Big Men vs Tiny Meals

- We took real meals and shrunk them down. - Let's talk about that. (gentle music). Good mythical morning. - A while back, we came across a TikTok from The Brickery. that got us thinking. Let's watch it. - [Speaker] What if there was a cafe. where everything costs just a dollar? Like actually one dollar. - I'm listening. - [Speaker] Not $1.50, not Dollar Tree selling items for $2. or even $5 these days,

not $4.75 pretending to be affordable. $1. So today at the cafe that I work at, I'm testing a $1 cafe menu. and what that would look like. And who knows, if enough people are interested, maybe I can convince my boss to let this be a real thing. - Whatever that is. - Well, these people are interested. These boys right here. - Yes, we are. - We're interested. - A cute little spoon size meal. Some meals you just want that one perfect bite. and that's enough. - Well, I kind of feel like this might be.

a little bit more of your thing. I mean, I don't remember the last time. I ate a spoonful of anything, but you know, maybe this is an opportunity. for me to exercise a little restraint. and realize that the third bite tastes. just like the first bite. You know what I mean? - Exactly. So don't have the second bite. - You don't need it. - Just move on to a different bite. - A whole new meal. - This begs the question, what other meals could be taken. and shrunken down to a spoon size. and are they any better in tiny form?

(upbeat music). As you can see, we can't. - [Brittany] All right. We are about to fly in a tiny food. for you to taste while blindfolded. and we can actually see it behind you now. - Is it cute? - [Brittany] It's so cute. - [Link] Small. - [Brittany] If you're the first. to verbally correctly guess it, you will get a point. And then we'll let you take a closer look. to admire Colby's mini work. So your first bite flies in... Now. - Before we got it, before we got it...

- Before we got it. - Is it just taste it and then when you think. you have an answer, you just say it? - [Brittany] Yeah, we were just gonna. have you verbally guess, but do you want a three, two, one? - Oh, I think we might need a three, two, one. - Three, two, one for the initial one. - We need some thinking time. - [Brittany] Great. I will give you a three, two, one. - All right, ready. Oh. - Hmm. (Rhett laughs).

Mm. That was delightfully proportioned. Mm. Okay. - Ha oh! I like that. But I want another bite. That's my problem. - That's the only one you get. And I think I know what it is. - I think I know what it is. - Okay. - All right. Three, two, one. - Chicken parm. - Chicken parm. Yes? - [Brittany] You're correct. Take off your blindfolds and turn around.

- Chicken parm boys! - [Link] Look at that little chicken parm. - Oh, can I touch? - This is... Look at that. We've made ourselves the artist, Rhett and Link, tiny little bite, mixed biological media. - I mean, it had everything. that you want in a chicken parm bite. Chicken, parm... - Bite. - The noodles and the spaghetti sauce. - I'm really thinking that this is the future of parties.

- Because the thing that you're trying to do. when you eat chicken parm, if you're me, is usually you have the chicken parm over here. and then they give you the spaghetti. And I don't like to go through the trouble. of trying to make a bite perfect every time. So I'll just like eat some chicken parm, we gotta get some of those noodles. - Oh. - I love the fact that this is... Again, can I have as many as I want? - See, that's my main thing about eating. - Is it just a dollar a piece? - Yeah. - If they're doing it? I'll pay $20 for 20.

- 20 of those? - Yeah. - See, when you're just sitting there thinking, I'm gonna eat this, then I'm gonna eat this, I'm sitting there thinking, I'm gonna make the bite. I'm making bites. That's my practice of eating, making bites. - Making bites? - Yeah, like this. - I'm doing bites. - Yeah. And then you're like, you're making it in your stomach. - There's mite... There's mite bakers. There's bite makers and there's biters. I'm a biter. - Yeah, and I'm definitely a bite maker. So I love the fact that somebody's doing this for me,

then it's over and I could be mingling around at a party. - Oh, do we give this a score? - 100%. - 100%. (crew laughing). This portion of today's episode is sponsored by Zocdoc, helping find the right doctors for you. - We've been through a few medical firsts together. Vasectomies, colonoscopies. We have documented it. - Yes. In fact, I once met a guy at a party. and his only point of reference for me. was that I was in the video that his doctor sent him.

ahead of time to get ready for his vasectomy. - He thought you were a vasectomy actor? - Yeah, and I like that about, you know... He didn't know anything about my actual career. - Okay. - Now, while that situation is unique to us, something we can all benefit from is using Zocdoc. to find a doctor in over 200 specialties nearby. that takes your insurance and has availability. - No, there will not be a video of us. if you're looking to find a doctor on their site, but there are a ton of reviews from real patients. so you can make sure you're picking the right one for you.

