Are These "Nasty" Foods ACTUALLY Good?

Can we tell if someone hates the food just by watching them eat it? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. You might be surprised, but we here at Mythical are sticklers for good table manners. And sometimes in polite society, we're forced to pretend to enjoy food that in reality, we don't really like. Well, I can't even imagine doing that because. I like everything. Of course. Of course you do.

But the Mythical crew is another story. They have a wide array of diverse palates. Some who are picky eaters, and some who can't get enough of the funkiest, weirdest, and most commonly hated foods around. But. are our BS detectors strong enough to pick out a bluffing. hater trying to be polite? It's time for... making ourselves look better by spotlighting our employees weird tastes. Okay, boys, it's time to play Face Detectives.

But before I explain what that means, please say hello to our first lineup of Mythical crew members. Hello, first lineup. Jordan. Jordan, Matt, and Rachel. You guys look hungry. Yeah, I love food. And what I was told, Stevie, is that everyone. on our panel. either loves or hates. Oh, wow. Okay, so you're gonna tell me how it works, but then. check if that's the case. Sometimes Chase comes and whispers things in my ear.

go ahead. So everyone loves or hates. these foods. These polarizing foods. We have to watch them each eat it. Like these oysters. We also will eat it, and then we will be guessing... whether they... like it or hate it. Like, gets a check, hate gets an X. But we don't have to eat it. Right? Did I just make you irrelevant? No, because. Okay, I'll take back my good job.

on the. tip of my tongue. I'm kidding. Yes. You got it all correct. At least one person. loves the thing, and at least one person. absolutely hates the thing. So it's not like. everybody else loves it, but you have at least one on either thing. And yes, the whole point is that they're going to try and fool you, because. if you guess the one that actually hates the thing, they're gonna have to eat an additional thing. that they hate. We're coming for you.

What is this? What is this stuff? That's vinegar with onions in it. Trust me. Load it up. Yeah, I want that. This is mine. Load it up with Tabasco. And this sauce, like, that's the whole point of oysters. It's a delivery mechanism for whatever you put on them. See? And look, even your brow furrowed. I'm concentrating. But you like it? I like vinegar and Tabasco sauce. Would you like to know what it looks like when you don't like it.

But can you look like you do like it? there's much worse things, I think. It's slimy, it's uncooked. It takes all of these other things in order to distract you from. what it is you're eating. I don't know why anybody does it. And it can give you a crazy, like, illness. Well, you know, a bad oyster can. But these are all good oysters, right, Jordan Myrick, you're gonna show us how. What? Yeah, it's an aphrodisiac.

Perfect. I'm already horny. Is the... All right. Oh, oh, oh. A little technique. Ooh, a little. Had to bring in the other finger there. Tell us about it. What do you like about it? Myrick? Oh, it's so fresh and briny. It tastes like drinking the ocean. Mm. Okay. All right. Got a clue there. I always had oysters with my Auntie Sandra, who lives in the Big Easy. It was a big tradition we had. Every time I go visit her there, we always have oysters,

and it's. the highlight of my year. Listening to jazz together. Listening to jazz, rooting for the saints. Other things about New Orleans. Po'boy. yeah, Po boys. What a good sandwich. Yeah, a fun New Orleans treat. Down the hatch. Okay, he's. But. he didn't swallow. Whoa, whoa, whoa. He's keeping it in the mouth. His eyes are watering. Yeah, yeah. I think it's just he had a weird relationship with Aunt Sandra.

That's what he's remembering. I just had a memory of a rough Christmas. I don't know, man. When you literally start crying, I don't think that means you like it. That shift of the eyes to the left. Like, that was what did it to me. But wait. I'm so horny now. All right, Matt Lieb. Okay, it's time for my favorite dish. Oysters. I actually do.

enjoy oysters. He's nervous. Everything's slippery. I love a good, slippery dish. You love oysters and you hold lemons all the time. Yes, yes. I'm always holding lemons. Tabasco. All the things are too small for your hands. Is this what normal sized people eat when they want to be fancy? That's a normal sized Tabasco bottle. Yeah, I mean, he's still using everything. I'm just waiting for somebody to just not use anything and love the oyster.

