Eco Friendly vs. Name Brand Taste Test

- Is toilet paper that's good for the environment. just as good for your butt? - Let's talk about that. (gentle upbeat music). Good Mythical Morning. - We are fans of eco-friendly products. - Well, I've never heard anybody say the opposite. We are fans of eco unfriendly products. - Well, and I hope we don't inadvertently say that today. because we're gonna be blindly comparing. eco-friendly products with their normal counterparts.

- Yeah because there's a difference between being a fan. of the idea of eco-friendly products. and actually liking the products themsmelves. - Themsmelves. - You know what I mean? - So let's see if the two align. It's time for, Some of these Products. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint. The Others Stick Around for Centuries Like Eastwood, Clint. - [Stevie] Before you are for ordinary cups of coffee, except for the one that isn't. Can you taste the difference.

and identify the eco-friendly coffee? - And stakes are high because whoever does. what Stevie says the most and wins--. - Wins. The winner. (crew laughing) - Yeah. Then they get to be turned into a recycled superhero. while the other guy just watches and is. jealous. - So you think that the winner. is the one who does what Stevie says most? - [Stevie] I think so. (Rhett laughing). - Well, in different rounds, I think we might not be identifying eco-friendly. every single round, so I didn't wanna say that.

- [Rhett] Right, right. Yeah. - Black coffee. Not my--. - It just makes it all taste bad to me. - This is not bad, though, it's kind of smooth. - Would your expectation be that eco would be worse? - I think eco-friendly coffee. is how it's ethically produced. I don't think it's as much about like--. - Well, this feels unethical. Just the taste feels unethical.

- I mean, it's bitter. - Black of coffee just hits me in a couple of ways. - Does it make you poop? - Yeah, man. - [Link] Immediately. - And I think it's a psychosomatic thing at this point. - Like it hits your lips and then your cheeks part? - Yeah, my body's like, okay, all right, okay. It's that time. So I might need to take a little time out. (crew laughing). - This one's smooth and tasty. This one's bitter and then this one is kind of bland. - This one feels very flavorless.

- Because I think it's all about how it's produced. - Processed. - Well, I think it's like how the people are paid. and how, you know. - Can you taste the fair wages? Can you taste them? - This one's similar to the first one. - I think I like that one the best. - But I do like to think of eco-friendly coffee. as being just as tasty, if not more tasty, so I'm ready to put my hand in the place.

You know what I mean? - Yeah. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Oh! - Why did we agree? I just think the bitterest is-. - [Rhett] Yeah. - Is the strongest, is the best, is the eco-est. - I went with it was the strongest, but I also liked the least. because I think I'm going off of this like, growing up in Harnett County, where I probably have just this inherent aversion. to eco-friendly things. - [Stevie] Which one did you like the most? - This one. - [Stevie] Okay, the eco-friendly coffee.

is Cafe Mam's medium roast in mug number one. - Oh, so you liked the one that was the best--. - That's the one that I liked the most. - Well, why didn't you go. with the one that you like the most? - Because I went with the one that was the strongest. - [Stevie] Okay, so this is why it's eco-friendly, it's shade grown, which means it was grown in conditions. that sacrificed higher yields in favor of fostering. a bird-friendly habitat that counters the negative effects. deforestation has on the migratory bird population.

- Bird-friendly coffee. - Yeah. 'Cause--. - [Stevie] And--. - So you plant amongst the trees that the birds already like. versus just a coffee field? - [Stevie] Yeah. That's also-- That's what says underneath my reveal. The one that you hated the most makes a lot of sense. That's Folgers. - This? - [Stevie] Yep. And then Duncan's a medium roast. and then Drink Coffee Do Stuffs, Hell yeah medium roast. - Hell yeah. - It's very hell yeah.

- This is the most expensive $16. - Well, I've got great taste. - $13 for the eco-friendly, all right. For the birds baby. - Yeah. - [Stevie] Here we have four roll of toilet paper. - Yeah we do. - [Stevie] But this time three of the four. are eco-friendly leaving one that is not. - Oh, one's regular. - You're saying there's a plethora. of eco-friendly toilet paper? - At least three. - [Stevie] That's exactly what I'm saying. And to help you decipher, which is which--. - I already know. - [Stevie] We're going to be loaning you. a couple of poopy booties.

