portion of today's episode. Okay, so how do we feel about brownies? - I actually worry for brownies a lot. - Okay.
- I mean, there are no red foods
out there called reddies. - Yeah, that's true. - There's no blueys, there's no greenies. There's just brownies. I feel like they're lonely. - Well, good news is
brownies are an inanimate and probably don't care. - It's time for, will it brownie?
- Will it brownie? To earn the esteemed title of brownie, all you gotta do is be a baked good made with chocolate and square in shape. The rest is up to our imagination. - Okay, as I've gotten older and wiser, I've learned to live by three words. What the hell? (Link chuckles) - It's already 1:00 AM but
I'm only five episodes away from finishing the latest season
of my favorite telenovela. What the hell? Let a good times roll. When a certain child of
mine tells me they love me. What the hell? I'll tell 'em I love 'em back. - (Link chuckles) Okay. - And since brownies are vegetarian and veggie lasagna is vegetarian, I thought, what the hell,
let's put 'em together. Here we have brownie de pesto. - [Josh] This is a great idea, right? - Of course. Right, Josh? It's a great idea. - What did you do? - [Josh] This is a real,
what the hell brownie. So it's brownie batter studded
with sun-dried tomatoes, layered with ricotta,
mascarpone and cream cheese, a sweetened bechamel and
then a homemade sweet pesto. - So it's like putting an Italian dinner and the dessert together into one meal. If you're in a hurry,
sometimes you're in a hurry. Sometimes it's a date night and you got a early
morning the next morning, - You just want to get it over with? - Well, you wanna get dinner over with. - That's not good date energy. - No, you wanna get the, dinner over with.
- Dinner over with. - So you can drive home. - Yep, the drive home is always
my favorite part of a date. - Yep. Right? - I don't know Josh. I'm gonna make a prediction. - Whoa, oh man. - That this isn't gonna... This isn't gonna be bad. - The aroma. - [Josh] There's a lot going on. Also Italians famously love
when you mess with their food. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to all you watching. - [Josh] Yeah, the garlic gets ya. - Yeah, it's garlicky and that, sun-dried tomatoes.
- sun-dried tomatoes, is tough, Rhett. - The sun-dried tomatoes
and the chocolate. - [Josh] That was the only
part I thought would be good. - No, that doesn't work together. - It's so weird though. - I like the sun-dried tomato though. - But just think about it. Date night's short tonight. The dinner part. - Oh yeah. - I'm just doing positive associations. You're driving home. - Look at that, we get to see the road. - Oh, hopefully the kids
won't have some problem that we have to think
about when we get home. - Oh. - And if they do, we'll be
like, "Kids, give us 30 minutes and we'll think about your problems". - I mean, 30 minutes.
- That's all you need. - I'm gonna try another
bite without the tomato. 'cause I wanted to like
this, but I'm not so far. - I guess I'll try again too. - 'Cause the cheesy part and
the chocolate part should work, but... mm. - It's the Italian seasoning. - Shoot. - [Josh] So you're saying
it's the Italian's fault. - It's the Italian's fault. - [Josh] Blame them, not me. - Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah. It's the veggie lasagna's fault. - Incredible effort but veggie lasagna, will it brownie? No.
- No. - Now have you ever had a blue raspberry? - No.
- No. - Because they don't exist. So if blue isn't the
flavor of blue raspberries, then what is it the flavor of? Can you look at me in the eye and tell me with absolute certainty that we haven't been
tasting blue bird droppings this entire time. Because I for one, can't look
myself in the eye at all. At least not without a mirror. But that's not my point. My point is we put some
blue raspberry in a brownie. Behold, the blue ras brownie. - Nice. Even though they don't exist,
they are in this brownie. So Josh, what did you do? - [Josh] Well, first we
invented a new genus of fruit. No, it's a lightly cocoaed
blue raspberry brownie batter filled with blue raspberry
taffy, popping candy, gummy bears, a little
bit of blue ras caramel. - Ooh, there's some popping candy in here. Let's start off with a
little taste of the bear. - Nope, that was gonna
put you in the hospital all afternoon. No more. - That feels a little overprotective and intrusive, Chase. - I feel cared for, actually. - Oh. - Fine, I'll...
- Okay. - Eat one like this. - I'm going hands on. - Now these...
- Oh gosh. - I would call this a blondie slash bluey. Right? Which I like. Ooh, and it is gooey. - [Josh] Cocoa in there. - It is...
- Oh, oh, oh, oh. - It is stuck to the bottom of this plate. Oh my gosh. There's a whole bottom layer of just... - And it's got the, like the... Gummy.