Okay, now it's time to eat the oyster. I actually. Again, I enjoy it. For real. It's one of the best dishes you can. pay for because it's expensive, but it's fresh. You know, you're eating fancy food, which I love. That's true. That's one of the fanciest people on this. panel. Are we discovering that it's impossible? Keep it coming. It's impossible to look like you're enjoying oysters even if you do.

I think so. Yeah. I never put the. onion thing on it before, and those are. I maybe overdid it. Yeah, it's a little vinegary. Wow, that does make it tough. Rachel, you want to go just raw dog it? All right, Rachel. Well, you know, I like to have a little bit of protection every time. So I'm gonna do a little bit. Of lemon on here. Link, stop. We're already horny enough. Sorry. Sorry. And I'm just gonna do a little bit of this. I love a little Tabasco, but it might be a little too.

I'm not actually. I'm actually. I actually hate Tabasco... Why'd I lie? But. I think it's a beautiful thing, and it's such a tiny bottle, which I like. So you're not. But you didn't put it on there. I won't be putting it on there because I don't really like Tabasco. Okay. Fair. It's too watery. This helps us. This helps us out a little bit. Oh, that was quick. Oh, that's beautiful. That's excellent. That's excellent. I got no notes on that oyster. I'm gonna sit back.

Wow. Wow. Okay, guys, you have to use your whiteboards. Was that... Mm. Since... I don't know. it could have been like a, mm hmmm, almost. Every... correct guess on your board gets you one point. Every incorrect guess. deducts a point. The question is, did you buy the aunt. story? Okay, see what you got, Link. I thought that the boys.

did not actually like it, but the girls did like it. I thought that. everyone... except Jordan Morris liked it. Oh, nobody bought the aunt story. Sorry, I make up a lot of fake aunt stories when I'm nervous... It's a tick. Okay, so the only difference is, did Matt Lieb. actually like it, but. kind of lie? I guess. Matt Lieb. Did you. Do you like oysters? You want the real answer?

No, I do not. I do not like oysters. Ah, see, I got you. But in Jordan Morris, you were lying about the aunt. Do you even have an aunt? I do. I have an auntie Sandra, and sometimes in New Orleans, when I visit her, we have deep fried oysters. Which. makes it a little more palatable. Makes it easier to lie. It makes it food. Yeah. Right. And not just pure slime. Mm. Okay, Jordan? I love them. Yes. Yeah. They're so luxurious and fancy, and you can put all kinds of little toppings on them.

Yep, yep. A weighted blanket is luxurious. This is slime. I'd love to wear a weighted blanket and eat an oyster at the same time. That sounds incredible. And, Rachel. Yeah, I genuinely love oysters. They're amazing. They're perfect. Jordan's description is exactly right. They're briny and they taste of the sea. So I nailed it across the board. And. Jordan Morris, you didn't fool either one of us, so you gotta have another one. And Matt Lieb, you... Didn't fool me. You didn't fool Link, so you gotta have another one too.

Can I have a tub of Hidden Valley Ranch to dunk this in? Maybe that would help. Can someone deep fry it, please? Auntie Sandra... She's too far away. So much Tobasco. There you go. And now you don't have to act. You did that so well. There you go. So that's the face you would have been. That's the Jordan Morris we know and love. This is the face. It is nasty, huh? Oh, the way that... I can hear it in his throat. and you're shaking so much.

I know. It's like that second one was way worse than the first one. I'm always shaking because I'm so horny. Okay, next up, we have liver, which I know is your favorite, guys. this is my nemesis. Also, please welcome Leonard, who's joined us over on the Mythical crew's side of things. What's up, Leonard? Hello, Leonard. You got your own. Oh, liver Leonard, they call him. I knew there was liver and onions, and I ran right over.

Okay, now listen, A lot of times that we have liver on this show, it's not prepared in a way that's supposed to be palatable. But this is, like, seasoned and fried. There's onions over here. I'm really gonna try to give it a chance. I'm a big, big fan of onions. I couldn't fake it. if I were you guys. It's just so metallic. tasting. I applaud you for trying. I can't do it. I wanted to... It's so bad.

I mean... I felt like I was gonna do it that time. You know it's bad when you have to, like. wipe your tongue. I don't understand. Jordan and Rachel, your reactions are... I don't understand. Have you guys seen the show before? I hate it. I'm scared. I'm sorry, y'all. And. if it turns out that I mean, one of y'all at least. likes this. Yep, that's right. No judgment, but. a lot of fascination. Let's start. with Jordan.

