- Today, our pizza party's gonna be...
(balloon pops)
popping.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good mythical morning.
- Today, we're going to be tasting head-to-head match ups
of the Internet's favorite pizza dipping sauces,
and guessing which ones you like best.
And we're going to be exploding some surprise balloons
along the way.
- Today's episode is sponsored by Kroger Brand.
And Kroger Brand products are made to exceed expectations
while fitting budgets.
Because why choose between great taste and great price
when you can have both?
- Yep, Kroger Brand truly delivers,
where awesome meets affordable.
And since you can't have a pizza dipping sauce taste test
without delicious pizza,
today our tasting tool of choice
will be the delicious Kroger Brand self rising crust pizza.
- Featuring a self rising crust recipe
that creates a soft and doughy crust
with just the right amount of crispness,
Kroger Brand has really leveled up the frozen pizza gang
with pizzeria style tastes.
You make it at home and flavor that rises to any occasion.
- And speaking of pizza and flavor
and rising to an occasion.
I think it's time that we rise to the occasion
and finally find out what the people's all time
favorite pizza dipping sauce flavors are.
It's time for "Hello pizza, Nice to meet ya.
What's the dip that we'll complete ya?
- Okay, we posted a bunch of pizza dipping sauce
match-ups online.
And then you voted on which between those two,
you thought you liked more.
Now in every round we're gonna taste both.
And then we're gonna guess which one
we think that you liked more.
- And our guesses are gonna have explosive consequences
because the balloon that is associated with our guess
is going to inflate from above us
and pop.
And then we'll find out if we're right,
we're going to be showered in confetti,
- Confetti.
- If we're wrong,
we're going to be showered with the losing sauce.
Hence all of the protective plastic.
I don't know if you can see the plastic.
- They can't.
(upbeat music)
- All right, let's kick things off
with two major juggernauts of the pizza dipping world;
marinara sauce versus garlic butter, man.
- Where you want to start?
gotta go super classic?
- All right, marinara on marinara.
Gives you that extra--
- [Rhett] You can't complain about that.
- Tomato niceness.
- I typically wait till the crust to dip into marinara,
but I have no--
- Because there's no crust
on the marinara.
- There's no marinara on the crust.
- That's right.
- But I have been known to just dip straight up
into garlic butter at any time and not just pizza,
but fingers.
- Mm-hmm, that is decadent looking.
Oh, man. Buttery.
Both of these are great.
I will say the love of my life
loves to always order extra marinara sauce.
- I sure do.
(Stevie laughing)
Oh, your wife.
- My wife dude - Your wife.
I knew that, she likes marinara.
- My wife goes extra on the marinara.
I find myself going in this direction.
- I'm a garlic butter man, so hold on--
- We're both voting for that, but--.
- But that's not what this is about.
- What do we think you vote for?
- I think more people on earth.
- Oh yeah.
- And the mythical beasts from all of earth.
- But there's already marinara on the
pizza - On the pizza.
Did they think about that? Did you think about that?
I don't know. I wasn't there when you were voting.
- They thought about everything.
- Do you want to just believe
that they would just naturally agree with us?
Is that what we're gonna do?
- I don't want to do it this way,
but would you rather be showered in garlic butter
or marinara sauce?
- I'd rather be showered in
marinara. - Garlic...
Oh, really?
(Stevie laughing)
I wanna be showered in butter. - Garlic butter is oily, man.
- That's sensual.
All right. I'll go with marinara sauce.
- So you think it's marinara sauce?
I was gonna say it was garlic butter.
- What?
I thought you said that that's what you thought
they would vote for.
- But that's what we voted for.
- I know.
- Okay.
I think more people like marinara
sauce. - So do I.
- Okay, that's our guesses, marinara.
Now, the way we find this out is--
- Protect our eyeballs.
- This will inflate, and if we're right, it's confetti.
And if it's wrong, it's marinara.
Whenever you're ready.
(blowing sound)
(balloon pops)
- Oh
Gosh, that was aggressive.
- That's sauce.
- It came out so aggressively that it's like fine particles.
It was like it nebulized. What's that called?
- I don't know the word that you're looking for.
- It turned into vapor.
- All I know is that we were wrong.
- [Stevie] Yeah, you were wrong.
64% of the mythical beasts, like dipping their pizza.
in garlic butter
more than marinara. - I told you.
- We should have gone with that man.
- I told you.
- That's what I was trying to do.
(soft music)
I've never had a thought to dip my pizza
in either ketchup or mayonnaise.
