- Today, we ask the age-old question. Will it protein bar? - Let's talk about that. (bright upbeat music) (firing crackling)
(air whooshes) - "Good Mythical Morning!" - Well, January is almost over, and maybe that means your
New Year's resolution to be fit is no longer working out, but sometimes feeling fit is as simple as chowing down on a good
old-fashioned protein. However, there'll be nothing old-fashioned about the protein filled chew blocks we're gonna be chomping down on today. Will these swole-style culinary
curiosities raise the bar or give our stomachs
physical and emotional scars? It's time for - [Both] "Will It Protein Bar?" (hard rock music) - Whether you're into sugary drizzles, chemicals you can't pronounce,
or something organic, what makes a protein bar a
protein bar is pretty simple. Number one, it's a bar.
- It's a bar, - And two, it's got a
high proportion of protein to carbohydrates or fats. So all our bars today will have at least 20 grams of protein. - Ooh, therefore we thought we'd kick off our mythical protein bar initiation with a delicious breakfast treat that's been seriously lacking
in the protein department, the pop-tart, and we're calling this one the squat tart.
- Oh yeah. - Look at this packaging. - Last year was the first year
that I got into the squat. My back's finally in a place
where I can squat, bro. - Okay. - You ought to see me squat. - Oh you ought to see me squat. - You ought to see me squat. - Yeah, it's not what your
Instagram is gonna become, is it? - No, I'm thinking about it. - I mean, who would do that? Who put like the workout
stuff on their Instagram? - [Josh] Oh, terrible
narcissus, that's who. - All right, Mythical staff Josh, tell us what you've done as a, oh, daddy, look at that! - [Josh] So what I've done is I did a, what I've done as I'd done
a pop tart crust bottom that I mashed a bunch
of strawberry pop-tarts of strawberry whey protein, a little bit of almond
milk and almond meal, topped that with a
strawberry whey protein glaze and some sprinkles for fun. - You mind if I break it in half? - It does look very very fun, and you know what, it only
has 35 grams of sugar. - [Josh] There's some
stevia extract in there. - Well you know what,
sometimes you need that like if you're gonna go like
one of those 100 mile runs. You got a carb load. - [Josh] Yeah, do some bicep curls, you need to carb load. - Dink it, and sink it. Now I'm not comparing this to pop-tarts. I'm comparing it to protein bars, to other protein bars. - This is definitely the best
protein bar I've ever eaten. - I think it's pretty dry, but that's just protein bar baseline. You're gonna have to chew it a lot, even give your mouth a little workout, burn a couple extra
calories in the process. (grunts) My lats are getting hard, oh! - It's going straight to your lats? - My delts are getting bone, domed, not boned.
(everyone laughs) - My delts are getting
boned tonight. (laughs) - (grunts) This is gonna
be my test. (grunts) - I don't even know what that means. - All right.
- Okay. Yeah, this is good, so we're saying - Pop tarts.
- Pop tarts. Will it protein bar? - [Both] Yes.
(bell dings) - Protein bars are a magical
treat that fuel your muscles. IKEA is a magical place where people pay to build their own furniture. So what happens when you combine the two? Well, say hello to the IKEA protein bar, aka muskelskarsgard. That's just Swedish for
muscles, and then just, I put skarsgard in there because you know. - He's Swedish, the whole family. - Yeah.
- Whole family of actors. All right, so we're gonna open this thing. I want you to look, look at that. I just want you to look in there. - I'm gonna do what I
typically do, I just dump it. - And then you've got the
instructions of course. So usually what I'll do is
I'll just kind of you know. - I just look at the
front of the instructions to know what I'm supposed to be building, but never open them. - Yep. Now these pieces here, Josh,
do not appear to be edible. - [Josh] There's no protein in them. - Okay, now what else have you done here? - [Josh] All right, so
I took lingonberry jam, and I mixed that with
a vegan hemp protein, and then I took mashed potatoes and mixed that with vegan hemp protein. Then that is Swedish crisp
bread I made from rye, vegan hemp protein, and
then a meatballs and gravy. - And what is this adhesive? - [Josh] Ah, protein goo. - The thing I'm most excited about is I have a distinct sensation that when I get to the end of this, there's not gonna be any parts left over. You're not doing it like the picture, man. I think you're doing in a
way that makes more sense, but the picture clearly has the
top fitting inside of there. - Well you know.
