What Foods Survive Under Water?

Which food survives best underwater? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Okay, I want you to think about everything. that you eat. Okay. All right, I did it. Okay. All everything? That was it? Yeah, everything that I eat, yeah. Okay, would you say. that it is mostly wet or mostly dry?

Good g- Access. I'm gonna say everything that I eat is mostly moist. I'm sorry for using the term if you're averse to it. Mostly moist. Mostly moist, but I wouldn't say soaking wet, unless it's drinks that I've been drinking. Okay. Do you think that the food. that is mostly moist could be even wetter? No, but I'm gonna have an open mind today. That's great, because that's what we're doing today.

We are taking food and we are holding it underwater. to see how it holds up. Because that's important if you're a boater. Yeah, this is for boaters. And you're launching on the boat. We'll explore other reasons why we're doing this. as we try to figure that out. Okay boys, behind you are three food choices, and you are each going to draft the one. that you think will keep its original essence the best. Then you'll soak 'em and see. And the loser of each round must take a bite.

of both soaked foods. The ultimate loser at the end will somehow. have to do something even worse than that. First up, we have a Chipotle burrito, a jello cup, and a grilled cheese, and Link, because you did such a good job. squeegeeing yourself in the shower this morning-. I did. You get to choose first. Huh. I did. Huh. You're still doing that? Yeah, and I think about it every time I'm doing it. And I'm wondering if I'll get praise from Stevie or anyone.

Do you picture people watching you while you're doing it? I just picture myself watching as a third party. What about your neighbor. who looks through your shower window? It's too foggy for that. Ha ha, see? Now is this salt water or fresh water? I think it's non-potable. It's LA River water. I think it's gray water. It's gray water. No, it's not! Grilled cheese, Jello? How could Jello not be the choice?

Well, do you have to take the. Jello out of the-. Burrito. Yeah, you can't leave it in the plastic. So you have to hold-. You gotta take the burrito out of the foil? Yeah. What, do we know the contents of the burrito? Oh, this is cut. I touched it and it, and I, and it's, that's something that makes me not want that. What's in the burrito, chicken? Steak. Oh no. White rice, black beans, roasted chili corn salsa, fajita veggies. and romaine lettuce. Ooh, wet lettuce.

Oh. Soaky lettuce. All right, I have to go with the Jello. 'Cause you're a kind of a Jello cup kind of guy. Yeah, ooh, oh, I'm not gonna touch that. That stuck to the thing. They said, they told me, they said, don't grab the one that's up here. We'll hand you another one. Because- Too late. Because boy, that was awkward. Okay, so... I got, I'm pitching a tent over here. See? I told you it was awkward. All right, so I've got Jello. Now I'm gonna go with-.

I'm gonna win. Burrito, or, I mean, clearly, the burrito's not cut, right? It is uncut. Look how all, look at all of the, so-. The ends of that bread is what's gonna really slurp it up. So am I gonna use this grilled cheese sandwich. or this uncircumcised burrito? See, I'm making it weird, see, I'm just trying. to try to keep up. There you go. I'm gonna go with burrito. Okay. I agree. Please don't touch. With your choice. Oh, can you touch? Yeah, don't grab that. Oh, no. Hold on. Yeah, don't touch.

Hold on. How do I know this isn't a trick burrito? Okay-. We're gonna open these things. Yeah. And we're gonna, we're gonna put 'em down in there. because we're on a boat, pontoon boat. Yeah, yeah. And we're eating our lunch. And then both things are going over. And then we wanna know which one we can still retrieve. Yeah, and which ones, which one do you wanna save, 'cause you can't save both? Now. Okay, we're gonna do an even 60 seconds. as soon as both of you are ready. I'm going left hand. How does this... I'm waiting until you get free.

Oh, oh, oh! Okay, ready? I guess I'll go right hand. Three, two, one. Oh, sorry. I'm just gonna drop it right there. Why is the water so warm? Rhett, let go. Well, it's about to overflow. I'm just trying to get it fully submerged. Push it, push it, push it, push it, push it down. Okay, fully submerged. Push it down. Push it down further though. No, I wanna be able to grab it. It's submerged. Come on. Hey, if it fell into the lake, this is what it would do. It'd float just below the surface. But it needs more water pressure. You don't, hey.

