a bid for Big
Brother magazine, April 1998.
I hope I win.
You have to bid.
>> It's eBay. Do you know where? Can you go
Can you go to Do public No. Public
libraries wouldn't have vintage
magazines, right?
>> I've never been to one.
>> What?
>> Like since like grade school
a public library.
[laughter]
>> I want to try.
[laughter] is everyone when I was
cooking was like, "Josh, you have three
minutes to put
>> I'm waiting for my bread to toast."
[laughter]
>> I can't.
>> Yeah, that's the Streamy Awards 2019
photo.
>> Are they selling that on eBay?
>> Awards 2019.
>> Does it look like I'm a little mouse
eating cheese
>> and the go Do you see the GoPro in
there? [laughter]
>> Look, man. I don't know how cameras work
around here. I don't think Michelle
melts the cheese on here, so we're just
kind of crumbling it up on top. And then
a little olive oil as she does.
A little balsamic
like
so. [music] A little salt
if you'll have me. This is Michelle
Car's toast with Whole Foods basket, nub
of cheese, balsamic, olive oil, salt.
It's time to struggle once more.
[laughter]
Next, I have our favorite person,
Charles Lincoln Neil, the
third,
fourth,
>> third.
>> Hey, Mythical Kitchen
Struggle Meal. Um, every meal that I
attempt to make is a struggle meal.
>> Why is this so blurry
>> based on my definition, meaning that I'm
struggling to make it? I know that's not
exactly
the true definition of a struggle meal,
but I think the best thing I got for you
is whenever I'm struggling, I usually
just open the cabinet
that has my nuts in it.
>> I have a nut cabinet.
>> Do we have a nut cabinet?
And um
>> I'll find it.
>> I'll start keeping my prunes.
>> I have to play this whole thing. It's a
what I'll do later. There's still
another minute in it.
>> A big canister of sunflower seeds and I
will pour those into my hand as if I was
going to feed a bird.
Um but I don't feed a bird. I feed
myself.
>> I take a pitted prune and those are
juicy. Those are
>> Mhm.
moist and
they're like that.
>> I don't think we eat the same kind of
prunes.
>> And I put it in the sunflower seeds and
I roll it around. I roll it around and I
smush it up and then I eat that.
>> And then I reach back under the cabinet
and I repeat the process.
>> Don't have to use a plate. Don't have to
use a paper towel.
>> Nothing.
>> Uh I'll just wash my hand after I lick
it.
That's my struggle, meal. It's like a
PB&J.
>> What?
>> It's a nutty.
>> Okay.
>> I I don't know. I don't know what it is,
but I like it.
>> My favorite part about this video is
that he says he mixes like this.
Okay, let me go reach into my nut
cabinet cuz all of a sudden it moved up
here
and
Mhm. Lots of nuts in here. Lily, this
isn't your job.
Lily, do your do your job, Lily. Rolling
off.
I don't think I have any nuts in my
house.
Good ones at least. Okay. He said, "Put
this in your hand
and we're going to be B." He said
they're wet. This is not that wet.
>> [laughter]
>> Am I'm just supposed to like press in it
and roll it around in the nuts. Am I
doing this right, Link?
>> Got to press it.
>> I'm I'm pressing. It's wet enough. And
then I'm separating it a little in my
hand. You see
>> that's got to stick to the broom.
>> Okay. I'm getting it in there. I'm going
to use it as a mouth. And
>> be sharp.
>> And then I'm going to just catch it like
this. Does that look good?
>> Match it more.
>> More.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Yeah. There you go.
>> Pressure. Pressure. Pressure. Okay, I
think this is our goal. I'm going to
shape it into like a little ball so it's
easier to eat. And he said no plate,
just hands.
And that's Link struggle meal.
[laughter]
Hell yeah, Link. Okay, get rolling.
>> Camera's rolling.
>> I thought we were already rolling.
>> You're like the kid in American Beauty
who's filming everything. The one with
the bag. [laughter]
>> Yeah.
>> Or is that American?
>> You're thinking you're thinking of this
movie another
movie.
>> It's like your bag's beautiful.
>> Has no idea what we're talking about.
>> No, I do.
>> She never has anything idea we're
talking about. No movie that I've seen
in American Pie. American pie. Okay.
Then what flavor of pie does he make
love to?
>> Um Um Um. Is it just whipped cream?
>> NO, IT'S APPLE. IT'S APPLE.
>> GRAPEFRUIT.
>> A grapefruit pie. You think he makes
love to a grapefruit pie? The grapefruit
uh the D cook movie.
>> That's not the right movie. We said
American pie.
>> Good luck, Chuck.
>> No, I haven't seen the movie.
>> You put the seen you put the grapefruit
in the microwave.
>> Did you What?
>> We need a movie night.
>> Josh, what do you have?
>> I'll tell you what. So, this is Santi
Masa from Food Theorists. Sweet potato
with cottage cheese topped with canned
chili topped with more cheese. Listen,
he he's a big active guy. He needs to
keep his strength up.
>> I'm pretty stoked on this. This is so
soft.
>> It's super soft, but I kind of like that
>> Santi. speaks to me on such a spiritual
level. I would go Greek yogurt and I
would probably like shred rotisserie
chicken and mix it with a jar of salsa
instead of doing a canned chili.
>> Hey Kobe,
>> can you grab me some hot sauce?
>> Yeah.
>> Thanks, ma'am.
>> That's what it's missing.
>> Give me one second.
>> This is perfect for the chips. I can't
even lie, guys.
>> A prime vehicle for
>> This is a nine for me.
>> A banger. [laughter] Banger.
>> I don't even like cottage cheese, but
you can't even really taste it that
much.
>> I'm giving it
>> It's smooth. A 10. A 10.
>> I give it an eight. Nine. Santi, you
know what you're doing, man. I used to
see you in the office eating random
stuff. Now you're still eating random
stuff. But even cooler.
>> You guys know what movie that's 10.
>> Um, Not Another Teen Movie. You're
>> not close. They spoof this movie in Not
Another Teen Movie with Chris Tom Hanks.
>> No. What's Chris? What's Chris? What's
Chris? Not Chris. He's in another
Christopher Walt. Not Chris Martin.
Chris Evans. Chris Evans.
>> Chris Evans. He has a banana between his
butt cheeks.
>> Oh yeah.
>> With whipped cream around it.
>> And he's spoofing this movie where Billy
Bob goes tan.
>> Tan