- Well, bring in the poopy booty. Oh, shoot. That looks like-- - Oh Lucas. - Hold it higher, man. Hold it hot, okay. (crew laughing). Boobalooba poopy boobies. - So sometimes, hey, sometimes this happens. Sometimes you gotta clean out between your boobies. - Okay. You know what? Let's lower it. - Okay. - [Chase] It depends on how messy of an eater you are. - I guess just turn-- Like maybe turn around? - No, I don't--. - You don't want us to wipe your--. - I'd rather not do that. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Do you have to? No, but I thought it was a fun idea.

- I'll go with a nice gentle wipe. Wow, I got a lot. - I'm just gonna go on my face. - Okay that's good. I'm drawing some conclusions. Hold on. Hold on. Where-- Where is it? That one? - Oh yeah, it's this one. Now I'm gonna let you keep wiping the booties because--. - Well, I--. - That'll be your test and my-- That's my test. You're doing my test. - I'm doing both. - The face test is my test. - Face test is more--.

It gives you better results. because you're doing your own face. - Now this one, it has bumps on it. Like it's bumpy. It's got a nice perforation. (crew laughing). Okay. - New butt. - All right, that's not as clean. as I would've gotten it, but that's--. - New butt, new TP. - Now this one-- This one is, it looks like--. - This has a smooth side and a hard side.

- It's dot matrixy like, there's dots all on it. I mean... I don't think, yeah, you don't wanna rub on this side. You wanna use--. - You seem too into it. - You definitely want to use the smooth side. - I like it. - It's super rough on one side. But you know, sometimes depending. on what you got back there, sometimes you want it a little bit rough. - You want it rough. - Yeah. You know, if you really wanna get rid of something--. - Just to like-- 'Cause it--. - Like if you eat too much taffy. - The bumps pick up the taffy.

- Taffy will go right through you sometimes. And you know me and my taffy. - Until the end. - You know me and my taffy habit. I see that machine at the state fair, just running. I'm like I gotta get some of that. - Does it come out the same way it goes in? - Yeah, yeah. In fact I have to get both hands going like this. just to pull it out. - I'm realizing, yeah, you might want a rough side and a smooth side. Now this one right here. I'm just gonna show you, this one has--. It has a pattern. - A pattern.

- Or a patteryn as what my kids would say at a young age. It's got like a nice swirl. It's like a butterfly. and a dotted line. - Not supposed to do that. - I shouldn't have done that. You're gonna get an infection. (crew laughing). - This is nice. - I'm gonna do this in a way that doesn't give you a UTI. - Please. - It's still single ply. All of these are single ply. - I'm still getting an infection. - And then we're-- Let's move to the third one. Oh my gosh, this is a cheap--. This is a cheap freaking--.

And it is the thinnest paper. - Hold on, you sure you actually got it? - Oh my gosh, this is so thin. This is not--. - I'll be afraid I'm gonna get myself dirty with this one. - Get some on the--. - [Link] That is danger man. - Oh, my fingers just got wet immediately. My fingers immediately got wet. - Yeah, yeah. It happens. - Oh man. Okay, so--. - When you got that-- When you got that juicy taffy. - Okay. - I'm ready to vote. I think this is easy. - It feels like it might be easy. - This is so easy.

- [Stevie] Okay, reminder. You're putting your hand over the non-ecofriendly one. - Non-ecofriendly. (Link horn sounding). - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - It's gotta be this one. This one just feels norm. - [Stevie] The non-ecofriendly toilet paper. is roll number four. - No! What? - [Stevie] The Perk toilet paper. - What? What is it? - [Stevie] It's called the Perk toilet paper. - It's horrible. I got fake dookey on my hand. - [Stevie] Okay, this is why the eco-friendly. ones are eco-friendly. - Okay.

- [Stevie] Every day, 27,000 trees are torn down. to put toilet paper on store shelves, which is exactly why three of these rolls were made. from either recycled materials or fast growing bamboo. And the other ones are BetterWay Bamboo toilet paper, Who Gives a Crap, 100% recycled toilet paper. and the Cloud Paper, bamboo toilet paper. - Oh, so both of these are Who Gives a Crap, This is Cloud. - [Stevie] Better way, Who Gives a Crap.

and Cloud are the three. - Well, I'm gonna wipe my butt with all of these, but except I'd like for you to have this one. - I'm gonna wipe my butt less. and use a bidet 'cause it--. 'Cause trees don't have to get cut down for it. - Oh yeah. I'm gonna wipe my butt with a bird. - [Stevie] And finally we have chocolate. Of the four bars in front of you, three are regular, but can you single out the one that eco-friendly? - Only one eco-friendly. Now this one's got some big, big squares.

