- Today we're nom nomming
some uncommon ramen. - Let's talk about that. (upbeat theme music) Good Mythical Morning. - Conventional thinking says that instant ramen is only
possible if you've got water, since when do we give a crap about conventional thinking? - Right, we're not
interested in the question, "Can you cook instant ramen in
new and adventurous liquids?" We're boldly saying you
should cook instant ramen in new and adventurous liquids. - It's time for ramen
noodles taste like heaven with a hint of MSG, but how do they taste when cooked in cat pee? - But there is no actual cat pee. - Oh, good. - Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna be tasting ramen noodles that have been cooked in a mystery liquid, but they've also been cooked along with a chicken or beef seasoning packet, because otherwise it
would just be too easy. - Right, we're gonna try
the noodles blindfolded, and we're trying to guess
what the mystery liquid is. If we need hints, Stevie, you got 'em? - [Stevie] Oh, I got 'em. - She got 'em. And the loser--
- Hints for days. - The loser's gonna have to leak their intimate nudes to the world. - Uh-oh. (upbeat music) - As you can see, we can't. - We will be responsible
for feeding ourselves, not each other. - (laughs) Okay. It's gonna be dangerous enough. I got two sticks in my
hand and I'm blindfolded. - Okay. I can tell there's something
on there by the weight. - You can process, but don't guess until she does the three, two, one. - Hm. That's good.
- Yeah. - It's sweet. - It does taste good. It's not overpowering. This is not gonna be easy, is it? - No. - What is that? - I wouldn't know there was
anything weird about that. I would just be like, "Oh, that's ..." Caught it. I'd be like, "That's some
real sweet teriyaki." - It's very liquidy apparently, whatever it was cooked in, because there's no residual sauce, you know what I'm saying? - [Rhett] Very liquidy. Yes, it was very liquidy liquid. - As opposed to like a gravy. You know what I'm saying? - Yeah, 'cause we're doing liquids that function like water, 'cause we got to be able to boil it. I don't think you can boil gravy, can you? - This is good. Whatever you did, I like it, but I'm having a hard time
figuring out to guess. - I've got a guess. I don't know how I feel about it. - [Stevie] This is just round
one, boys, remember that. - Oh gosh.
- Yeah. - I'm ready.
- All right, here we go. Three, two, one. - Coke.
- Coca-Cola. - Really?
- Hey, yes. - We're both guessing Coke?
- Yes. - There was a sweetness, and I just feel like that's a good idea. - We're both right, right? - [Stevie] You're both incorrect. - Dang it.
(Link groans) - Hint?
- I'll tell you one thing though, you'll have no problem getting this out of your system later. - Prune juice. - [Stevie] Correct.
(dinging) - Oh, seriously? - Yes. - [Stevie] You can take
a look if you want. - [Rhett] Yeah, prune juice. - [Link] Oh. - It tasted sweet. It tasted good. It tasted good, y'all. - I can smell some prunes. I like prunes. I haven't had 'em in a while. I miss 'em. - Well, eat up. (upbeat music) - We got some more noodles in front of us. Let's take a little ... - [Rhett] Hm. - Tangy. - Oh, wow.
- Not too tasty to me. - No, no, no. I like this. I think I just like to eat. - What is that taste? The more you eat it the more the chicken seasoning comes through. - Man, so tangy. What is that? Like super tangy. The fact that this much
tang got through to the end, that's some strong tang. - Yeah, but it's a special
type of tang, you know? It's not like-- - What if it's just Tang? Like the drink. - Well, ironically Tang is not that tangy. - Not that tangy? - Not as tangy as this. This is super tang. - Okay, I think going
with Tang I have a guess. - [Stevie] Okay, Link, are you all right? - I really like it by the way. - I do not like. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Sunny D.
- Pickle juice. - [Stevie] Okay, neither
of you are correct. - Sunny D? You think that's tangy? I guess it ... - Have you had Sunny D? - It's a weird type of tang, yeah. I don't think this is that citrusy. Hint? - [Stevie] This ramen should
have tickled you pink. - What? - Pink lemonade. - Oh, are we-- - [Stevie] Correct.
