How Unpopular Are Our Food Opinions?

Today, we decide the right way to dip your wings. Let's talk about that. Good mythical morniiiing! You know, opinions are like buttholes! Everybody's got one and we asked you to share yours with us, via a survey. It's time for... incredible edible percent-ibles! Okay, boys! We asked the mythical beasts if they prefer to dip their wings.

in ranch or blue cheese. So, go ahead and try both. Slippery. Okay. Um. Don't watch me while I prepare my wing! The only - The only way that I eat. I'll have -. I'm doing half and half. You got ranch over here. No, that's blue cheese. Yeah. This is blue cheese. The only way that I ever eat blue cheese... is on a hot wing. What about on a wedge salad? I hate it, otherwise. No, I hate that. I'm surprised you ever eat it on... wings!

Something about the spiciness... And it's a nice complement! And the, the, the pungency! It is a nice complement. And it helps because... If something's really spicy, I need something to distract me. Here's the thing. I'll just go with this end. You all know I love blue cheese, but! I don't. exclusively dip... my wings in blue cheese! Because ranch is incredible. What's the name of the place that we like? Wingstop. The Wingstop ranch, of course! Oh, God!

Wingstop. It's so good! It's better than the blue cheese. But that. and that does throw the scale off. But I have to think that this... voting. Wasn't really. do you think they really? Will add a Wingstop factor. It's, it's really. which one... you pre-fer. So you can, you can like both. But which one do you pick? I, I would pre. So. How's that? I would pick blue cheese if I was... this is what we're trying to do. We are advising... Which puts you over here. You would pick blue cheese. We are.

but this isn't about me. No, obviously. We are advising. This is you. a restaurateur, who has to pre-buy. his ranch or her ranch. This is you. How to divide the pie, restaurateur? And her blue cheese. And I'm just off the top of my head. I'm like... 75/25! 50/50. Okay. Where I was? Yeah, hold on. Why would you think it'd be 50/50? There's no way that blue cheese is 50/50. I don't even know... which one. Seventy -. you're saying 75 ranch. Of course! Why would you -. How. how.

Because I -. where. what are -. How? Why are you confused about this? Here's why. Because... I just figured out that I personally prefer... blue cheese... over ranch. on wings. Yeah, yeah. Exactly! Okay, well. I'm happy for you. in this moment, but I'm trying to win this game. And this right here... The average person does not like blue cheese, in my experience. Well, and as a reminder. Not only... do you get a point if you guess... which one the mythical beast prefer more,

but you have to get within 15% of the actual percentage. Yeah. to get three more points. So, that's... Here's what. worth more. yeah. You got to go all the way here? Okay. So. We're going to do that. My instinct takes me to 75/25. But... I know. that the mythical beasts. are a slightly... weird lot. I knew that. And we like weird. And weird makes you like blue cheese a little bit more. So, I think we go... And because -. to 70/30. Because, I... You're throwing it way off.

I'm just saying, I'm a data point! My voice matters. It's not about you, Link. It's about everyone else. And so... let's just. hey, hey, you know what? And maybe just for... kicks and giggles, that's, that's a clean way of saying the other thing. Uh... What if we just go to an odd number, like -. 31. 31/69. Because, you know, we like that! Yes. We both... individually and separately like that. Yeah. Okay. Are you locked in? Yup. Isn't that obvious?

Seventy... Oh, let me, wait. let me. Just kidding. Yeah, no! I just said the first part, 79%! See, I was Yeah, yeah. my instinct's 80/20. I should have just gone with it! Um, the mythical beast, beasts... voted for ranch. So, you did. you squeezed. you still. you got the points. We still got it. We still got it. But we didn't get it as good as we should have! Yeah, and begs the question, like... We still did it! You - You got. you got -. Come on, now! Hold on! You confused yourself, and then you confused me, and then you confused all of us! confused! I'm not co. I'm enlightened! I was saying 80/20!

And you should be happy! I'm happy for you, I'm sad for us. For? Because. well, we did! But we could. hey, do we get more points if we get it exactly right? Yes! I'm deciding right now. No, no! Yes. Yeah! No. But yeah, you're -. If you get it to the... to the percentage. You're enabling his... unnecessary... a goal! anger! I want to have a really ambi, am, ambitious goal! I want to have... Okay. If we nail it... We... get... all the blue cheese we want, now that you like it.

