- Is sweet food spicy better
than spicy food sweet? - Let's talk about that. (groovy electronic music) - Good Mythical Morning. - Our new novel, "The Lost
Causes of Bleak Creek" comes out October 29th!
- Yes! - But today, one month in advance, we are launching an amazing
giveaway to celebrate what the book has in store for you. - What?
- Not one, but two lucky winners, each with guests, will be treated to an
all expenses paid trip to Los Angeles to join
us and the Mythical crew for a good ol' fashioned pig pickin' just like we do back in North Carolina. - Yes! The giveaway runs today
through November 2nd, and all you need to do to
enter is pre-order the book and submit your proof of
purchase through our simple form at BleakCreek.com. Now multiple entries for
multiple books are allowed and a ticket to the Bleak
Creek conversation shows or any previous pre-order
counts as proof of purchase so you can submit that too. - Void where prohibited. No purchase necessary to enter. Full rules are on the website. Thanks and we hope to
see you around a pig. - Yeah that's gonna be fun. All right today's episode
is all about tongues but before we get to
that, let's take a moment to acknowledge Rhett's beard. I acknowledge your beard.
- Thank you. - All right now back to tongues. Your body's natural flavor flicker, telling your brain what's right and wrong in this crazy mixed up taste-filled world. It's how you come to
think of candy as sweet, habaneros as spicy and pig
anus as a little salty. - But what if we took
some well-known foods and swapped the sweet with
spicy and verse vicey? Will our fleshy food
figure out or flip out or will we bring a brand
new culinary delight into this world? It's time for Sweet Foods
Spicy Versus Spicy Foods Sweet. Which Is Better? Won't Know 'Til We Eat. - A few weeks ago we posted
a series of sweet spicy food versus spicy sweet food
match-ups and you voted on which you thought we would like better and now we're gonna find
out if you were right and the prize or punishment
at stake is for you. - You're gonna get a point
for each round the majority of you guessed correctly
and if you get three or more points, we'll give
you personal shout-outs to as many of you as possible
in Good Mythical More. But if you don't get three right, we're going to post a photo
of us holding a loser potato to our Instagram and
every one of you must post a sad face emoji on that
potato because you need to be identified as the
loser potato that you are! (rhythmic music) College is a time of cheap eats, wild, unabashed experimentation,
oh and education. So in the name of learning let's mix up the iconic college food spicy ramen with Link's favorite
cereal, Frosted Mini Wheats. - Yeah and are we gonna
come out on the other side of this, me not liking ramen
or Frosted Mini Wheats? - Ah, well no, you just
might not like sweet ones and spicy ones. Okay so Josh, how did you
make this sweet ramen sweet? - [Josh] So the sweet
ramen is simply boiled in Swiss Miss hot cocoa. (Link chuckles) - Okay. What's step two?
- Made right in your dorm microwave. - Some things don't have to be over complicated.
- Step two, enjoy! - [Rhett] I don't wanna
get too much of the-- - [Link] That's a nice reminder. - [Rhett] I want it to be kinda dripping right when it goes in my mouth. - Now when you eat the ramen, don't you use a spoon, brother? - No, I use a bowl. (slurping ramen) That's not pleasant. - Yeah it is. There's chocolate with noodles in it. - Yeah you eating it's not pleasant. - [Link] Oh. (chuckles) - But that's nothing new. - I'll tell you. (crew laughing) It's, and as it gets colder, I mean the seasons. As it gets into winter, remember this. - It's amazing how--
- Whoa. - There's nothing about
the noodles that takes away from the chocolate goodness.
- Nothing. - You know what I'm saying?
- It adds more. - Noodles are a canvas. - And life is the paint, man. - Well in this case, the
chocolate's the paint, but all right, let's have some-- - This is not gonna be good. - Spicy mini wheats. - That is correct.
- How'd you make 'em spicy? - [Josh] Just a simple firey cayenne glaze so pretty similar to how they do it just with a little extra. - Well I'm just gonna pour in
this one 'cause we might need to use this for the thumbnail. All right so pour this. - [Rhett] That's some thick milk. Is that yogurt? (both chuckling) - Just thick milk.
- Did you shake it? Where's your spoon? Oh this is your spoon. - Yeah, now you gotta--
- I gotta-- - The spoon was never intended for this. Have you watched people eat ramen before? - Yeah they use a spoon. - No I think that's when you're like in an Italian restaurant with the pasta. - Yeah that's where I eat my ramen. - Okay I think you just
prove yourself wrong. - That is some thick milk, homey. - All right I'm gonna get two of these. - [Link] Yeah I usually eat
two and what I'll do is-- - [Rhett] This is kefir, right? - There'll be--
- This is not. - I don't know.
- Dink it. - Now you're gonna eat it the Link way. Ah ah ah ah! - I'm gonna eat it--
- Ah! Hey, hey!
- I'm gonna eat it the right way.