Just push it a little, thank you. Keep, there you go, see? No, I'm agitating-. Mine's to the bottom. I'm agitating it. Even Steven, even Steven. Even Steven? Wow, it's really holding up. I think you might have trouble grabbing it out of the lake. Like, it looks like, you'd be like, oh no, my Jello's fine. And then you reach in there. Next thing you know, you're on your ski. Are you skiing or are you, what are you doing these days? I'm- Water skiing? I'm heavily drinking, thank you. Okay, all right, are you a tube man? I thought it was a pontoon boat.

What else do you do in a pontoon boat? Oh, you can pull a skier. behind a really good pontoon boat. Oh, really? Yeah, if there's, if they're small enough. And time. Okay, here we go. Pulling it out. Bring this thing in, Link. Oh yeah, 'cause we're gonna-. Why'd y'all gimme a fish net? What're you, I'm gonna grab my burrito outta there. Yeah, I'm gonna use my bare hand. Oh God. Oh, look at that, boy, I'm eating that. Look at that. That is an intact, that is, you wouldn't know. You would've no idea.

You would've absolutely no idea. Oh God. Look at that. See? So I feel like-. I feel like I clearly won, 'cause yours is-. No, mine's totally fine. It's totally fine. I do think it's only soggy on the outside. Well, I mean, I will say. that I feel like yours is-. Gentleman's agreement? 100% unchanged. Yeah.

I feel like, like if you were to take. that and put it back in your cup. In fact, where's your cup? Right here. You give that to your wife, she'd never know. it fell in the lake. You know what I'm saying? Baby, you want the Jello I brought? Is she in the hospital? She will be. Is that a threat? No, no, no. I'm just saying-. You gonna put my wife in the hospital? I'm saying if your wife eats Jello. that dropped in the lake, she might get a brain eating amoeba. and then she'll be in the hospital. and you better say your goodbyes because she's not living. Okay, so did you, you decided.

that Link takes this round-. I won. So, Rhett-. My wife is in dire circumstances. If you could-. Yeah, my wife's totally fine. So, I think I'm the real winner. Eat both of these! Okay, Justin Bieber. Oh, that is, that's not too bad, right? It's wet on the outside. It's not bad at all. Yeah, eat all of that in one slurp, yeah. Because you're you. Because he's him, he had to do that. It would've been funnier if you didn't say anything. I know, yeah. We'll cut that out. Yeah, cut out Link saying, stepping on my joke.

Eat all that in one slurp. Yeah, yeah, you don't need to direct me, buddy. Okay, before you pick your next items, I teased the ultimate loser. was gonna have a really bad punishment, and that is, we are collecting the water from every tank. that we're using during this game. We're pouring a little bit into one cup, and then that loser's gonna have to drink that whole cup. of dirty food water. Yum. Exciting? Yum, yum, yum.

Okay, this round you have rice cakes, Doritos, and onion rings. We've got some really dry stuff this round. Now, I know you're thinking this. Wouldn't those things, some of these things, maybe all. of these things float if you were to throw them in the lake? And what we have been told is if something. is a natural floater, that it will-. That's healthy. That it will be put into a weighted netted bag. So if you've been wanting. to see a weighted netted bag today-.

Here's your moment. Do not click away. Make a joke about the weighted... Yeah, yeah, we'll edit this out. And also, I already did. Oh. Yeah. All right. Okay, so I'm up first-. Choose. Boy, these are all potentially not great things to drop. Mm-mm, mm-mm. Doritos. Boy, well, we just saw a tortilla do pretty well though. Better than it should have, in my opinion. Onion ring, it's batter-y. A rice cake is gonna become just rice.

Very permeable. I think I'm going with the onion rings. I think that's a good choice. I gotta go with the Doritos. because the powder that's covering these magical triangles. is adding some imperperviability. It's not- Look at that. It's harder to be perved. Look at that weighted netted bag. Weighted netted bag. Oh man, that is beautiful. The weight is beautiful.