Excuse me. See? Look at him. So, if you get 12 out of the 16 points available, you win some special. swag! That's what's on the line. And if we get it exactly right? And if you get the - Yeah, you get blue cheese. Okay. 'Cause that's what you chose. Um. Up next! What we chose. We asked the mythical beasts if they preferred to make their PB&J. sandwiches with smooth or crunchy peanut butter. Smooth.

Of course, we're both smooth peanut butter boys, right? Um, yeah! If, if I had to choose. If you had to back me into a corner, I wanted this corner to be smooth. I just like... smooth foods. But do you think that -. The question of whether or not. the context of the sandwich. How much does the context of a sandwich impact just whether. or not somebody prefers. crunchy or smooth? If it was just crunchy versus smooth, no sandwich context. You get more smooth. I think some people are going to go to crunchy. But - What?

But. do, don't you think sandwich. excuses, uh, crunchy? That's yeah, you, yeah, I agree. Of course, here I am changing my mind again. I think now I like... crunchy better. than smooth. On a sandwich. Because it gives me a reason to chew, and I'm gonna chew anyway. And I might as well have a... I might as well be able to defend myself. with whatever Rhett's about to throw at me. I completely agree. I'm gonna chew as if it's crunchy, might as well be crunchy. But this is a new thing for me.

Crunchy peanut butter reminds me of when men start liking, like, big pieces of peppercorn and things as they get older. I love that! You know what I'm saying? Hey, we already started. Yeah. Yes! Yes! So, that makes sense to me. I feel like, the older you get, the more you would like the crunchy peanut butter. So... Just the whole corn! let's just. okay. But I would have put it here. I have a suggestion for maybe how we could go about this. If it was smooth versus crunchy. and it was just the peanut butter. because I think this is maybe how a lot of people think about it. So now, I'm three -.

I'm thinking... 70, 30. But then you add the sandwich, and I agree... that it creates more of an experience. That maybe influences it by 13%. Would you think, maybe? I think that's a lot. Seven percent. How many people keep. smooth and crunchy peanut butter in their homes? Me and my family, back in North Carolina. Really? I've never observed. how quickly they go away, though. And is it just because different people, like, are allegiant to different ones?

It's because... we like variety. And I would do both of them. I do, I don't have. I'm not, "Oh, I'd like this, I only do this" kind of guy. I'm like, I do this most of the time, but sometimes I want to do this, I like mixing it up. I don't get the same. damn ice cream flavor every time either! Right? You still look angry. Yeah. Oh, I am! I want to win this so bad. Okay. You just really need to relax those brows a bit today, man! No, this, this is how you win, man! Intensity is how you win! And. now, I'm on your team. You want somebody like me on your team! You understand?

I just feel like it's directed at me. I'm -. If this was against you -. I'm just trying to make you happy. Well, you're not doing it. See? It is directed at me. So, uh... Okay. if it was 70/30, what percentage do you think it im. is, then skewed based on sandwich? You think 13 is too many. 63 and 37? It does seemed too. it seems like we're too much crunchy now because we've. I just - All right, I'm gonna... -- I'm, I'm, I'm gonna. I'm gonna do your thing! That's a lot of red here for crunchy.

I needed a -. Look at that! Hold on, but -- but I. Just look at that pie! But I want, I need a reason, though. I'm not, I'm, I'm, not confident in this. Why do you think... too, this is too much crunchy? Because -. People like crunchy! It's a gu-. You just decided you liked it more! But it's a gut thing! Right, but just a moment ago. I'm just looking. pe, people, people are voting based on their gut, not based on -. I'm just trying to Right. I'm trying to understand your logic. A moment ago, you discovered that you liked blue cheese more than you did. And that caused you to move it... mo. you, you wanted to increase the blue cheese area! We just did the exact same thing with crunchy peanut butter and.

now you're trying to decrease the crunchy peanut butter area! Yep. So, what am I supposed to do?! That's, that's because... I'm learning from my mistakes. I'm growing! -- I'm embracing... the new me. Thirty three. 33 and 67. But we can go 37. No. No, we'll, I want to go, I want to go 37. For you.

I want this to be your answer. I think we should move it a little bit. I think we should move it a little bit. That this round is where it's center. It seems pretty important. I think we should move it, No, no. to the compromise. And I think we should just go with the instinct of the 35. Okay. And then we should move it to not be on an even number. 34 then. Okay. 34. and 66. My answer's 22. Alright. But -. Why?! Why?! We're locked in. We're locked in.

Gut, man! 75% of the mythical beasts voted for smooth peanut butter. Okay, so we did it again. Dang it!!! We did it again. We're good! We did it again! Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're still so good! But we didn't get it exactly right. And, and we never would have. So it's just 75/25? That's boring! Ever wonder what happens here on the weekend? Well, you should watch Good Mythical Weekend tomorrow. on this channel. to find out.

