- What is our pee going
to taste like later? A party! - Well, I'm not going to taste it. It's usually- - Did I say taste? (Link laughing) (upbeat theme music playing) Good mythical morning. Today we're going to use
our mouths and our brains to see if we can identify
food combinations that science asserts should taste good together. - Yeah. And I'm going to use
my mouth to say that a portion of today's episode was paid
for by constant contact. Now, without further ado, let's eat some food pairings to see who's got the smarter tongue. It's time for this tastes like science. - Okay, so we've explored this
topic of the flavor pairing theory before, but there were so many more
possibilities that we weren't able to sample. We're going
to return to the lab today. - Yeah, it's time for more (Link making space sounds) research. Whew, it feels good to bring that back. - Yeah, it's been awhile. - Do you feel like we're
just getting smarter just when we do that? Try
it. You should do it too. Yeah. - We're catching some smart waves. According to fans of the
flavor pairing theory, science can predict how well
two things will taste when combined based on the number
of aromatic chemical compounds, two foods have in common. The more in common, the better the taste. But that means science is
pushing some pretty bizarre and unexpected food combinations. That theoretically
should be flavor matches, but will we agree? - Okay. So to test this,
we're going to taste three different combinations in every round, and one of them is the scientific pairing. And two of them are just things that the mythical kitcheneers
came up with to fool us. Will we find the scientific one. - Let's find out. In the end, whoever's
tongue is more scientific, will win the coveted first
place, tongue ribbon. Same one as last time. - We're starting off with potato chips. And we've got three different
options for pairing, including bananas, asparagus, and bitters. - So which one does science
say should go together? - Guess you just put
it on the chip, right? - Give it a dink. - It's gonna be a lot of dinking. - We don't have to... - Is that an inaugural dip? - Listen, you just an inaugural. You don't have to do it every time. Salty, crunchy banana-y. I mean, there is such a thing as - It goes together. - There's a banana chip, - Just a straight up fried banana. - An asparagus piece. This is raw asparagus. Is that part of this science talk to me. - Huh? - And bitters? You just said, huh? You didn't have anything else to say, huh? Cause I didn't think that
I would like asparagus, but raw, is raw asparagus just not bad? Cause it was good with the chips. - Oh. Bitters. Whoa. That's, I mean maybe I should have gone a little bit, uh, - Less bitter? - Less bitter. - Yeah, that was, - I feel like I've got a, I got a guess just based
on initial reaction of what happened here. [Stevie]-Okay. so I'm going
to do a three, two, one. You guys are going to put
your bowl of potato chips behind the thing that you think
is scientifically correct. Here we go. Three, two, one. - Okay. Yeah. [Stevie]- Okay, I said behind, but that works too. - I understand. I almost - I thought both of those were good. - Yeah. Asparagus and chips
is actually surprising. - That's why I said, - But this is... - I didn't want to say anything. - I could tell, but this is a product. [Stevie]- The correct answer is, asparagus. - Yeah. I don't, I don't understand why. [Stevie]- So link. That means you have to read
the science the big words, - Okay [Stevie]-But I have a special little surprise for you guys. So this time that we're playing this game, Josh has actually created what
we're calling party bites, which are combining the two things - I love party bites. [Stevie]in like a cool delicious way. So you both get to partake
in the party bites. - Yes! [Stevie]So Josh pass that through and then, - Potato chips? [Stevie]Yea, Link, give that
link gives a little science. - And asparagus match
because they share two, six dimethyl, lip PI Rozene and two acetylpyrol. - Yeah. I can tell you both of those. - In case, you were wondering, you can also find two
acetylpyrol in roasted peanuts and popcorn. - Yeah. - So this is, what is this, is it a chip, - Chip coated asparagi. - Chip coated asparagus. Is it fried? [Voice]Yeah, sure is. - The fact that you said
popcorn. I had no idea. That asparagus would have this almost savory impact on top of the chip. I mean, something happened to my mouth, that's why I've just said, mm, - That's pretty crazy. - And what, what is our pee
going to taste like later? A party! [Stevie]- Taste? Well, I'm not going to taste it. It's usually, - Did I say taste? (Link laughing) - What's our pee gonna taste like later, when we exchange it and drink it like we always do. [Voice]- Find out in More. That's what I meant to say Before we subject our flavor