Look at the, the weight is beauti-. What is this weight? Is it sand? It's a fishing weight. It's a fishing weight? That's a fishing weight? It looks like it could be a turquoise, I dunno, you could insert that in all types of places. When I said weighted netted bag, did you have any expectations. that it would be this beautiful? It's a teabag. Let's not kid anyone. All right, let's drop it in. Three, two, one. There it is. They're going in and then a little agitation.

Okay, that's plenty. That's lake level. Now if I dropped my onion rings. from the pontoon boat in a weighted netted bag-. Yes. That would be a problem. Because have you ever dropped anything into a lake? Didn't you drop keys into a lake? I dropped keys into a lake that were-. You threw keys and it hit the side of a boat. and fell directly into the lake. I remember this. I was- Where was that? At the lake. Boat ramp. Boat ramp. At the boat ramp.

Yeah, I was-. Was that with Chris's boat? I threw the keys. I was on the shore, or I was waiting. and instead of walking all the way to the boat, I threw the keys when I was halfway, which was stupid. because they hit the side of the boat and went in the water. and then the boat was drifting. Drifting. And then Chris, your brother-in-law, was on the boat. And he was like, I'm keeping an eye. on where you dropped 'em, which is impossible. Pull it out. And time. And then he jumped, hold on, let me tell my story.

Or just pull it out and keep-. Okay, weighted bag. Keep going. Then he jumped out of the boat into the spot. where he thought the keys were. He goes underwater and he comes up with the keys! With the keys! Yeah. I mean, it was exhilarating that moment, but telling it later-. No, I think it was worth it. I guess is not as exhilarating. I think it was worth it. So I'm gonna be very gentle-. But when you're at the lake. and you don't have your keys anymore, how the hell are you gonna get home? You know, it's like, it means a lot to find those keys.

Especially if you're the dummy. who banked them off the side of the boat. He really saved my life. Okay, so these are coming out. Ooh, I mean, look at that, it's beautiful. Mine are getting caught up in the weighted netted bag. Hold on, just gimme a moment. Mine are still, they're still the right shape, but they're so slimy. Oh, mine are, if you just saw that-. Oh my god.

If you just saw that on the floor of the boat. Oh, okay. You would think those are just some onion rings. Yeah, just let it, I bet if you let 'em dry, they'd probably be just as good. Yeah, look, I mean, look, they're still completely intact. So, you lose my friend. Hold on. Because mine are completely intact. Okay, they're slimy, you're right. I mean, I think what happened. to the exterior of the burrito happened to you. Lemme see, maybe it's not that bad though. I heard a little crunch. It was a whimper version of a crunch. Well, have an onion ring.

It tastes absolutely horrible. I'm a texture guy. This is a nightmare. I hate this. Okay. And if you're right, these will be better. An onion ring is already a bit slimy. That's what you want. You want the onion to come out and slurp you in the face. Right? I like the psychology of watching someone. hate something and go, that's what you want.

as everyone-. Yeah, I'm good at that. Listen, I've been married to my wife for 25 years. I'm really good at convincing someone to hate some, to love something that they hate. What? I don't know. I was trying to make a joke. You should have told me what to say. It's not, it's not as bad as this, so you're right, I earned the loss.

Third Degree quarterly or annual plan. Look at this thing. I mean, I got the board out here too. It's great for the lake. Yeah. This thing, you put this on a pontoon boat table, you drop it in the lake. I think for a minute it'd be fine. We're not gonna find out. We don't have a big enough-. It's made of cardboard. It's legit made with the makers of Clue. This is not a rip off. We're not gonna be sued because we worked with them on this.

So it's not waterproof-. Hasbro. But it, we would say it's water resistant. You wanna play this game, it's awesome. Let's forget about the water part. Okay, all right. When you join quarterly or annual Mythical Society, now you get 20% off your membership. So win-win-win. Okay, this round you're choosing from a calzone, a Pop-Tart, and a chocolate chip cookie. Okay. I'm drawn to the chocolate chip cookie because I like.

to submerge them in liquid. Now, typically that liquid is milk. And how long though? And the way that I do it, I'll take a chocolate chip cookie. and I'll put it in a mug of milk. and I'll put it in the bottom and I'll forget about it. And then I'll get another cookie and I'll do a dip. Oh, you want residue. You want sediment. I want a whole nasty cookie, just-. You want a spoon cookie. Disintegrating into the bottom of this thing, and I wanna eat it with a spoon. Yeah, you love a spoon. But with water, that's not gonna taste as good.