- Gummy. The gelatinous ness of
the... is that a word? - [Josh] Yeah, gelatinous ness ness. - The gelatinous ness ness. - Woo, that is juicy. - This really, really works. - The best brownies are
the ones that are gooey. I'm a center of the pan man. You know what I'm saying? Are you a corner boy? - [Josh] We actually
gave you a corner piece and a centerpiece if you wanna choose. - But here's the thing about-
- You got the corner piece. - The consistency of this is gonna be through the whole brownie. Traditional brownies, only
the middle has the gooeyness. Every single brownie in this
pan is gonna have gooeyness. So are you a gooey man, not a corner man? - I'm a whatever you
gimme, I'm gonna enjoy. But I-
- Of course you are. - But I appreciate the gooeyness. I like the gooeyness to be
designed into the recipe. - Motivated.
- Not just to be, oh, this didn't get cooked enough. You know what I'm saying? Doesn't matter how you cooked
these, the gooeyness is, the gelatinous ness is gonna be around. - And the blue raspberry
really suits this blondie. - Very complimentary. - I'm loving this. I mean, this is a thing. - Blue raspberry, will it brownie? Yes.
- Yes. Nowadays, salt and vinegar
stuff is everywhere. Chips, almond, seaweed,
pork rinds, everything. But the one place that
you're not seeing S and V, as I call it, is on the dessert menu. Is this a missed opportunity? Presenting the salt and vinny brinny. - Hey listen, I love salted chocolate. - Yes.
- The idea that you add a little vinegar in there, I mean, I've got some high hopes for this. Is it gonna be gross? Is it gonna be good? - I'll take the corner this time. Josh, what'd you do? Oh.
- Whoa. So we heavily salted and
vinegared some brownie batter. There's a lot of chocolate chips in there, a lot of salt and vinegar chips mixed in, and then it's topped with
salt and vinegar chips. - The vinegar is pungent. - Yeah. - Look again, how... you
get things so moist, Josh. - [Josh] We pride
ourselves on our moistness in the Mythical Kitchen. - I mean, it's just so
moist, it's so heavy. - Find a moister department
in all the company, you won't. - You're the, hey you're the most moist. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We have, here at Mythical, a newly launched moist department. - Yeah. Yeah. All they do is they just,
they have like steamers... - And humidifiers. A lot of humidifiers.
- And humidifiers. And like portable showers. - [Josh] Phasing us out? - No, I'm just saying you got, uh... - No, you're just being... - You gotta turn the moistureness up. - We just want you to focus on moisture. - I wanna focus on this. - We can get moisture if
that's what it's about. - No, that's not. No, that's not. Don't be threatened. - Moister or moisture?
- They can help you. My wife loves the salt and vinegar. Well, she would not love this. All that talk about moist. You know the one thing that
I'm not liking about this? - Uh?
- The vinegar. - Yeah, that makes sense.
- Yeah. - It's causing a lot of the moisture too, if we're being honest. - Yeah. - This brownie is sweating
and it's apologizing. Oh, okay. Yeah, I get it. It's not your fault. Next time we'll put the
moisture department on it, instead of the Mythical Kitchen. - I've never had so much
anticipation for something. I thought this was just dripping with whatever makes brownies drip. Rhett is saying-
- Usually it's not vinegar. - You've never been more
disappointed on this show? - I've never gotten so ready
for something so moist. (crew laughs) Something that seemed
so ready to be enjoyed. - Keep your humor dry about it. - Everything about this was like, I am ready for the taking. - And then?
- And then I tasted it, and I was like, whoa. - It's bad. - Yeah.
- It's just bad. - I'm getting off this train right now. Yeah, the vinegar's the problem. - Salt and vinegar, will it brownie? No.
- No. - Important message. Respect cafeteria workers. - Yes. - Or better yet, befriend them, so you get to sample the
crazy kitchen creations they usually reserve only for
themselves, like this one. The sloppy Joe brownie. - This is a sloppy Joe meets a brownie. - Meats. - Huh?
- Yeah. We meated a brownie with sloppy Joe. It's a sloppy Joe infused brownie. Oh gosh. - [Josh] Yeah, a lot
more meat in that brownie than you'd typically find in a brownie. - You know, speaking
of cafeteria workers... - It's meat loafy. - Your Aunt Vicky, long
time cafeteria worker. - Yeah, long time aunt. - Long time aunt.
- My entire life. - I mean, not to be a
downer, she recently passed. - She did, may she rest in peace. - She lived a long, full life.
- Yep. She's in the cafeteria of heaven now slopping the Joe's for... - That's how it works. - For, I don't know, Peter, Paul and Mary. - Yeah. (all laugh) - Yep, mm-hmm, that's all of 'em. - Yeah, she was a cafeteria worker. She's the best of them. - So you wanted to, I mean,
is this a little shout out? Little shout out to Aunt Vicky. Like, do you wanna, you
know what I'm saying? This is an opportunity, you
look up and you kind of- - I need to taste it first. (Rhett laughs) You know what I'm saying? I don't wanna honor my great aunt, the cafeteria worker's, legacy... - You don't wanna tarnish it.