(upbeat music).

- I would like to retract my statement earlier. I said there are bite makers and biters. and I would like to substitute that. with there are bite makers and bite takers. - Ah, yes, that's better. (crew applauding). I'm a bite maker. - I'm a bite taker. - All right. - Next bite. - Let's take another bite. - [Brittany] All right, your next bite's on its way in. and the more specific you can get. with your guess here, the better. - Hmm.

(Rhett laughs). - [Rhett] What is this little pillow? - Oh! That thing just bursted with amazingness. - It's so good, but I don't know what it is. (crew laughing). - Mm. - Man! - Okay. - I mean, that's so good. - I think there's some cilantro in there,

which tastes a little weird, but whoa, it's still... Or maybe it's lime. What is happening? That was a wonderful little pouch. - Okay, I have a guess, but it's wrong. - All right. Ready? - [Brittany] Three, two, one. - Bean burrito. - Tikka masala. - [Brittany] Link, you got it. - Yes! - Yeah yeah. - [Brittany] This is specifically a carne asada burrito. - [Rhett] Oh, I was like, where is it? - [Link] Look at that.

Yes! - [Brittany] And there was cilantro in it. - Wow, and you know the funny thing is. is I could not detect the form factor when I ate it. I was like, "What is that? Why is it so... Is it a dumpling?". - Did you just start chewing immediately? - Oh yeah, I'm a bite taker. - Yeah, you gotta toss it around in there first. - Did you donkey lick it at first? - I did. I rolled it around in there. - Now... - That is beautiful. - This is something else because you can pick it up.

May I? - Yeah. - Look at that. - You're trying to eat it, aren't you? - I want to. - You can't. Only one bite. - The little folded burrito. So is this a tortilla? - [Link] Little donkey. - Is it a mini tortilla or is it a big tortilla. cut into a small tortilla? - [Colby] I cut a big tortilla into a small one. because the texture of the tortilla, it's like a fresh tortilla. So I bought the fresh ones. - Yeah, and they're good. - [Brittany] I mean, Rhett, maybe you could.

take a bite off it and just let us see the inside. because I feel like people wanna see that. - Yes, let's... Yes, and that way you get half a bite. It's like a little sausage. Look at that. - [Speaker] Use our extra closeup camera. - [Speaker] Okay, it'll take a minute. Yeah, really hold it. - I'm holding it still. - I mean, why doesn't Tostinos... Why doesn't Tostinos make these?

- [Rhett] Am I in it? - [Speaker] Yep, you got it. - It's like a pizza roll, but a burrito. - A burrito roll. - A burrito... - A mini burrito. A burrito is a small burrow. So what is it? Is it burritoito? - Mucho burrito? - I think it's burritoito. - Burrito... Burritoito? - Burritoito. - Burritoito. - Burritoito. - All right. That's great. 100%. - 100%. (crew laughing). (upbeat music).

- [Brittany] Here comes your next bite and it's so cute. And the more specific for this one, the better. - This is the cutest little thing we've done in so long. - [Brittany] Probably in ever. - I'm trying to do your technique and it's kind of gross. (crew laughing). - Yeah. This is weird. It's cold, prickly, pungent. Why is it so pungent?

I'm almost about to get what it is, but... - I can tell you the ingredients, but... - I'm getting a weird-. - I can't tell you. - Weird pasta, but also something... What is this? This is so strange. - I've got to guess, but I'm gonna just say things. and maybe it'll become a dish as I say it. - Okay. - [Brittany] Okay. Three, two, one. - Shrimp ceviche over rice. - Cold shrimp pasta.

- [Brittany] Ah, well, you're not quite there. Rhett is closest. Do you guys wanna try again? - With shrimp? - It's something that tastes like shrimp ceviche, like lime shrimp pasta... Lime shrimp rice. - [Brittany] Yeah, so I have identified that there's fish. and you've identified that there's rice. Do you think there's a dish that puts those together? - Fish and rice.

- [Brittany] And perhaps a cultural name. for that would be-. - Sushi. - Sushi. - [Brittany] All right. - But there was no seaweed. - [Brittany] It is specifically nigiri, so there is no seaweed. - Okay, that's what threw me. - [Brittany] And Rhett, Link took his blindfold off, so you can take a look. - Okay. This doesn't feel like much of a revelation. - The reason I didn't say sushi is because I thought, well, sushi already is kind of spoon sized, but I see -. - Oh, but look at it.

- I see what you've done. You've gone even smaller. - [Link] It's like a little dollhouse sushi. Well, this would be a decent size dollhouse. to eat a sushi this big. - [Brittany] Now, do you guys agree. that Link deserves the point here? Because he did get to sushi faster. - He said sushi first. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And I didn't hate it. You know? - You didn't hate it? - I ate three different types of raw fishes at once. (crew applauding). - Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to clap. because he doesn't hate something. - Hold on, they already are clapping.