- You did it wrong, man! - I did do it wrong, but - I don't think mine's gonna stand up. - it's already done, so. - I'm gonna try though. I'm gonna see how good
this adhesive works. - [Josh] It's also pronounced. - I wanna see how good
this adhesive tastes. - [Josh] Scottish guard. - Scottish guard. - [Josh] That is real. - It just tastes like icing. That's pretty good. Okay, so. - I'm doing it like they said, Josh. - [Josh] You're both doing great. - So what is it? This is like an entertainment console. - [Josh] That's exactly what is. - Television up here,
put your VCR down here. - [Josh] It's an entertainment console. (multiple laughs) - You just rocked my world with that pun. All right, so these-- - Leave daddy alone! - Good gosh, that's loud. - Kids, get out of here! I don't need your help! No, I don't need your help! - Ooh, what's this piece? - [Josh] That's the meatball. (coughs)
- All right. I'm gonna enjoy this, I
believe, as was intended and that is to get. Oh, this is just, these are both meat? - [Josh] No, crisp bread. So that should be on the bottom. - Mm, dirt bread is hard to bite into. - [Josh] A little smaller bread. - No, I don't have the
right size mouth for this. - I literally cannot bite into the bread. - [Josh] IKEA, sometimes
you gotta sacrifice quality. - I'm sorry, I'm doing insult the chef, but I'm gonna have to go
for one piece of bread. - That bread is inedible,
you gotta take that part off. (grunts) I can't get through that. - I think I'm gonna hurt
myself if I keep trying that. - [Josh] Really meant more
for structural integrity. - I could just go like this. - So the lingonberry
and the mashed potato. - (grunts) Very structurally sound. - [Josh] Thank you. - This is tough, this is a tough moment. - Hey, the flavor's nice though. - [Josh] Right? - Most of my jaw got through it. - It's literally like eating furniture. I mean it's no different. - You know what, I really love the vision, and I even like the execution, but the part where we tried to eat it didn't work out so well. - [Josh] That's important to some. - IKEA, will it protein bar? No.
(buzzard buzzes) We gotta give Josh credit. He makes some amazing
things that you get to enjoy watching us enjoy eating, but as part of the
Mythical Kitchen launch, we knew we wanted to start posting videos that teach you how to make
some of the amazing things that we've gotten to enjoy. - So you can enjoy them. - So go over there to the
Mythical Kitchen channel. Subscribe, click that bell. There's a video right now
where Josh teaches you how to make the in-and-out
animal style mac and cheese. Yes, it's good.
- So check it out. - Real good.
- Subscribe it up. Every week, we're gonna be posting recipes and other series over there, so. Yes, okay, Buca di Beppo is great because as a family man
I like a family meal plan that the whole family can stand, but is Buca di Beppo still good when the family's trying to pump iron? We're calling this one Buca di Big Boy. (both laugh) It is a big boy. - Whoa. - So I guess I'm just gonna
open it from this end, and then we're gonna, shh-k, unsheathe it. - Yeah, unsheathe it. They're known for doing things big there. They got those extra large meatballs. Everything's family style. - (sniffs) Oh, that's a strong scent. - [Josh] Oh yeah, yeah it is. - Just kind of.
- Yeah. Wanna grab the bar from inside? - Kind of ramp it out, there we go. - Up, okay, all right. - Oh, that's half of it, keep going. There's more, there's more. Push it this way, nope. There we go. - Okay, yeah. Nobody saw the brakes.
(Josh laughs) - There it is. - It's together. Boy, it smells like I walked into a, you know, like a so-so Italian restaurant. (both laugh) Don't get your hopes up. - There's like a meatball eye of Sauron in the middle of this thing. - [Josh] It sees everything. - What's happening here, Josh? - [Josh] Oh, too much. So what we do is we took
a whole Caesar salad and we took a whole plate
of spaghetti bolognaise or spaghetti swolognaise and
then we blend that together with a little bit of whey
protein, melted that, and then we've topped it with a strawberry gelato protein drizzle, and then there's a large
family-style meatball in the middle. - Yeah, it says here that you've got 560 grams of protein in this. - [Josh] Yes, there's a lot. (laughs)
There's a lot of mostly just straight
whey protein powder. - Yeah, that might get you through a week. - [Josh] Yeah. - You wanna break off
a piece from over here? Like the wilted lettuce is scary. - Does it excite you? - Well, what is what is the drizzle? - [Josh] Strawberry gelato. - Oh, dessert.
- And hank it. - And snake it. - It's actually not bad. - It's not. I mean I've been Buca di
Beppo a couple of times, - Yep. and I've been kind of excited about eating a lot of Italian food, but
then when they brought me the Italian food and I ate it, I was like, okay, this is not a whole
lot to get excited about. (grunts) And it kind of reminded me of
what's happening right now. - Hey, yeah. I mean, for what it is, the fact that you got to
make it into a protein bar, totally nailed it, and I
kind of like it just enough. - Buca di Beppo, will it protein bar? - [Both] Yes!