cottage cheese game?
>> Yeah, it's like in your bowl.
>> I'm going to answer that question for
you.

really like this. It's just cheese and
brick.
>> No, honey.
>> Bamic.
>> Balsamic oil. Olive oil. Salt.
>> Brit. You can be bougie and struggle.
>> Wow.

>> I like combining all the double meals.
>> Okay.
>> And I'm going to give you a very wet
prune.
>> Wow.
>> And you have to mush it in your hand.
>> Yeah. I see why you're struggling with
this.
>> Yeah.
>> You know what I mean? There's no like
gripping happening, so I put a little
water in it.
>> Prunes don't got that gorilla grip,
>> you know. So, I ended up just eating
like a ball with nuts. H,
>> this is sort of a peanut butter jelly
snack.
>> Mhm. In a way.
>> Prunes are dried. They're sort of a
natural jelly. And you're covered in a a
seed, which is like a nut. You blend
sunflower into butter.
>> Mhm. It is like the bird um the
>> the what's the fat bird fat? Not the
bird fat cuz you wouldn't want to feed
bird to bird

crunchy from the sunflower seeds and I
can see if you had a wetter softer prune

organic prune But if you get like a
sunsweuite, those are softer and
plumper.
>> I think it would really stick to there.
I'm giving this a 9.5.
>> Oh my wow.
>> How great. You get fiber, tons of fiber
from prunes. They they make you go
almost immediately. You know, we're
going to head to the bathroom after

Oh, did you spit that in there?
>> Did someone spit a prune in there?
>> No. I think that was from the