- With being grossed up. - You don't wanna tarnish it. - I don't wanna gross it up. - So, okay. So, I mean, I'm just saying,
if you're enjoying it, you can kind of toss one up, you know. I'm gonna follow your lead. However you respond to
this, I'm gonna be there. - Why don't we just pour one
out on the curb afterward? - Milk? Just a carton of milk? - Or just the rest of this? - Sweet acidophilus. - Stevie, you know what I'm talking about. - Stevie knows that what
you're talking about. (Stevie laughs) Shall we dink it? - Yeah. - Shall we sink it? - It is not bad. It takes like mole. (Link laughs) - You might just be eating
the sloppy Joe off the top. Get some more-
- No, I got to the brownie. - First of all, a sloppy
Joe is a sweet meat, right? It already has a lot of sugar in that barbecue sauce or whatever it is. - That's a good point. Sweet meat. - It's like just turning up the chocolate. I'm just trying to make
a moment for Aunt Vicky. I just... but I also really do like it. I'm not just acting. I mean, I'm not saying
I would request this given the option of a
brownie and a sloppy Joe. - The bar is lower at a
cafeteria, let's be real. School cafeteria, you
take what you can get. I think it works. I think it's interesting. I think it, yeah, once you say mole- - Say it to Aunt Vicky. - Say this is all for Aunt Vicky. - You gonna make me talk
to my dead Aunt Vicky? - Just, (smacks lips) to the front. I just... Can you do that? - I'm giving this one
up to my dead Aunt Vicky because she was a freaking sweetheart. And Aunt Vicky, if you're watching, I don't know how but I
hope I'm making you proud. - And then this, and then this. - Two kisses?
- Two kisses. We'll do it together. Sloppy Joe, will it brownie? Yes.
- Yes. For this one, I was told
that the Mythical Kitcheneers had to ninja secret
agent and notary public their way through a top
secret chocolate sea lab. - Yep. - To get their hands on the
meat ingredient for this one. It's the meet cute between
the brownie and the ocean that we've all been waiting for. Introducing, eel you be my brownie? Eel you be my brownie? - And that's an eel head. - [Josh] Yeah, well we believe in using the whole eel
in the Mythical Kitchen, so the body is actually
inside of the brownie and then we've put the
head on top for garnish. The chef recommends sucking off the head before then moving to
the base of the brownie. - No, no. - What's the sauce? - [Josh] Eel sauce. - Okay. (crew laughs) - [Josh] Eel sauce. - I walked right into that one. - So you're saying you want us
to suck the back of the head? - [Josh] Yeah, just to
get some of the juice out. - Ew.
- Just, sort of, prime the pallet. - So like, suck the back of that? - [Josh] You know how
we feel about moisture. - Then bite some of this.
- Mm-hmm. Watch out for bones. - In the brownie? - No, no, no, just in the head, we've... - Well, I'm just sucking the head. - Ugh, what are the lighter
dark pieces in the brownie? - [Josh] Eel. (crew laughs) - Ugh. - Eels have multiple parts and they're all inside these brownies. - [Josh] Yeah. - All right, grab your head. - It's all about mindset, right? - Grab the head. - Tell me something. When you said the thing about mole, it really turned the
sloppy Joe into something that I wanted to connect
with dead relatives. What can you do for me here? - Eels are like nature's noodle. - Hah. Nature's noodle. - [Rhett] Nature's noodle. - Okay. - So you can make your own noodles or you can let nature make your noodles and they'll swim right into your mouth. (crew laughs) - Let nature swim its
noodle into your mouth. - Do you want nature's
noodle in your mouth? - That's not what they taught
me in scuba diving training. If you see a nature noodle- - Close your mouth.
- Open your mouth, like... Just start sucking in. - If you go to one of
those Moray eel homes and you just stick your
mouth right on top of it they will swim right into your... They'll go right in your stomach. - Oh gosh, that's like a
underwater horror movie that I... That's a horrible thought. - Eel hole, in theaters now. - Er, eel hole? - Eel hole. - That's what you call your mouth. - I think it's called nature's noodle. The tale of the eel hole. I'm gonna suck on this head and then I'm gonna eat the brownie. - Yeah.
- 3, 2, 1. - Ugh. (Link gags) - I think the air came through his mouth. The air came through the eel's mouth into the back of it and into my mouth. So I just got eel filtered air. - Is there a chocolate chip in here? Please tell me that was a chocolate chip. - [Josh] No, if I had to guess what part of the eel that was, I'd say it's his knee. (crew laughs) - You know eels, all knees. One big knee. - You know what it needs? Vinegar. - Yeah. - Well they should just
saved all that vinegar. - Man. - I mean seafood in a brownie. It's just not a good idea.
- We crossed the line. - It's not a good idea.
- And we can't return. - Woo, that was bad, that was bad. Nature's noodle needs to go away. - Nature's noodle, will it brownie? No.
- No. Gosh. - We had some victories today.
- You know, valiant effort. Thank you for everything you put together. Even the ones that didn't
will, it's a success. I just wanna reinforce that. - Yeah.

Sounds like an excellent future GMMore to me!
Please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed some slight changes to the intro this episode. The one that made me do a double take was chocolate (brownie batter?) In the sink