And now it's getting louder. - The standard is way too low. - Yep. Thank you guys. Thank you. - Hold on. So you should set the bar really, really low. so it's really easy to walk over. Okay, all right. - 100%. (upbeat music). - [Brittany] Okay, here comes your next mini bite. and I'm gonna help you out. and say that we are looking for. a restaurant specific name here. Restaurant's dish.

- Hmm. Very crunchy. - [Rhett] Hmm. - Very saucy. The sauce is not immediately identifiable. - Didn't get any meat, I don't think. - Hold on, I know what this is. - [Rhett] Well, I like it, but I have no idea what it is. - [Link] I've had this before. - I don't know if my brain can process a meal in a bite. I'm learning this about myself. - [Brittany] Use your tiny brain. - Is the scale... The scale is completely shrunken, right?

- [Brittany] Yeah, otherwise it wouldn't be impressive. - I feel like you nailed it. I just can't remember what it is. - Because it's crunchy, but a little bit. juicy underneath the crunchy. And... - And I don't even know what type of meat that is. You don't think it's meat at all. - I didn't taste meat, I don't think. - It's a fast food thing. - Is it? - It tastes fast... No. Is it seafoody?

What is happening? - It's kind of oniony. - What is this? - It's oniony. Oniony things. Oh, you know what? - But it's also like ketchup. (crew laughing). - [Brittany] Think you guys got a guess? - Oniony is my hint now. - Go for it. - [Brittany] Okay, I'm getting the signal. Three, two, one. - Outback blooming onion. - Onion rings. - [Brittany] Nailed it, Rhett. Take off those blindfolds. and look at that mini work. - Oh! Beautiful.

- [Brittany] It wasn't as impressive as liking sushi, but we're pretty proud of you. - So these, this onion that's bloomed. and fried is just like, how... What part of the onion is that? Like one little petal? - A little part of it. - [Colby] Oh, that's a pearl onion. So I just did the same thing. Exact same thing. - You Outbacked a pearl onion? - [Colby] Mm-hm. - Man. - [Colby] I was getting so mad. I was like, I wish I was three inches tall right now. because it was so hard. - I mean, pearl onions are one of my favorite onions.

because they're the only onion you can eat whole. - So you took, you, by hand, just like did a choppage? - [Colby] Yeah, just like a cross section cut. and then you like put it in ice water to like open it up. and then you dredge it and fry it. - Okay. - Outback. We need to take you out back. - The first and most obvious application of everything. that we've had tonight is a party. - A spoon party. - Well, no, no, not a spoon party.

Just think about the number of places that you go to a party. and they've got really good hors d'oeuvres. that they come out in one bite. And sometimes they're a little bit too big. and sometimes they're just right. Here's a... Every single one of these could be. like an incredible addition. to like a fancy party where you're-. - They come and they sit it down in front of you, like if you have a seat at the table. - No. Person coming out of a kitchen. with a tray full of hor d'oeuvres, would you like a chicken parm bite? Would you like the blooming onion bite? - Where do I put my napkin?

Where do I put my drink? - You don't. You just take it, one bite, you're done. - Not even that, Rhett. You're almost there. - Keep going. - Would you like this? Yeah. - Just eat it out of my hand. - Open your mouth. They feed it to you. - You're all blindfolded. - And then they take the spoon-. - And they put it in a pocket. - Put it in a pocket. - They have a trash pocket. - And then the only thing you have in your hand. is a drink in one and a date under the other. - You never touch the food. You are... Now, we might be saying, we might be a little biased as spoonfed people.

- We're very spoonfed. - We're very spoonfed. - We're very comfortable with that, but more people at parties need to be comfortable. with getting fed in front of people. - And this is gonna make it happen. - 100%. - Get our newest Mythical Society collectible. the good mythical morning snow globe now. - Become an all access quarterly or annual member to unlock this collectable. an exclusive discount on tickets to a very Mythical Holiday Special and more. - Mythicalsociety.com. (upbeat music).

Well look, here comes another server at the spoon party. - I'm ready. - Oh yeah, I don't even wanna know what it is. Just put it in my mouth. Okay. Mm. Another pillow. I'm trying to figure out, is that bready? Is it cheesy? What is that? - It's good. - It's very thick. - I believe I know what it is.