(dinging) - I forget to guess. - [Stevie] What were you
gonna say, "Are we guessing?" (Stevie laughs) - Hey, first of all, I was-- - I was waiting for another
countdown for some reason. - I was in the right ballpark. I was in the citrus house. - I was like, "Are we counting down?" Oh, that's pretty, but I do not prefer it. - I like it. (upbeat music) - The neon sign that is on my
shirt is in our green room, and now it can be on a shirt on your body. All you got to do to get this shirt is go to mythical.com. - Yeah, if you want to look
like Rhett go to mythical.com. If you want to look like me, just go to a par three course after substitute teaching that morning. (Rhett laughs) - Very specific. - [Link] Okay. - [Rhett] Having trouble grabbing it. - Mm! Mm! Mm-hm. Dessert ramen! Mm. - Holy moly. - Me likey. Oh, man, points are escalating
so I still got a chance. I got to be on my toes here. - Man, that's got a super specific taste. - Oh man. Yeah, but I can't translate
it into just a liquid. - It tastes exactly like something, but I'm not gonna say it out loud. - Okay. Oh, this is a good one. - But I'm having trouble
making that into a liquid. - I'm ready to guess, Stevie, whenever you're, you
know, ready to count down. No need to wait. - [Stevie] Okay. Three, two, one. - Horchata.
- Frosting. - [Stevie] Damn, Link,
(dinging) look at you.
- Yes! - That's it, that's horchata. So specific of a taste. - That is good. 'Cause I was like, "Cinnamon
Toast Crunch milk?" - Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I was like ... I was thinking Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk, then I was like, "Donut juice?" (laughing) - Hey. - I was like, "None of these are liquids." - But hold on. Let's just keep talking
about those guesses, 'cause all those things should be made. Donut juice? Yes. - Put that on the list. - Cinnamon Toast Crunch
milk I think already exists. - I think that exists. - What about horchata ramen? Yes. - Okay, yeah. And this is genuinely good. - Have I tied it up? - You have. (upbeat music) - Okay. - There's an odor coming off of this one. - Odor. (Link coughing) Woo. I don't want to ingest too much of this. - I know what that is without
even going any further. - Oh man, the scent is
strong with this one. - It's so specific. - How specific do we need to get though? - You just ballpark. (chuckles) No, I ain't gonna give you any hints. You got to get it right! - [Stevie] Ready? - Okay. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Scope.
- Pepto-Bismol. - Oh, I thought this was Scope mouthwash. - [Stevie] How specific
do you guys want to get? - We're in two different zones. - [Stevie] Yeah, one of
you is in the right zone. - Okay, then that means the right zone-- - Mouthwash, Scope, swishy-swishy. - Toothpaste? - Ah ... - [Stevie] No, I'm gonna give it to Link 'cause I feel like, yeah, it's mouthwash, but it's Listerine, but you said Scope. - Oh, Listerine.
- But, you know. - Oh, but it was Listerine that's not the yellow Listerine. - It's funny how that happens
in your brain because-- - It's the blue Listerine. - Now that I taste it I'm
like, "Oh, that's Listerine "obviously that I was
smelling and tasting." But the first thing that
came to my mind is Pepto. It doesn't taste like Pepto at all. - No, it doesn't. Pepto kind of has a chalky thing and it doesn't have a
strong scent I don't think. - Yeah. - Is that a beard hair? (upbeat music) - I've lost confident. - Are you smelling it before you eat it? 'Cause that's cheating.
- Yeah. - I'll do it too then. - I started strong. - I can't decide if
that smells good or bad, but it makes me nervous. - Oh. That's strong and bad. - It's not-- - It's not bad. Remember that? - I do remember that. It's not that bad to me or strong. Maybe I'm missing something. - It's very ... There's nothing that's coming to mind. - To me it's mild. - [Rhett] It's not
reminiscent of anything. - It's mild and earthy to me. - Mild and earthy, that
could have been our band. - If y'all boiled ramen in LA river water I got a bone to pick with you, Chase. - There might be a person's bone in the actual ramen if that were the case. - We are back to this
boil for safety scenario. - It's all safe. - Chase, are you rusty
on your boil for safety? - [Chase] Yep, they're
all boiled for safety. - I don't know, but I'll
try to guess something. - [Stevie] Okay. - I got nothing. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Squid ink? - I need a hint. Squid ink? - [Stevie] I'll give you eight hints. - Octopus juice. - [Stevie] Just kidding, you only get one. - Spider ... Spider pee.