But we're about to do both,
because apparently some people do that.
- Well, Chase just mentioned that he was a ketchup dipper
as a child.
- Yeah, well, that makes sense.
- It's like, if you don't understand what marinara is,
and you might think that this could do it,
- This does not do it.
You only end up tasting the pizza at the very end
of the quest.
Each bite is a quest for me.
- Each bite is just a research for me.
I'm very scientific.
Mayonnaise adds
a dimension. - That works.
That works.
You still taste the cheese, the pizza...
Well the pizza is within the cheese.
The cheese is within the pizza technically.
- The ketchup covers it up.
The Mayo adds a dimension.
Just like sometimes when we enter the fourth dimension.
We're like, here we are.
- Yeah, here we are again.
- [Link] Here we are again.
- In the present.
- And here we are again.
- It's just like breaking the fourth wall,
which pretty much are constantly doing in this show.
We almost got it, "Good morning fourth wall".
(background laughter)
- I like to think of you as a wall.
(Stevie laughing)
I definitely like the better. - It's gotta be the mayo.
- It's gotta be the mayo.
- [Rhett] We're going with the mayo.
- [Link] We're voting for the mayo.
- And we're goggling up.
- [Link] I don't know if we were clear about that.
- We're voting--
- [Link] For the mayo.
- For the mayo.
- So give me some confetti.
(blowing sound)
(balloon pops)
Aah.
Is that confetti?
Well, that's a mayo-like confetti.
- What? Y'all are crazy.
- [Stevie] I was worried this was gonna be too easy.
It turns out, not the case.
Because 60%
of mythical beasts - Look at all that mayo
right there.
- [Stevie] Prefer ketchup over mayo.
- What's wrong.
- That's 'cause they haven't actually tasted it.
- You haven't tried it, you just like the idea.
- You can't fill out a survey hypothetically.
- Well, hello fourth wall, we just tried it
and you're wrong.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, now we've got an adventurous matchup.
This is hot honey versus Thai peanut sauce.
I know what Thai peanut sauce is.
It's like peanut sauce.
- Yeah, right. From Thailand.
- But hot honey, is that just like warmed honey?
- It's honey that's got chilies infused in it.
You know how I know that?
Because just a second ago I asked Josh what it was.
- Let's try it.
- [Rhett] This sounds good to me, by the way.
I like Thai peanut sauce. - [Link] I've never had
hot honey.
I've had regular honey.
- You've had regular honey?
(Stevie laughing)
- On pizza, dude.
- Wow, you get around.
(background laughter)
Oh, that's spicy.
- Oh gosh. That is infused.
- The people of Colorado, they put honey on their pizza.
- [Link] But it's not hot honey.
- [Rhett] When was the last time you went?
- I can't remember, man. Don't put me on the spot.
- Maybe the honey has gotten hot.
- You can't act angry and then smile and make it all better.
- Oh yes you can.
(Rhett laughing)
Okay this is--
- [Link] I've never had this on pizza either.
- But have you've ever had it?
- Yeah.
'Cause I get around.
- You've been to Thailand.
- I went all the way around to Thailand.
Loved it there.
- I've heard of honey on pizza.
I've heard of putting peanut butter sauce
on a like a Thai style pizza.
- Yeah.
- But just dipping in it.
- That's weird.
But that honey right there, that's a ticket, man,
that's gonna take you somewhere.
- But when they saw hot honey on the survey,
were they like you and me, and like, what's that?
- Warm honey, either way, I think they're voting for it.
- If it was warm, honey,
they're even more likely to vote for it.
- Aye.
- All right, we're voting for the hot honey, honey.
Okay, here we go.
- Blow it.
(blowing sound)
(balloon pops)
- Oh. - Oh.
It's hot honey.
It's somehow.
- It's so heavy.
- Somehow I escaped.
- It just plopped
right there.
What is that?
- Look, I got pieces of balloon that got hot honey on them,
and they're just stuck to me.
- [Stevie] So guys, this is a first for the show.
- We were wrong.
- [Stevie] 50% thought that the hot honey was better
and 50% thought that the Thai peanut butter sauce was.
- So we would have
gotten it either way - [Stevie] So either way.
- Why couldn't you put confetti in both of them?
- [Stevie] Come on, that's not fun.
(indistinct crosstalk)
(upbeat music)
- All right.
We continue to move further and further away
from what I consider to be normal.
We're going to be dipping in cheese sauce,
which is not that abnormal, but also balsamic glaze.
- Balsamic glaze, on like a breadstick.
I can buy that.