All right, I like it. I think I like it because. So my parents don't eat meat. And growing up, I didn't eat meat. Cause my parents don't eat meat. And my grandma would make this. So it was the one meat I got to eat. And I think that felt fun to me. Oh, gosh. Wow. So this could be a fake grandma story. I mean, there's dancing happening. Not flinching. Oh, wait, hold on. This one's a little chewy. Okay. But there's still a smile, kinda.

Oh. I can't do it. She did gag. Oh, it was... You were doing so good. You were doing so good. If you don't like it. I really thought I had it. Hey, listen, if you don't like it, it's visceral, isn't it? That was an amazing performance, Myrick. I really thought I paid so much money to get a BFA in acting, and I really thought I had it, and I didn't. I've had other liver. Ooh, I still feel like I'm gonna throw up.

I do not like that. Okay, well, I'll go ahead and put my. I'll go ahead and put my. Wow. You did so good. Just so I don't forget. Yep, that was a true gag. I really almost threw up live on camera for all of you to see. But your grandma, that whole story. That was a lie. And it was very believable. Do you even have a grandma? I have a grandma. My whole family doesn't eat meat, and neither do I, really. So that really was. I said I would do this for this show, and I have to stop saying I'll do stuff for this show.

No, but we we're all so entertained by it. I need a Dr. Pepper. Matt Lieb. She making demands. Oh, it's my turn. We're not doing every other. Okay. All right. So. I grew up eating liver and onions. And so I think if you haven't had liver and onions growing up, then I can see how this is, like, probably. on the list of one of the more disgusting foods that you can, you know, have. But it's actually really good. He's going heavy on those onions.

Yeah, that's a lot of onions. All right. You just gotta go. It was chewy because you took a big. bite of it. You just want to have a little guy. and then some onions, and that's. How, you know you love it. You take a really small bite. That's Right. Yeah. So. Just do it. He's stalling so much. I just wanted to explain myself... Like I said, growing up, eating it, you get used to it. And it just becomes that's just another type of meat, you know? Well, for me, it was...

I like it, but I'm a weirdo who doesn't like oysters, so. Wow, that's very. He's not. That was a. moment of weakness. Moment of weakness, yeah. The swallow's the hard part. We don't go to. It's still in there. It's still in his mouth. Oh, well. But. no, no, no. I'm gonna... No, no, we need the completion. Matt Lieb, swallow. I'm going to. It takes a second. Let's move on. Okay, yeah, we'll move on.

It's his turn. Leonard, we got to make sure he swallows. He loves it. there. There we go. He loves it. Now, I actually also love... I love Dr. I love Dr. Pepper as well. It's okay. So I'm having some, but that. says nothing about it. Oh, wow. He gave it a really good college try.

Yeah, he did. Leonard. Hey. What's going on? Nothing much. I'm so excited to have this nice big plate of liver and onions. Very excited. My dad, when I was growing up, he would eat. fried chicken livers. So this is beef liver. It's very different. A little onion. I don't know if I want the well done one or, you know, I'm a Southern boy, so, you know, onions and fried onions. Where in the south we talking about? I was born in Lynchburg, Virginia. And I lived in Raleigh, North Carolina.

And Atlanta, Georgia. Shut out. Spartanburg, South Carolina. I've been all over, you know. And everywhere you go. A lot of people don't like liver and onions, but. I'm a different kind of fella, you know what I'm saying? Now, I believe that he grew up with. chicken livers. That seemed to believe. I'm going back for a second. Oh, oh, and. throwing some onions in there. Two bites, eyebrows raised. smile on his face. It's a little chalky.

You know, the flavor is still delicious. You want some Dr. Pepper? Yeah, I'll take a little pep. Take a little pep. Carolina boy. You know, a little pep. never hurt anybody. You know, he did the best job so far. I'll go back. I'll do it again. You don't even have to. I love it. Okay. Rachel. I actually didn't know what to do with that. Yeah, well, I do. Typically, like liver and onions.

Everything that's happening so far is making me anxious. But typically, I do like them, and that is real, so. And I'm gonna do a different piece than the other people have been doing, and maybe that's gonna change my experience. The nostrils are flaring. Give her that. That's for her. Oh, wow. Spit it out. There's a gag. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, unfortunately, it's okay.