- No, eat it the Link way! You put the sugar up and
then you turn it over in your mouth onto your tongue. - Which does absolutely nothing to change the taste that's in your mouth. - It's happening. Frosted Mini Wheats is
being ruined for me. - I wouldn't say that this is bad and I really like spicy things but-- - Well hold on. - I don't know if I
needed that level of spice added to that type of experience. - Hold on though. - I held on for awhile. - Yeah. There's no chance. - It needs--
- Sucks. - It needs something sweet. - Now we gotta see what the fans thought. So we are saying that the
sweet ramen was amazing. - Definitely better.
- But did you agree? Did you predict? - [Stevie] Well turns out that
62% of the Mythical Beasts thought you would like
the sweet ramen better. - Wow, you know us so well. - Actually 62 seems low for this choice. I'm very surprised that-- - Well they know I like the spicy stuff. I mean it's like, I think,
you know, you never know. You don't know until you try. That's why we're trying.
- I'm not disappointed. (rhythmic music) All right let's scramble up 7-Eleven 'cause we're flippin'
spicy pepper jack cheese and sweet sweet Slurpees. - Okay so--
- Somehow. - On this side we've got
the cheese that is no longer pepper jack cheese, what
kind of cheese is it? - [Josh] Well I'd call it jelly bean jack. It's sweet jack cheese. Instead of red and green jalapenos, we get red and green jelly beans. - This is a stretch. - This looks Christmas cheese. That's the music video we'll
come out with this year. - Christmas cheese, does
it Christmas please? Christmas cheese, it
does Christmas please. (Link groans) I don't like it. I don't know why you're,
you love cheese so much that it's dumbing you down in this moment. It's rounding off all the edges. Where's the old Rhett? - What about this face is
saying that I'm enjoying this? What about this picture here? - That's right, that's
your at-rest face, man. It's resting Rhett face. - To me it's not so much that
it's sweet that's the problem. It's the jelly bean-ness. 'Cause I think you can put
sweet things in cheese, like you can get like a cranberry-- - Black cherry.
- Cheese, yeah. Yeah, you can put blueberries in cheese. - No, but you can put a craisin. - Yeah that's not crazy. - And that's the struggle.
- I'm not that impressed. - Craisin's not crazy.
- I'm not that impressed. So this is gonna be tough
because I can't imagine that a spicy Slurpee's gonna
be good either. (chuckles) - (chuckles) No this ain't gonna be good. Dink it. Drink it. It tastes horrible, even
before the spice hits you. - It took a long time to hit you, it hit me immediately. Is that habanero?
- It's hit me in the goozle, man.
- Yeah. (Link hiccups)
There is. (Link chuckles sadly, pounds fist) - Yeah, it's very distinctly habanero. (Link groans)
What is it, just purified habanero put into some ice? - [Josh] Oh maybe you should be doing the cooking around here.
(Rhett laughs) - Stop smi--
(Link hiccups) Stop smilin' man, because I
didn't think we were doing this (hiccups) on this show anymore. - I'd prefer undoubtedly the Slurpee. Because it's like, what do
you call it when you just-- (Link hiccups) Instead of taking something orally, you inject it. (chuckles) (crew laughs) What is that called?
- Intraven-- - Vein lining.
- Intra (hiccups) venous. - This is like mainlining spiciness. Now you shouldn't inject it into your arm. But like--
(Link hiccups) - When you bite a pepper,
it's kinda like hmm, hmm, but when you just take this, the whole thing just immediately-- - What are you voting for? - How is this not clear? The Slurpee, clearly. - Okay it's clear. All right so did you predict this? I bet you didn't.
- Hold on, you also agree with it? - You gave a whole speech. I'm not gonna cross you on it. - Okay, all right. - [Stevie] Okay so this
one was even closer because 52% of the MBs
thought that you would like the spicy Slurpee better. - Ah.
- You did it! - Yes. - You did it!
- You're so smart. (rhythmic music) And now the raw round. We like our spicy tuna raw and
our cookie dough even rawer but will we still like 'em when we swap that spicy and sweet? So we got sweet sushi. How's it sweet? - [Josh] Well instead of
mixing the tuna with sriracha, we mixed it with cream cheese frosting. - [Rhett] Oh gosh. - [Josh] Then all the
accoutrements are also sweet. Sweet soy, sweet sabi and sweet ginger. - [Rhett] Okay so we gotta go all the way. - Now what about the black ring? - [Josh] Oh that's just seaweed. - Now in order--
- Oh man, the wasabi has hardened.
- In order to give this a fighting chance, I
can't eat the seaweed. That's the thing about
sushi that I don't like. - [Josh] Just tongue
it out from the middle. - Just tongue it out
from the middle, he says. - [Josh] Mm-hmm. - I'll let the ginger be
the after burner here. Get some of the sweet, get
some of the wasabi as well, sweet wasabi and sweet soy. - Is that a piece of chewed gum? - (chuckles) You gotta use
the chopsticks to get it 'cause it's very hard. It's congealed a little
bit, whatever you did to it to make it sweet also made
it a little congealed. - Okay. I'm gonna tongue this out. - I'm gonna go halvesies. - I mean some sushi has
sweet junk all over it. Ponzu whatnot. (crew laughs) - Yeah but not this much. It's way too much for me. - I need the sweetness
to overcome the fact that I'm eating sushi. - It's unsettling for
me and I think anyone who likes sushi for sushi reasons
is not gonna be into that. - I like it but it does
taste like a dessert. - [Josh] You say that
like it's a bad thing. - Yeah I didn't approach
it as a dessert sushi but if you do, I think you'll like it. - Spicy cookie dough. - [Josh] Yeah so it's chocolate
chipless cookie dough-- - No!