- Spider juice. - [Stevie] You guys are guessing like round six guesses right now. This is round five. - You said eight hints? - [Stevie] Yeah. - What comes in eights
besides octopus and spiders? (Link whistles) Eight ball. Eight ball. - Eight ... - [Stevie] No, this is a legal
substance that we've used. (Rhett laughs) - All right, you're gonna have to ... I don't know what comes in
eights besides spider legs. Crazy eights, great card game. - Eight. - [Stevie] Think of a brand. Think of a beverage. - A great, eight, new great ... - Eight, seven, six-- - [Stevie] A prominent
ingredient in this beverage Link strongly dislikes. - Olives? Oh, V8. - Oh.
- Correct. (dinging)
(laughing) - How did we get ... - [Link] You must have strained this afterwards or something. - How did I get squid ink out of ... Well, I was wrong, but ... - I can smell the tomato juice now, but it is pretty subtle. - But you don't really mind V8. - No, I don't. - I've seen you drink it on a plane. - Only on a plane. (upbeat music) - Oh, man. (Link gags) - What? - The smell! - Is this freakin' excrement? - Oh gosh. Oh Lord.
(Link gags) Oh Lord. - What, where ... Oh, thank you Chase. - Ew! It touched my hand and I-- - I ain't eatin' this, man. - You have to. We have to eat it. - [Link] Seriously? (Rhett gags) - I can't, I can't. (Link retching) I can't. - I touched it to my
tongue and it's so salty! - It touched my tongue
and that was all I needed. - [Stevie] Guys, come on. - Uh-uh. - [Stevie] It's not as
gross as you think it is. It's really not. You might enjoy it.
- It smells like bat guano. (laughing) That's my guess.
- Really? (Rhett gags) - Bat pee. - [Stevie] Okay, okay, okay-- - At the top of this we said there was gonna be any pee. - [Stevie] Yeah. - I can't get it in. - [Stevie] That's okay, you tried. Are you ready to guess? - No, hold on. (Link coughs) - I'll try. - Hold on, I got to think of something that Stevie thinks is okay for us to eat but then is so visceral just to smell and touch to your tongue. Do you have a guess? - Not a confident one. - It's not that it's fishy either. It's something else. - It is familiar in a weird way. (Link groans in disgust) - It's very ... It's such a dark scent. - Okay, all right, I got a guess. - [Stevie] Okay. Three, two, one. - Fish sauce. - [Stevie] Yes.
- Oh. (dinging)
(clapping) Yeah, my nemesis from
the split screen episode. - Yes, it's so specific.
- That's it. That's it. I had no guess because I was paralyzed. - It's just so intense and strong. - I can't believe I drank it straight. - Yeah, me neither. - [Stevie] Okay, so Link, unfortunately I have to leak your nudes now. - Oh, now. Link. - [Link] Okay, thanks
for blurring the most noodley part of my nudes.
- No you didn't. (laughing) The noodle. The noodle part. - [Link] Yeah, I'm working it. I'm kind of proud for
that to be out there. I'm working it hard. You can still see the
nipples, and the belly button, and the glasses. Boy, that's strange. - [Rhett] Looks like one of those things you stare at at the mall, and eventually it turns into something. - [Link] Can you tell that
I'm making a duck face? - [Stevie] Yes. - Yes. Wow, that's amazing. I almost feel jealous
that I won. (chuckles) thanks for subscribing

Things I enjoyed about this episode:
-The flawless intro line: "Today we're nom-nommin' some uncommon ramen!"
-Rhett and Link awkwardly mistaking prune juice for coke
-Rhett mumbling, "I just like to eat"
-Link calling Kool-Aid "Supertaaaahng"
-Link forgetting how to guess an answer
-Link guessing "horchata" while Rhett guessed "donut juice"
-The return of “boiled for safety”
-Stevie’s witty hints
-Rhett and Link desperately trying to guess “V8”
-Rhett saying "oh lawd" and gagging after tasting the fish sauce
-Link mistaking the fish sauce for bat guano
I love their reactions to the final ramen liquid challenge. If you think about it, it must be terrifying to be Rhett & Link, having lived through so many, many episodes of eating disgusting foods, and then being blindfolded and told to eat something strong-smelling and unknown. Their imaginations can't help but run wild.
Poor guys. And they do it all for internetainment.
Wouldnt just menthol be safer? 🤣
Every time Link gets a close call or a moment of clarity, I always have to go back and rewatch his moment of glory as a chicken genius.
Their delight when they guess the same answer :D
I think Josh should take a shot at grape trout- and chicken tomb-flavored ramen.
Trying to replicate these dishes for my niece and I to try. did they post anywhere which ones used beef and which ones chicken for the seasoning?