Spit it out. I think you picked the wrong piece. I do think I picked the wrong piece. But you know what? I'm gonna go and I'll try a different piece. Cause I feel that maybe that piece was the wrong piece for my experience. So. Somebody up there likes liver and onion. Okay, I'm gonna be real. That's not so bad. That's nice. What was happening in the other thing was making me feel unwell. They were just on opposite. Oh, no. There you go. No, I'm good. I'm chilling.

It's just there's pieces of the other one still in my mouth. I'm so confused. She is struggling. Oh, man. That made me anxious too, Rachel. Woo. That was tough. Okay. All right. I think the only person who liked it was Leonard, because, I mean, everybody else was struggling so much. Well, I. Somebody have tried to fool us the opposite way? I was confused by Leonard. This is ultimately an X. What happened? What is happening?

but I actually think that Rachel does like liver and onions. I just think this was a little bit of an off day for. that first piece, but I think she actually does like it. Okay, let's just go down the line. I mean, well. Cause just mostly I wanna know. Jordan, do you have anything else to say? I just can't believe it. I don't have a sensitive palate, and I thought, pate on a banh mi yum, liver's fine. This really tastes like something that I cannot describe. It's almost like a scented candle. meets poison.

I don't know. I still taste it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Matt Lieb. It's bad. I hate this so much. It is when I burp. I'm burping blood metal, and it's still in my throat and I don't like it. And I had a little piece. You did. And a lot of onions. Blood metal. That's your favorite music genre though right? I love blood metal usually to listen to, to put in my mouth. Hate it, dawg. This is. This is one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth.

Now, Leonard, I'm really hoping that you're gonna come through for me. You liked this. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something right now. That was awful. There is a metallic paste in the back of my throat right now. And, you know, I really. It smells so good. Yeah, it does. It looks good, too. The onion's great. I almost went for one of them nuggets. And I'm glad I didn't, because. it was pretty bad. I'm not gonna lie. I don't like liver.

I'm sorry. But, Rachel, that means you do like it. Rachel. Rachel. You're saying you liked it, but you still gagged. Okay, so here's the thing... The little ones are doing something different. The little ones are bringing a taste to the table that is. strange and not what I'm used to. Now, the other piece, I didn't mind. I liked that. But the small ones. That hurt. All right, so, Rhett, you got the queen sweep. on this one? Yeah. There's some very unfortunate news here. Cause all the haters were identified.

I'm sorry. But we do need to see you just try another. Just try another. little bite... of the liver. All together. You know what if you do it together. Yeah, do it together. Can we CG this? We don't have that kind of budget. If I throw up on this stage. It's gonna be a huge inconvenience for filming. Okay, I'm just going. Just go, go, go, go, go. Don't think. All right. This is so great. Sorry, y'all.

Yeah, man. We got a wild idea that we want to spring on you. Yes. We get a lot of wedding invitations to our P.O. box. Okay. And we thought. maybe we should do something about that. You know what?..

At least this last round should get rid of any of that liver taste. It is Jepson's Malort, known in Chicago bars as the shot you buy for your worst enemy. And some of our crew actually claim to not mind the stuff... Let's welcome. Emily.

out here. Hey, Emily. I'm so glad I wasn't here for the last round. Are you familiar with Malort? I am M'lord. What could be so bad about it? It can't be that bad. I am. familiar with all liquor. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, that's not saying much. All right, let us try it and see if. I mean. Did you sip it? This is a byproduct.

This is not intentional. Before even the alcohol. taste hits you. I thought it was gonna be like licorice or something. It's the most bitter. drink I've ever had. And then the alcohol hits and it feels kind of normal, and then. that goes away, and then it's just. complete bitterness. It's like Bitrex water. It's like if you were to take that super.

bitter agent and just put it in water. It will make... your face shrivel up. That's tough to love. You're really determined to. school us. Tough to love. All right, Rachel, let's see how you feel. Rachel, you've moved to the number one position. You've liked everything so far. Yeah, well. And Malort is no different. This is my gal. I love her to death. I love Chicago. I love the Bean. I love the Green Mill, so. Well, she's like a tour guide. She got tourist destinations all on her shirt.

I love all the notes. What are some of the notes? What are some of those notes? Spicy. Tree like. Tree like. Licorice. And it dances on the tongue and it dances down the throat. Damn. straight. Face. She's stone cold as. She doesn't like that. She is ice. I love it. I could go back in, but I drove here. Oh. Ah. Sneaky. That's good. Be responsible.