We asked the mythical beasts if they preferred ice cubes... or crushed ice. Okay. Well, you know what? I have an immediate answer. But we're so good at this, I think we should up the ante. I think, it's too easy to get within 15. I mean, we're such naturals at this. Well, how about 10? Yep. How about we gotta get within 10. Alright. And look, he, he smiled. I like a challenge! Okay. Alright. There you go. We're getting it within 10. You have an immediate answer, and that imme. immediate answer is 3, 2, 1. Crushed.

Crushed. Why? I don't know. Because... it was immediate. Do you - I agree. I mean, look at it! This is beautiful. This is... But I have a... I have a... an experiential. Sad looking. Experiential? I'm about to have one too. Go ahead. I have an experiential... I don't know why I can't say the word, experiential reason for this. Okay. And it is because, I am an ice eater. I'm an ice eater! I'm an ice eater, man. The, I mean, you, you ever watch.

you ever watch my dad... drink a. drink? I'm not. You ever watch my dad drink a drink? He basically eats the drink. First of all, he doesn't believe in men using straws. It's a thing of his generation. No. Menus?! He doesn't believe in menus or straws. How, how does he order? Gut! He doesn't believe in men. using the straw. Oh! I don't need to see the menu, I don't believe in them! I'm gonna smell the air and decide what I want.

Is this a pattern? Because right before we did this episode, I thought Nicole said the P word. And she said what? Bless you. Yeah, you did. Bless you. Yeah. Why would she just say the P word? Why would she look at you and just say the P word? Well. Right after you sneeze. Exactly! I'm puzzled! So anyway... That's a good reason. That's a good reason. So -. We McLaughlins are... ice chewers. He's representing the ice eaters and I'm representing the "don't like to get. doinked in the nose by a big cube!". And both of us like crushed!

For different reasons. Who, who wouldn't like crushed? Give me a reason, 'cause I don't understand. Give me a reason, maybe it's because there's some people who don't want the ice to. maybe get in their mouth at all. And that might be a big thing for some people. Yeah. So, I don't want ice in my mouth. I want ice in my drink! Yeah, yeah. You look this way. Look, look, look at the -. What is happening? Nothing! Nothing's happening. Everything's fine! He, he broke it. I think, I think, everyone, I'm saying a hundred percent...

likes crushed ice. Maybe if I grab... part of it and you grab part of it. No, no, no, no, no. You trying to... No, don't do that. It's, it's this. Oh, fixed it. Okay. Alright. So what I'm saying is... my answer to your question. Some people don't like it or not? Is... Rate of melt. It gets colder. Oh, it gets watery. It gets, well, it gets hotter quicker. The ice turns into... the water faster.

And it gets watery. And once you start to think about that, then that might be... This is why some people do the really big cube in their cocktails. Yep. Right. Bless you. Right? So... So, that's bringing us back down to, I feel like, we were up here in, like, 99, and now we're back here in... just so you know, I was never at 99. 83rd. No, I. If it was just me and you being surveyed, then maybe -. You know, I'm saying, like -. We matter. We do matter! But we're trying to, uh, put ourselves in the, in the people,

the people's shoes, and their shoes are different than ours. -- And they may... hate crushed ice for reasons that... we've never heard articulated! We repre, we represent. It could be... 55/45. Oh, God. This could be... almost a split opinion. And we're, we up it within... I mean, we could be even completely wrong here. It could be completely the other way around because of what you. just said and the ice melt factor. Ice cubes. The rapper!

And. yeah! Is there a guy named. Crushed Ice, who... has been famous for... decades? So what are you saying? You're talk, you're, you're talking 54. We're talking 54, 46, Stevie. 46? Yep. 54/46. Fifty... Two percent! I knew it! But we didn't nail it! We almost did, though! But we, we are so good at this. Voted for crushed ice cubes.

Crushed ice! So, so... it was slightly! you were so... You were so. almost right. Yes, yes. Slightly. we are, we're tapped in! Finally, we asked the mythical beasts if they preferred microwave or stovetop popcorn. Okay, before we confuse ourselves, let's start eating it. Okay? This is the stovetop, I'm not confused. I think... you have to take into account... the full process, not just how the final product tastes. Because I assume that this is gonna taste better.