I know that these things are, that's a juicy one. There's a lot of oil in that, a cookie like that, though, that is water phobic. The Pop-Tart, that's like cracker. I mean that's cracker pastry material, right? Yeah. And then this one's. got a harder shell on it. You know, it's been baked. I'm gonna go with the cookie, but I'm not gonna grab it in hopes. that maybe it's in a weighted net. It is not. When you said, drawn to,

I thought you were going to confirm something. that's happening with me right now, which is I'm really. drawn to that calzone in a way, like, I'm attracted to it. There's something, it's, there's something about that calzone. And maybe it's just in this closeup shot, but-. Yeah. But maybe it's just me. I get it. Or maybe others-. No, it's not just you-. Are feeling this way. Okay, well let's send that back to Stevie. And then what about, what about even like, just look at the side of it. Get it, look at the cross section. You see what I'm, you know.

what I'm getting at? I dunno-. I feel like you're ruining the illusion. There's something about it. There's one here too, though. Whoops. Why don't you grab them? Well, because that's not the one I'm grabbing. Okay, all right. I would like to choose the calzone, but not that one. Right, don't I get another one? Oh. Oh, yeah, see? So you did choose the calzone? Yeah, because I think you made the right choice, but I think I made the second best choice. That's bread, dude. Yeah, but that's tart. Three, two, one.

Oh, yeah. Yep, keep it down, keep it down. You know, I hate to be the person to point this out, but I really could have used a weighted netted. bag, you know, 'cause now I have-. Weighted netted bag. Because now I have to hold it there. I mean, should tea bags be weighted? So, you know, I've run-. Because you know, when you do the thing-. I've run into this problem before. And then they wanna float. It depends on how heavy your tea is. I'm a light tea drinker. Sometimes they go, sometimes once the tea absorbs.

the water, it begins to go down, but you, you do make a valid point. Thank you. Made a valid point. Oh, well, I've been handed a weight. Put that on top. You got 19 seconds. No, no, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. But that is a beautiful weight. It looks swallowable. Yeah. Swallow it, swallow the whole thing. Yeah, I think this looks more like a suppository, which, stay tuned to Good Mythical More. Stick that all the way up your butt. Okay. And time. Okay, it's coming out.

Oh, oh, oh, I gotta go gentle. It turns a little, whoop-. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You made the wrong choice. No. Why don't you take a bite of my wet calzone? Because you lost. It's completely intact. It's, I mean, it's almost glistening. Like, it just looks like it's a buttery-. That's bad though. Really? I mean, haven't you been to Pizza Inn. and you spilled your water on the table?

You still eat the pizza? Yep. That's bad, that's bad. Yeah, but you, look at what happened to yours. But if this tastes better... Nope, that's not the test, friend. Which one held helds up better? That's a nightmare. 'Cause cookie not bread. Cookie, cookie. I mean, of course it's gonna taste good, but it, but I mean, that's not what's up for debate here.

A water logged cookie is almost as good. as a milk logged cookie. It's not of course, but. You should start dipping your milk-. When I'm outta milk, I'm gonna start. dipping my cookies in, a. Yeah. H2OA. I could definitely see you doing that. Oach2A. Late at night, you run outta milk. and you're dipping your cookies in water. Like, that's a very psychopathic thing that you would do. Oach2A. Okay, finally, you'll be choosing. between mashed potatoes, a brick of dry ramen.

and making its return, the grilled cheese. Your choice, sir. Is it weird to say, I don't think. there's a good option up here? Like, I think that there's room. for all of these things to disintegrate. Ramen, you put it into new, you put it into water and it-. Turns, it becomes what you desire. Right, but I would say that if one of us chooses the ramen. and it's a brick of ramen and then we pull it out. and it's no longer a brick.

and it's just a bunch of wet noodles, that means it didn't hold up. It didn't hold its brick shape. Judges? Yep. Correct. So if the ramen does what it's supposed. to do in normal circumstances, that disqualifies it here. In this particular thing that we're testing. That's, okay. The mashed potatoes. that could become a mess very quickly. My experience with wet bread-. I think he's going with the grilled cheese. Makes me think that maybe the butter. that is soaked into the bread.