- Hmm. - And I'm very happy, but I could be wrong, but I think I might be right. - Ah. - [Brittany] Link, you ready? - I think so, yes. - [Brittany] Three, two, one. - Shepherd's pie. - Chicken pot pie. - [Brittany] Rhett, you got it. - Ah! - You knew it was a pie. - And turn around and look. - I knew it was a pie. - Look at that pie! Look at this pie! - It's like a cute little pie. - Hey, listen, if you're uncomfortable being spoonfed, all it takes is having one of these put in your mouth.

- [Brittany] Well, do you notice what's in it, Link? - [Link] Is this metal? - [Brittany] Those are tiny forks. if you wanna do something sick. - If you would like to desecrate it. - Oh, you want me to toss the pie? (crew laughing). - See if you can make a clip for social media. that's as compelling as the first time you did this. I'll look really upset as you do it. - This one wasn't as hot, so I'm not as motivated. - Actually, put it in front of me, like you're doing it in front of me. - Let me prepare.

It's not really the same. - What? What are you doing? - I'm making you pot pie. - I don't want this pot pie. Why did you desecrate my pot pie? - There you go. For no reason. TikTok. - We did it. We did it.

(upbeat music). - I would like to retract the statement. that I didn't make earlier, when I didn't say 100%. - Okay. - By saying it now. 100%. - Great. - Yep. - [Brittany] Okay, well, your final bite is coming in now. You guys are tied, so-. - Oh, we are? - [Brittany] We're looking for a complete dish name here, by the way. - Salty, crunchy, - Crispy.

Hmm. Whoa. - What is that? - Whoa! - It really packs the flavor. - Man, that's good. - Hmm. This tastes just like something. that I don't think you would have made, but that Christie makes. I'm not gonna win with that. - I wish I knew what you were talking about. It's really good. - Ooh, that's so good.

- I'm just gonna start saying things out loud. It has some kind of cracker. - Whoa, whoa, whoa. We'll do a 3.1. - No, no, no. No, no, no, no. No, this can help you. I'm just saying-. - That is what you say, isn't it Brittany? 3.1. - 3.1, yeah. - What I'm saying is anything I say right now. is to help both of us. One of us gets it. - All right. - It's very peppery. - It's almost ranchy. - And I believe that the meat is chicken, but I'm not sure about that last part.

It might be beef. It's one of those things. It's kind of hard to tell in the moment. - All right, I know. I have my guess. I'm just gonna go for it. - [Brittany] You guys ready? - Not really, but I'll say it anyway. - [Brittany] 3.1. - Green bean casserole. - Chicken poppy seed casserole. - [Brittany] Well, neither of you are close. Would you like to try again? - So the thing that you were talking about. is what I thought it tasted like too. - That white chicken with the breadcrumbs. - The first year of our marriage Jessie would make that.

and we would put the whole casserole dish on the table, which you should never do, and we ate the whole thing and gained 25 pounds. - Yep, you got big, boy. - In that one year. - Bigger. - That's what it tasted like. because it had the crispy on top. - It's definitely chicken with like breadcrumbs. - [Brittany] Do you both agree that it's chicken? - No. Yes. Should we? - We shouldn't though. - [Brittany] What if I would tell you it's not chicken? - Okay. - Oh. Then I'm gonna say it's beef. - It's beef. - It's chicken beef. - It's stringy...

Oh! - What? - Beef stroganoff. - Nope. - [Brittany] No, but you're closer in that that's beef. - Pepper, pepper... - Peppered steak. - [Brittany] You know what? Let's say that's close enough. This is steak frites. Take off your blindfolds. - So we've got like french fries on it. - What? - Look at that. - What in the world? - A sliced steak. Look at how delectably small it is. - Little teeny little french fries. - [Link] The french fries are just little haystacks. - [Rhett] And then there's some gravy under there?

- [Colby] It's like a peppercorn sauce. That's probably why you thought it was-. - Peppercorn sauce. - [Brittany] And Rhett-. - And that's all I want. That's all I want, 100% of the time. Leave it at that. - [Brittany] We have the world's tiniest trophy for you. - Wow. It feels like a little bit of an empty victory, you know. I didn't really say the right thing, but I'll take it. 100% I'll take it every time. - The spoon parties have to happen. - Oh, you filled it with nothing.

- Feed me with spoons and everybody spoons at the end. - Oh. - Thanks for being your mythical best. - You know what time it is. - I'm Rob Segel. And I'm Liz Segel. - [Both] And we just got married. And now it' time to spin the wheel of mythicality. - Congratulations, Segels. - Segels. - Segels unite. - Seagulls? I wonder if any of them have any. birds tattooed on their body. - Well, it started as people who were really into seagulls, and then it became Segel.

- Or they were part seagull. - I have an un-fun fact, so get your hopes down. - Okay. - If you had more money. than the richest person in the world, you would be the richest person in the world.