What is it. what, how does this start? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This starts as flat? It's a stove. Yeah. Like, this whole thing is flat? I've never done this. uh a little package that looks like a pan that you, It comes with uh, there it is right here... Jiffy Pop! Look at that, Nicole! Bless you! It's so flat! Which makes sense, and then it gets so big! And we're not saying... uh, popcorn machine. Because if you get one of those popcorn. machines, like... I got one as a gift, like one of the little plastic ones.

and... if you don't flavor that yourself, it's really flavorless. Just word to the wise. Okay. Gently lift this tag. I will say stovetop could also be... the, you know, the, the pots, the popcorn pots that you put on. They, they emulate the same process where there's. the, Put oil. the kernels and the oil and then it heats up over the stove. Okay. So, I think Jiffy Pop... counts. But... you, you, you could broaden it. Okay. And it says, "as much fun to make as it is to eat.". Okay.

It's fun to watch that thing grow. Points for this! Even though I didn't know about it. This is so ubiquitous! The flavor of a, of, microwave popcorn... is great. because of the. seasonings are so dialed in, but it doesn't have that, "this was just on the stove and some oil" kind of flavor, which is distinctly different. Do you take the, um, popcorn. kernels... and, no... scrape the inside of the bag? Put in a bowl? Get all those... yellow carcinogens that on the -. No, because the act of doing that,

I assume would be loud and annoying to the people I was with. Oh. Haven't thought about it. Yeah. Um. But it tastes good! I'm telling you should scrape that! Just get in there. This is way better... tasting! And they've got a. the - They've got the flavor dialed in. But... Might start a fire? You gotta turn your stove on.

I don't know that the flavor's... better. It's, it's harder... To get the. well, let me ask a question. Is it not harder to get the right result with. the microwave bag? There's a lot of burnage that happens. I think this is definitively better. Having them side by side. But again, I never do this! I either do microwave. or I do, like, sometimes I'll do, like the home. this, I gotta do Jiffy Pop. I didn't really. think about this option. It's like the best of both worlds!

It's convenient, pre-flavored, but it's not microwaved. It needs whole peppercorns on it. Uh... But it's just not convenient, my man. You think people are influenced by the choices that they've already made? Like the fact that most people just have a thing of microwave. popcorn in their cupboard. Yes, they call it a cupboard. So... I, I think the microwave is so much more popular! Right? I haven't even. neither one of us have even thought about this. But. are people, like, answering this question and they're thinking,

"Well, I think I would prefer stovetop. Even though I have microwave. I'm gonna put stovetop." So. We don't even -. I think household cupboards around. the world, I think we're talking... Eighty... four percent microwave. Right? It's right there. Yeah, I agree. So... And then, people get asked a question on a survey and they start doubting. themselves and they're like, "Mhm, I feel guilty about liking the microwave." I think people want to.

believe that they like this more. And I think... to, to the tune of 7%. And that's a - Some people, yeah. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or so. So that's at 22%? If I did the five -. Yeah, the 78? I don't, I don't, that doesn't feel right to me. I feel like we need to go. five more. Did you see that video. of Tom Cruise eating popcorn? Yeah. I mean, was, he was doing it.

He was doing it... for this reason. Was it a, was it a joke? So that we would talk about it. Was it a joke? He gets giddy in theaters, man. This is for the queen sweep. This is for blue cheese. Oh, it is? Are, are you locked in? Um. What did you do there at the end? I brought it down. I added a little bit more stovetop. But you have to give me a reason. I don't, I don't have a reason. Hold on. I feel, I feel like I believe in it, though. But I feel like I believe in it half as much as you just did.

So, I think we move it another three. And then we move it one more. So that's like. 'Cause we don't like 75. We don't like 75/25. Yep. How we feel about that? Seventy... four. 26. Then I think we move it a little bit more, because people. have an idealized version of themselves. Yep. Because people think -. And it's the part that, "oh, I love stovetop. But I never had it, but I think I'd like it.". Yeah, that's right. You know who you are. Yep. 29%. That feels right. Okay.

Seventy... Two! Oh, dang it! We're so good at this! Percent of the mythical beast voted for microwave popcorn. Dang it, man. We almost nailed it!!! You almost got the blue cheese, but you did... Hey. This system. How are we so good at this? get this...swag coming in! Hey, this system. This is like a mind meld thing that we've come up with. Within one percent! Go. That's why we're good at... bagging frequency. 76 percentage of statistics are made up!

1% better every day. leads to incredible results! Thank you. That's a -. Thank you for this! I would have liked that blue cheese, but I'll take this. Don't forget to come back for good Mythical weekend tomorrow. right here on this channel! Thanks for coming and sharing this video! You know what time it is?