of the grilled cheese will cause it. to have some stamina. Choose it. I'm choosing the grilled cheese. All right, but you're not grabbing it. I, you've scared me off of the ramen. because I thought that was obvious. It makes ramen! Yeah, but I, which one holds up? A brick becomes a non brick. I'm going with the mashed taters. because they're already so wet. and I guess I'm just gonna, should I put it in my hand.

or should I put it in my fish scooper? KG wants hand. Player's choice. I think the bowl's gonna be just fine. How did that happen? I dunno. Did you do that? Nope, I don't think I could. Did you-. I think I could try for a long time and never do it, just so you know. I don't know what happened.

I don't know. I was trying to get, I succeeded, but the bowl failed. I think you need to take the bowl out. Okay, still intact. Okay. Ooh, but now... So those are pre-potatoes that are in there right now? Three. Yeah, that's not my potatoes. Two-. These are my potatoes. One. Oh, look, there's so many bubbles. coming out of this. So many bubbles. I'm not squeezing, I'm just holding. What's, so much air in a grilled cheese. I mean there's so much air in a grilled cheese.

Who would've thought? Oh, and look, it looks like a snow globe. Like, there's little stuff falling off the bottom of it. If you ever get buried alive, just take a grilled cheese with you and breathe that. That's a life hack, man. It's like, hey, bury me with a grilled cheese. All right, gimme as many as you got. That's true. They got lots of air in 'em. So, if you're dealing with gangsters. Yeah, right, yeah, yeah. Always carry grilled cheese. Hey Boss, he wants to be buried with a grilled cheese. I dunno why.

I guess just do it. I guess you just give him the grilled cheese. Last time we did that, he came back. Let's do it again. I think he's breathing the grilled cheese. There's no air in the grilled cheese. Time. Oh gosh. He's hurting. He's trying really hard. Yeah, look, it's perfect. Look, I'm not even scared. I'm pulling mine up. It looks like biscuit batter. Okay, so here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna hold one end of this and see what happens.

It's dripping. It's got no tendernism. Yeah, it's got no tendernism. Y'all seen the guy that holds up the meat on TikTok. and it breaks and he is like, and then he like. walks away from the brisket? Yeah, if that were to break, if it breaks you gotta do. what you gotta-. You gotta gets a smokehouse somewhere. I kind of want it to break. Yeah, that would've hit so hard. If any of us knew what you were referring to. We both have seen this.

No, yeah, it keeps popping up. I'm thinking about making a special trip. I think it's in, it's in Southern California. Hold this one up too. Hold the end and see if you can get some tendernism. Tendernism? No, it's holding up pretty good. Now you hold up yours and see if you got tendernism. Oh. Well I am, I am. It's just, it's still a, it's still a big dollop. Look, it's not even going through my fingers, man. Hey, come on. The timing of that as you said it. But I'm impressed by that.

Okay, I don't, honestly, I don't know. This is how tendernism would work. He would drop, a little bit would drop off, and he'd go like... And it's a bri, it's a piece of brisket. He'd be like... And then he is like... That's the tendernism. I mean, it's really working. I wanna make a special trip. It's like an hour and a half away. I feel like you have to ask yourselves like, you're stranded, these two things have washed up. You have to eat one. What's the one that wins that? I feel like Links is more like it was before it started.

Right. Yours... Okay. Yours, I know there's more tendernism. Oh, see, there you go. Can't breathe this anymore. Don't put, don't bury me with this. All right, so we're saying you lose, so eat this and eat that. It's tough to eat soggy bread, and... I kinda like it. No you don't. No, it's like a tiramisu. I don't like tiramisu either. French toast.

There's a finger in there, now. Move your, move the finger. Hold on. Go off the top. I'm not-. Like talented freestyle rapper. Hold on. Okay. Quite good. Quite good, he says. Quite good. Which confirms our contortion. Yeah, actually if it was hot. it would be totally fine, totally fine. Well, the tie is scored, which is great news, 'cause that means we get to watch.