flickers to more mad science. This portion of today's

And now, let's get back to tasting the science. - Okay, so we've got watermelon and we're going to be pairing that with olives. You're excited about that, sugar, snap, peas, and white bread. - I just need a way to think of an olive so that I can... - Think of it as good. - Like it. Maybe a little watermelon will help. Not helping. Two conflicting juices. - Conflicting juices? - Are happening to him in my mouth. - I don't know. I like both of those things
and they just tasted like watermelon and olives in my mouth. - [Stevie] The way that
you use the toothpicks is so funny to me because like you, you manhandle, I'm specifically talking about Rhett. - Oh yeah? [Stevie]- He touches, He just touched and picked
up the one, the pea, to put it on the watermelon on a thing. - Yeah, yeah. [Stevie]-It's fine. - You got a problem with that? [Stevie]-No, no, you do you. - Huh? Hmm. - Sugar snap pea, and a, - Yeah, I put it, I do
it like this, Stevie. Look, put it together. - That's a strange looking sandwich. - Huh? - So now you got juice and you
got a pillow to soak it up. - But the taste is really
what we're going for. Not the texture diff
not the textures, it's the aromatic nature of these two things. Maybe we should smell it. - Okay. [Stevie]-You think you got it? - Yeah. I'm ready to vote. [Stevie]-Alright. Watermelon behind the thing. In three, two, one. - I think it's the olives. - I think so, too. But even though I hate it, I, you know, that doesn't mean anything, so, - It almost takes like
hourdevores of I've had before, - The other two didn't work. - like an olive in, in,
in watermelon thing. [Stevie]- Guys, you were both. - Correct. (bell dinging) - Yeah. [Stevie]- Which means I
have to read the science and you still get the party bite, which I don't understand how that's fair. Where's my party bite. - Well, [Stevie]-Watermelon and olives match because they share benzaldehyde, - Benzadelhyde. [Stevie]-and two phenylethanol - Yep [Stevie]-And apparently
synthetic benzaldehyde is what gives imitation almond extract its flavor. - So that's like a watermelon martini with some olives in it? [Voice]Extra dirty for you. - Extra dirty. The way I like it. - I know you like this, right? - Uh-huh. Whoa. We got some blue cheese up in here? I love some blue cheese. - I know you do. - Whoa buddy. - You love it enough for both of us. And that's the real reason why I hate it. - But do you love peanut butter, blue cheese and - It's so strong. - peanut butter are both incredibly strong flavors. I'm kind of excited about
putting this in my mouth. - I'm trying not to contamidate. - Contamidate? - My peanut butter spoon. - Whoa. They combined into something new. Yeah, it's like somebody put their foot in your peanut butter jar. - Uh, was this vinegar in the middle? [Voice]- Um, vanilla extract. - Vanilla extract. - Vanilla extract. - Um, it makes, - That helps. - the blue cheese taste like Play-Doh. - It really does. (laughing) - I need some salt to
really go all the way. Okay. So now we've got some pineapples. - I don't know what to think about that. - It creates a cohesive experience, which then tempts the vote. (laughing) - Did you like that one, Stevie? (Stevie laughing) [Stevie]- Yeah - What are you laughing at? [Stevie]- You are. Okay. So you take the pineapple with your, with the toothpick and you put a little bit of cheese on it. Rhett. (laughing) - What is he doing over there? - I'm doing that. [Stevie]- You guys got a guess? - I've got it narrowed down to two. I think I'm ready. [Stevie]- Three, two, one. - The pineapple tastes
incredible with the cheese. - That, that, that was, that was good. - Incredible. I can imagine a dish
coming together with those. - Cheese and pineapple. [Stevie]- Man,you guys are
doing so well this time around. - Yeah. Last time. I think it's cause I know that we're putting our we're in the right mind state, knowing that Josh put the stuff together. Let's see it, man. [Stevie]- Yeah. There's the party bite. I will read the science, but Josh did deliver me a
party bite. So thank you, Josh. [Voice]- No problem, Stevie. - Lord, look at that. It's a blue cheese
pineapple burger slider? - Oh my goodness. [Voice] It's a little
caramelized pineapple, a little bit of sweet soy, and then a blue cheese spread. [Stevie]- Blue cheese and
pineapple match because they share Butyric acid and methyl pentyl ketone. And just so you know, Butyric acid is also found in human vomit and the human colon. - That's why I like it so much. Josh, this burger is next level. [Voice]-That's on the menu. - Gosh. - You excited again? Oysters your favorite. - Oh, man. Look at that. It's just like, it's like a dirty snot on a, on a crustacean, but maybe science is going