All right, Leonard. My Lord. My last two exes are from the Midwest, and. they never made me drink this. I made them drink it. Oh, wow. I turned the tables. He's got exes all over the place. He even went, ah. That's how you know he liked it. Yeah, he went, ah. There's no denying a good. There's no denying. There's something about. having a different experience in your mouth that you've never had before.

I love a good mouth experience. Yeah. This is one of those. That's what I call my ex boyfriends from the Midwest. Here's the old mouth experience... Here it goes. You ever like, I wanted it to taste like I was inside a hospital? Yeah, right. Yeah, like you were licking the hospital. Jordan. So I've been drinking Malort for a while. My good buddy, the comic, John Hodgman, when we did shows together, we would always have a shot of Malort to start the show.

It was kind of a tradition. I obviously hated it at first, but I grew to love it and associate it with good times. Name drop much, huh? Why hasn't he come on show? I mean, I can't wait till Sydney Sweeney hears about this. I write to her every day. All right, you're right. Yeah. I would even do a double. if I can. crash on the couch.

Right. Well, let's see what you got with this first one. Yeah. Down the hatch. Good God. Look at Jordan Morris. It's great. I do like it. It burns a little going down. Yeah, that's. But it's a fun burn. Yeah, it's fun. Real fun. Yeah, the burn is not the problem. It's the taste. I disagree. I think it's nice. It sticks around. like a beloved family member. Emily, I had my first Malort with you,

I think. And my sister. runs a. She's a DJ for karaoke at this bar in Nashville where it is the specialty to. Everybody drinks Malort. It's like something you have to do. So I've had to do it multiple times, and I like it. We drank it in Chicago on tour. Yeah. And then we got in a fight. with a guy in a Cubs jersey about whether or not you should. put ketchup on a hot dog. Yes, that's true. I was wearing a Cardinals. hat at the time, so that might be part of it. All right. Oh, yeah. She's gonna do it,

and she's just not. I mean, look at the two of them. It's kind of pickly, this one. It's a little pickly. I mean, the fact that Emily just took it down the hatch doesn't. Mean much. Right, Emily? You know, Emily and her hatch. That old hatch. I'm sorry, Emily. You're the one who said you like all types of liquor. Just shove it in there. All right.

Yeah. Two. I mean, just two are completely. obliterated there. Good God. I mean, I'm still tasting how horrible it was. It really is. It is not great. So bad. Emily is the wild card here. You think? Because I thought I would sense... So. who are you sure. doesn't like it? Rachel and Leonard. Right? You're sure Leonard doesn't like it? Because he basically said so, right? He said it tasted like a hospital.

I don't think Rachel liked it either. I know Jordan liked it. And I'm waiting on my Emily. I think Emily. was lying. I don't think Emily liked it. Well, we completely agree. Okay, well, that's not good for me. Only Jordan Morris really liked it. Interesting. Okay, let's go down the line. Rachel, what do you think? Well, well, well. You would. be correct. I don't like that and I never want to have it again.

Stick to oysters and liver, I guess. Leonard? I made the mistake of talking about the hospital. Yeah. This is awful. Yeah. Yeah, real bad. Okay. Jordan, is your story true? Yeah, I can't get enough of the stuff. I love it. Okay, okay. The wild card. Emily. I love it. Especially... somebody else is paying for it. It's great, man. You could have done it if you hadn't gone the other way. Yeah, I'll give this unfortunate news for Rachel and Leonardo. Gonna have to take another. Another sip. Yeah, you left some in there.

Shoot it. Don't, don't. Don't shoot it if you don't want to. I want to haze the new people. Totally... Haze us with alcohol. That's rocks. It's like I'm in college. Did you say that's Rick Ross? It says, like, I'm in college. Oh, I'm an improv nerd. So I'm a. Yes and. Oh, God... Oh, man. I love this episode.

Can we get a suggestion for a weird job? So good. This one. Okay. And, Rhett, you did pull off the win, which means in Good Mythical More, you're going to. get to state some controversial opinions and Link as the loser. You have to wholeheartedly. agree with those. Okay, thank you all for being such good sports, as well as the other people in the panel who have exited the building so as not. to be asked to do anything else today.