- You've had breadsticks?
- I have Rhett.
'Cause you know what, I've been around.
- You know what I mean,
the amount of experiences that you have had
that I don't know about.
You've had honey and you've had breadsticks.
- Boy, that's funny.
You saying that is funny.
(background laughter)
This is kind of redundant, right?
- No, it's a different kind of cheese though.
This is like a nacho cheese.
- Nacho cheese on a pizza.
- It's unnecessary. It's excessive, but it's pretty good.
- That nacho cheese was good though.
- [Rhett] It was.
- Got you.
You're never going to get in. You you should give this up.
Okay, now--
- [Rhett] Got to go easy on this stuff.
It can really strong. - Yeah,
I went hard on it.
Aggressive.
Hmm. I like that.
- That's very, very good.
It's better than the cheese sauce.
But again, that is not what we're trying to do.
I have to think about that every single time.
- Especially when you get down to the crust,
this is a ticket right here.
- There's there's no way
that more people prefer balsamic glaze
over just straight up cheese.
- And again, when you're taking a survey
and you see cheese. - Cheese.
You're like cheese - Cheese.
cheese - Cheese.
Yeah, we going with cheese.
- We're also going cheese.
- Blow her up.
Confetti,
(blowing sound)
(balloon pops)
Yeah - Yeah
- You were wrong.
We were right about you being wrong.
That's right.
- [Stevie] Yeah. 80% of mythical beasts
preferred cheese sauce.
- Y'all are missing out.
(upbeat music)
Now, while you might find a buffalo on a ranch,
we have to choose between the two.
- Aah
- Buffalo sauce or ranch
Let me just say we finally got to the round
where these are both of the things that I would choose.
I do like garlic butter.
- Yeah.
- But other than that, we haven't tasted anything
that I'm really into,
but buffalo sauce and ranch?
- Buffalo sauce as a base for a particular type of pizza.
Yes.
- Dipping is incredible.
- It does work with the marinara.
I've just never done it.
- That's heavenly.
I usually just sprinkle hot sauce
over my pizza. - Yeah, just sprinkle it.
You can't go wrong with ranch.
Especially after some hot sauce, they do go well together.
- That is really nice.
- So which one do you prefer?
- Buffalo.
- I prefer the ranch.
I think once you factor in like a bottle
and it's not technically dipping,
but like dashing,
a lot more people dash. - [Rhett] I think more people
dip in ranch.
- Yeah, a lot more people dash with that,
but it's technically still in the dip world, I guess.
- But you're right.
When you hand somebody hot sauce or buffalo sauce,
you usually hand them a bottle.
When you hand that ranch,
you hand them one of those little plastic things
that they pop open and they dip all kinds of stuff in there.
So we're going with ranch.
That's what you wanted to go with?
- Yeah.
- Ranch.
- We're voting for ranch.
I'm like, well, it's more in front of me.
That scares me a little bit.
All alright, here we go.
There she blows.
(blowing sound)
(ballon pops)
- That's confetti.
- We were right.
- We'd had a bad start,
but we got pretty good by the end.
- [Stevie] 62% Of the mythical beasts
like dipping their pizza in ranch better.
And before...
We're done here,
we asked the mythical beasts
overall what their favorite dipping sauce was.
And I stuck those cards in the back of your pants earlier.
- I was wondering what was happening.
- [Stevie] That's the full list of options
that we gave them. - This is a long list.
- [Stevie] Yeah. So overall,
what did the mythical beasts pick
as their number one pizza dipping sauce.
And you're each going to take your guests
and then the winner gets a prize mystery balloon.
- Oh, is that right
- That's just nice.
- Okay.
I've made my choice.
- All right.
- [Stevie] Here we go.
Three, two, one.
- Ranch. - Ranch.
- [Stevie] Oh, I think we only have one prize balloon
for two winners.
(Rhett laughing)
- So yeah, we're right.
Yeah, nothing beats ranch.
- Here it is Link.
You hold the balloon and I'll pop it.
The ranch boys won again.
(background laughter)
- It's hard.
Let me do it.
- I'm scared. No,
- It's my turn now.
- I did it in the beginning. - It's my turn.
- All right let ne hold it. - It's my turn.
- Let me hold it. - [Link] Yeah,
you get to hold it. - You can't do both.
(balloon pops)
Pepperoni.
- Oh.
(background laughter)
One pepperoni.
- Oh, I thought there was more. Sorry I ate it.
(background laughter)
- You didn't even think before you ate it.
- That's what you get for popping.