- And a nice little pattryn. - Wouldn't you-- I mean, what if you--. When you were done pooping, a little bird flew in and just like, you know how you've seen a bird and a bird bath? - Yeah. - Just doing that in your butt cheeks. I'd like to have my butt wiped by a live bird. - I think a peacock could do it. without really noticing. As long as you give it a bath, it probably will give it a sense of duty and purpose. Sense of duty. (crew laughing).

This peacock has a sense of duty. - This is a-- This is a good little milk chocolate. - I'm not a much of a milk chocolate man. - Now this one has smaller perforations. - There's almost a minty taste of that first one, is there not? - Yep, you're right. There's a little bit of mint. Little hint of mint. I wonder what makes the chocolate eco? Shade grown type situation?

- I think they avoid the birds as well. Ooh, there's no bird in any of these, probably. - This one tastes better man. - Much fuller flavor, but also it doesn't have the mint. The mint's doing a lot of work in this one. - Yeah. It's-- This one is very light. It's light, man. It's very milky of the milk chocolate. - This is for sharing. - Hmm. - That really sticks to your mouth. (timer ringing).

- Oh, somebody's timer. Somebody's timer. - It's time to keep eating chocolate. - Is that your alarm to wake up, Vi? - [Vianai] To take some stuff. - Good morning Vi. (crew laughing). She said it's to take some stuff. - Right? (crew laughing). - Like steal some stuff? Well, there's my alarm to steal stuff from Mythical. This is-- Not great. - I kinda like it, but it taste a little bit like a bunny rabbit.

Like a chocolate bunny. - Now this looks very fancy. Fancy. Take that. It's got--. - It has a symbol on it. - A logo on it. - Oh, it's soft too. - Mm, what is that? - Almost a peanut buttery taste to it. - There's like an oil, it's oily. It's oil. Mm that's strange. - They put straight oil in that, that's not eco-friendly. It's patrolling in base-- - Motor oil. - Yeah.

- All right, I'm ready to vote. - [Stevie] Here we go, three, two, one. - I gotta go with the oily one I don't know why, but I do. - I'm going with the one I thought was the best. - A little birdie told me. - [Stevie] The eco-friendly chocolate bar is bar number two. It's the Noway Foods Milkless chocolate bar. This is why it's eco-friendly. Second only to beef cattle, dairy cattle produce. more greenhouse gases than all other. forms of food production.

The eco-friendly bar is vegan through and through. The others are--. - It taste really good. - Laura Secord, the Canadian milk chocolate bar, Shmerling sugar free milk chocolate bar. and Red European sugar free milk chocolate bar. - Oh, sugar free chocolate? - Oh really? - They just replaced it with oil. Well, all I know is it only took one point to win this game. And I got that one point. So I get to be a recycled hero at Good Mythical More. But right now there's something we would like to address.

- Oh yeah. This is important. And kind of exciting, a bit risky. In yesterday's episode of Gut Check, you may have noticed something was missing from the set. - Or maybe you didn't. But do you notice anything missing now. in this general spot right here? - Yeah, I noticed. For almost a decade, our black bass guitar, it hung right there. Right there.

But the thing is, it was never technically ours. - Right. - It was our college roommate, Greggs. And after college, I think he went to Argentina. to live for like a year. - Right. - So he asked us to keep his bass guitar for him. - They don't allow base guitars in Argentina. - He didn't wanna take it. - He didn't wanna take it. because he was literally moving there. And so 22 years later, 22 years later, he has asked for it back. - He's been back from Argentina--. - For 21 years. - For a long time.

Now Gregg is our closest friend from college. He was in our first videos. that we made way back before YouTube existed. So if he wants his bass back, we're gonna give him his bass back. - I mean, and to be fair, he is a mechanical engineer, supervising the removal of nuclear waste. from his site in Washington State. He literally lives in a radiation suit. So he clearly needs a bass more than we do. - Yeah. So it's gone. But we did capture the sendoff.