to give me some new hope. - So we've got green gelatin dessert. We've got beets and we've got, uh, pepperoni. And for those of you confused at home, uh, we've got escalating points every round, that's what's happening with the math. Just in case that was throwing you off. Of course it was agreed on, on all of the escalated points, so. - Any, any man's game, I don't have a pick from my oyster. So I don't know what to do. - This is, this is, [Stevie]-I honestly was
thinking the exact same thing. - This is nasty man. Cause, I mean, you got that gross thing with this gross thing on it two Slurpee things together? (gagging sounds) - How are you doing? - Mm-mm. (gagging sounds) Okay. One down two to go. [Stevie]-Did you bite the oyster? - Well, I only have two so - We have two, yeah. - Josh told me to bite it in half. [Stevie]- Ugh. - Which made it even more visceral. - Yeah, I did it that as well but, - You know what I'm gonna, I like beets. You know if there's one thing I like, - It's beats. - I'm a fan of beets. - This is hard. It's hard cause you want to get half of the oyster and
then you want to get, - Somebody to put snot on my beets. - Huh? (gagging and coughing) - That did something very interesting to Link. Apparently. Boy, boy, boy. I got it down, boy. I got it down boy. - Is it hard boy? - It's hard for me to get it down boy. I mean what, what is this a
muscle inside of an oyster? - No, it's the whole thing. No, I mean, what is it? It's just like a, - It's just like heart and soul man. - Heart and your soul? (laughing) - Yeah. - There's no muscles? - It's everything. It's all things, to all people. What does it do? What does it do? Like does it reach out and bring the, bring the trap shut? I don't understand. - I've never hung out with one. - At least pepperoni's are strong. Hmm. Arg. [Stevie]- All right, guys. You ready to guess? As much as I've enjoyed this. - This is really not easy cause oysters are just so, - Not easy at all. [Stevie]- Delicious. Three, two, one. - It's either the pepperoni or it's either the pepperoni or the beets, but I'm going with beets because I felt like something new was sort of created there. I don't know. - I think you need something strong. [Stevie]- The correct answer is, beets, which means link you have to read the science and there's a party bite, which, Link, I'm sure you're gonna enjoy. - What is this, Homie? Boy. [Voice]- So these are raw
oysters in the half shell with a green Apple
horseradish beet relish. - Oh boy. - Oysters and beats
match because they share Capronaldehyde and dimethyl sulfoxide. Don't eat your oysters
and beets in the sauna because high vapor concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide may lead to headaches, dizziness, and even sedation. - Oh gosh I don't want to be sedationed. [Stevie]- And that means that means that Rhett, you win the
tongue ribbon this time. - Oh gosh. I got to put this thing on. - And you know what, I'd
love for you to have that, if you want it. (unintelligible) - We want to thank everybody who made this possible. (laughing) Least of which, not being Josh over there and science. - Uh-huh. - Mr. Science. - Thanks for subscribing
and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - Hi, I'm Becky from
Bakersfield, California, about to have a bonfire on the beach and you can spin the wheel of mythicallity! - We will spin that wheel of mythicallity. click the top link to watch us guess which condiments were swirled together in Good Mythical More. - And, to find out where
the wheel of mythicallity is gonna land. [Voice]- Prop up our mythical content with a Mythical or GMM pop-socket. Available now at mythical.com.
Omg I loved this last time, glad they brought it back.
Also Rhett draping things on the toothpick rather than, you know, sticking them on the toothpick is a minor reminder that Rhett is the slightly weirder one in real life. Usually Link is the weird one on GMM.
I don't think todays sponsor knew who they were advertising too. Don't know any Mythical Beasts who could find constant contact useful.
This episode was packed with so many things! Rhett messing around with toothpicks, Link gagging on oysters, Stevie sharing interesting science facts, Josh presenting party bites...and, of course, the return of Boopity Boop Boop Research.
Also, More was hysterical. I adore guessing/tasting games like that one.
What’s our pee gonna taste like later? Lmao
Does anyone else hate the teaser?
That ad was so long
I admit, I've done that bat ear thing that makes you feel smarter.
Liked this food combos taste test more than the last bc of Josh's "party" creations. Seems like an idea they got from Rhett the last time bc of his joke "party" he was gonna throw if there were any surprising food combos.
CRISPEE TOWNEE!!!