(bell dings) - An hour-long workout,
the average person can fill between one and two big
gulps worth of sweat. - Yeah, according to recent studies. - So you know if you're
getting that nasty, you want a protein bar
that can might combat that stank a little bit. So we have made a protein deodorant bar, aka Stop And Smell The Bro-tein. (sighs)
(moans) - Okay, it looks like deodorant. (laughs) It really does. - [Josh] Well, there's a
lot of deodorant in there, but there's also a lot of protein. Nothing do it, but to do it. Yep. - I mean. You're not gonna get,
yours got real milky. I mean, I'm a hit both. (multiple laughs) It smells good. I mean the deodorant part is
the part I'm confident in. This is definitely still legit deodorant. - You didn't bring any
hairs down with you. Why's mine so wet? - [Josh] That's on you, man. - And then I guess I'm
gonna take it up real high if I'm gonna, I mean, 'cause
you got to eat the whole thing. - [Josh] Yeah, you gotta get
all the flavors, it's layered-- Ooh, different flavors, flavors. - Don't go too far, don't go too far. - Why not? - You don't have it to fall over. 'Cause you've reached the limit there. - Okay, that's it. - All right, I don't want it. There's no dinking in this world. I've already dinked myself. (laughs) - [Woman] Oh god. - It's not food. - This does not seem edible. - Yeah, man. I mean we had to try it to see if it was a good idea of course. - Maybe we'll start liking it the more we scrape our tongues with it. - The more we get it out of our mouths. Okay, pretty simple answer here. Deodorant, will it protein bar? - [Both] No!
(buzzard buzzes) - Exercising is good because
it gets your blood pumping. So obviously having a protein bar that's made out of the organ
known for filtering blood can only make things better, right? - Right.
- Right? - Right. - Well, that organ is a pig spleen. - This is the pro spleen bar. - We've been given medical trays which does not make me feel good about what's about to happen. - I'm a bit afraid. - I think the spleen is important. I'm pretty sure that this pig is dead now. - Yeah, it's not like wool. - Oh gosh. Okay, Josh. - Well, it looks chocolatey. - There seems to be some chocolate. - [Josh] There's in fact no chocolate. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
there's no chocolate? - [Josh] There's no chocolate. There's a little bit of cacao powder just in the glaze, but
all of the brown you see, well, that's just pure pig spleen that's been swoled for safety. - 40 grams of protein,
zero grams of sugar. - [Josh] Zero sugar. - I can't eat, it's. Now 'cause some people
are on that carnivore diet we're they eat nothing but meat products. This could be something that
could catch on with them. I'm assuming it tastes good which we're about to find out and confirm. - See now if you look,
yeah, look at the middle. It's got that like a gooey cylinder down the center of it. - I'm gonna go from the end
because I want a flat bite. - Where gonna get it down! - Do it, do it, do it. (coughs) (groans) (howls) (grunts) Come on, double man squat. (grunting) Your breath smell horrible. (murmurs) I can't chew and do that at the same time. (gags) (grunts) - Ah! I did it. You can do it too, Rhett. - There's so much!
(claps) There's so much, but I'm committed! - Push! I'm committed to be swole. - Push! Push! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. - Ah! - Yeah, we did it! You know what, we're
going to do that again 'cause I wasn't rolling on my Instagram. (laughs) Yeah, well, that's pretty good. - Spleens, will it protein bar? - No!
(buzzard buzzes) When crazy? - Not at all. But pop-tarts and
somehow Buca di Beppo do. Oh, again, want to remind you, go over to the Mythical Kitchen channel, check out to learn how to empower yourself to do amazing stuff
like mythical chef Josh. - Thanks for subscribing
and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - I'm Kelsey, and this is Henry, and we're eating Almond Joys in Taiwan, and it's time to spin
the Wheel of Mythicality. - You think they come with
M&Ms on them in Taiwan, or is that something that they just added? - That's something we did. - Okay, we did that? - Yeah. - Oh good.
(bright upbeat music) Click the top link to watch us try Josh's homemade protein shakes
in "Good Mythical More." - And to find out where
the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. - There's never been a
time where someone's like, wow, this mac and cheese was too cheesy. It's like this Harry Potter movie didn't have enough magical
scenes of Quidditch. I don't need the wizard battles,
like I don't need the plot. I'm there for the Quidditch.
I don't know how "the algorithm" works, but every commercial for this episode and today's More, was for protein bars. I don't eat, buy, or search for them.
Amusing.
yes im back again pretty early I love GMM anyways Gooood Mythical Morning people!