Musicman, Sub five bass guitar. there's something we need to tell you. - You've been in our possession for over 20 years. And you've been on this set for almost a decade. - But now it's time to return you to your master. - Yo. - Gregg, morning. - What's up Gregg. - Good morning. - Do you remember this thing? - How's she feeling? - She feels exactly the same way she felt for 20 years. And listen, these strings have not been changed.

since you handed this over to us. - So why do you want this thing back? - Well, you know, being 43 years old now, I'm thinking that there's an opportunity to be a bassman. - How often have you thought about this bass? - I think about it, you know, maybe monthly. (Rhett laughing). - Monthly for 20 years? - You've been thinking about this thing monthly. - I didn't-- I didn't know how to ask. - So what puts you over the edge? - Well, my, yeah, my daughter she's learning drums. Drums need a good bassline. - Yeah. You're gonna--.

It's gonna be like a heart sealed rhythm section. - Yeah, well I-- - I think that's--. - Sadie learning the guitar also. - You can be a three piece band. - It's gonna be a family band. Okay. - Yeah, yeah. - Well, so we're glad to send this thing back to you. - I feel like it'll be doing more good. as a part of a family band than it is. just as part of like wall decor. - But we definitely want like there to be an album. I want a Spotify link. - SoundCloud. - SoundCloud, yeah. You'll probably just do SoundCloud. - Bandcamp. Is that one? - Yeah. - Yeah, you could do Bandcamp. Bandcamp or SoundCloud. - We're sending you to bass, man. You just send us the SoundCloud links.

to the family band and we'll call it even. - Okay. - All right, we'll talk to you later, man. - All right, see ya. - Thanks Gregg. - He's never gonna play that guitar. - Well, I mean, I'm glad that it's back with its rightful owner. I gotta say it does look a little bit sad. and empty back here, but listen, we're just seeing this as an opportunity. and we want to do a community building exercise. - Oh, yeah. - We want you to help us fill this spot. - Yeah, I mean, we could have made it product placement, but this is gonna be a lot more fun.

It's gonna make us a lot less money. - Yeah, we wanna source something special, a bass from a Mythical beast. to live permanently on our wall. - Yeah, I think it should be a bass. preferably from a guy named Gregg. - Right. Hopefully Greg spell with two Gs at the end, but we will accept something from Greg. with one G at the end if that's all we get. or we'll just take a bass guitar. Standards are pretty low. - But well, hopefully there's something special. about the bass guitar. Like it's from the bassist from Alabama.

- That's pretty specific. - [Link] Teddy Gentry, he's the guy with the hat. Right there. - [Rhett] He's still around? - [Link] He's still around. Teddy Gentry. - Is that a-- Are you making a special request? - If you're a Mythical Beast. and you want to donate your bass? I think that would be awesome. - Or if you're a guy named Greg with three Gs, that's the first G and then the last two Gs. and you got a bass guitar. that was touched by a famous person, preferably any member of Alabama, then we would like to hear from you. - Okay. You know what? We'll take anything that fits in that location. and has a good story to go along with it.

- Fits the space and has a good story. - Doesn't even have to be a bass. if the story's good enough and it fits. So send us your serious offers. I don't want-- I don't want no spam, all right? We got people who have to go through this stuff, all right? So we're putting a link in the description. and you can-- Or you can just go to our Twitter feed. 'cause the link is gonna lead to a Twitter post, also known as a tweet. - Just a tweet, yeah. - Where you can reply with your photo. of what your want to donate. And then a sales pitch.

You can give us a little sales pitch. or like the story about why we should have it. I mean, we're not gonna buy it, so I shouldn't call it a sales pitch. I'm asking you to-- Bless you. - That was a cough. - Oh, well... Unbless you. (crew laughing). - No need to bless a cough. - Okay. On the Twitter--. I was talking. On the Twitter thread--. - I tried to lean away. - Post your photo, you tell your story. and then you can also browse through. and see other peoples and comment on it,

like it, let us know. - Maybe one will rise to the top. - You know, there's kind of a way of voting there, but your special item could be. a permanent part of the Mythical set. - Yes, and then we are going to select one. based on sort of community sentiment. and following up and with our own investigation. And then it will be revealed as a new set piece. in a future episode right here in this spot. - We just thought it would be fun. We thought it would be interesting. - It will be. - I hope there's a payoff to this, Teddy.