- Which Link loves and then ghost pepper
which Link also loves. - Ghost pepper.
- I-- - [Josh] Just a scosche. - Crap.
- Get a big bite, man. Get a big bite. - I love the consistency. - Oh this one sneaks up on ya. Ooh. - It's not even spicy. - No it sneaks up on you. It's not nearly as spicy as the Slurpee. I really like this.
- Oh oh oh. Whoa, you're right. I'm frickin'-- - You're like seven seconds behind. - I got scared because
you said ghost pepper. It wasn't nearly as hot
as the previous round. - This one's easy. - It's palatable. I mean I could fight for
that but I'm not going to. Were you guys correct?
- I thought this was awful. I thought this was great. - [Stevie] 60% of the MBs
thought you would like spicy cookie dough better. - Yeah.
- You did it again. - I recommend this. - You guys are gonna get
some shout-outs in More. (Rhett grunts)
(rhythmic music) Nashville hot chicken, Nashville hot. Everybody's Nashville
hot chickening stuff, even Panda freaking Express. So we're gonna do it too
but we're gonna flip it with a McFlurry because
that's a good chaser for some hot chicken. - [Rhett] Okay so we got sweet chicken. What's on the bottom? - [Josh] It's a angel food
cake instead of white bread. - It looks like bad chicken,
like something's turnt on it. Like you know-- - [Rhett] There's still
pickles though, nice touch. - Yeah, sweet pickles.
- Sweet pickles. - Are you sure this is not an
episode of Leaving Things In? - [Josh] I'm not sure of anything anymore. - [Link] 'Cause it looks
like this has been left in something wrong.
- It smells like a donut and I will say, I mean
you enjoy putting chicken and waffles and syrup
and hot sauce together. So this is--
- True. - Seems like a shortcut.
- It actually is covered in donut glaze and then
cinnamon sugar so you're right. - Good gosh. - I'm gonna go just
straight chicken first. Man, that's good. - What the freakin' crap. The things that happen on this show, I just feel like it's
a privilege to be here. Like, we come in, we
sit down in this chair. We're like, oh yeah, that
sounds like a crazy idea, do it. And then we come, we sit down
in this frickin' this chair and we get served a new thing that should have been around forever. - I think this has been around but it hasn't been done like this. People have gotten to
this combination of tastes in indirect ways by putting
like chicken on a donut. - It's been dangling in front of our faces the entire time.
- But just to go straight sweet on the chicken itself-- - Donut glazed fried chicken. - Now I will tell you, you know
what would make it perfect? Hot sauce on top of it. - Yeah.
- But this isn't about sweet and spicy, this is sweet or spicy. - This can't beat it. - Well I don't know. It's a McFlurry. - I mean we just had, we've had coldness. - All right so what makes this spicy? - [Josh] Well so it's
jalapenos blended directly into the McFlurry and
then there's Hot Cheetos and Takis on top. - [Link] Okay a little window dressing. - Hot Cheetos and Takis.
- And hotness. That is odd. That is not bad. - You know what, it's not bad but this was life changing so-- - Hold on, I don't wanna sell this short because this is actually frickin' amazing. Yes this is mind blowing. - This is like a spicy ice cream which-- - The Slurpee was horrible, this-- - My favorite spicy sweet
was the cookie dough though. I think this is not as
good as the cookie dough. Something about the
jalapenos don't work as well as the ghost pepper. - Josh I'm not trying
to kiss your butt, man, but you did a good job on this. - Okay let's--
- Did you guys-- - Let's see who agrees.
- Did you guys predict this? - [Stevie] 70% of the MBs
thought you would like Nashville sweet chicken better. - Four for four. You know us so well. - Mm-hmm, all right, thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing. - You know what time it is. - Yo, I'm Alex. - And I'm Zack. - And we just did a spicy
Korean noodle challenge. - Hell yeah. - And it's time to--
(Zack laughs) It's time to spin the
Wheel of Mythicality. (Link laughs)
- What? Having fun in the kitchen. - I love it! - Click the top link to
watch us play Candy Crush in real life in Good Mythical More. - And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land. - [Rhett] Look, feel and
smell your Mythical best with our Mythical grooming collection available at Mythical.com.
Anyone else have the uncomfortable feeling of hanging out with your married friends right after they've clearly had a fight?
My husband walked in while I was watching and asked me if Link was fake-hiccuping during the habanero slushy LOL because it was super loud and stopped abruptly
What’s going on with Rhett’s beard? It’s so long. And his hair is wild. I’m liking it. But what if he gets a haircut! I can’t even.
Anyone else relate to the picky eating of LInk.
That’s exactly what I thought
Okay no one said it yet so... SUGAR CHICKEN!!
