- Today we ask the age-old question.
- Will it cheeseburger?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Summer.
- Today, we're gonna explore
brand new cheeseburger creations
in ways never before explored.
- And a portion of today's episode is sponsored by Chime,
but more on that later.
- And if you haven't been keeping track,
this just so happens to be
the 1998th episode of Good Mythical Morning,
and that means that this Friday
will be our big 2000th episode celebration.
Can you believe it? - 2000.
Yeah, I can, 'cause I've been counting, but,
we want you to join us this Friday for GMM2K.
It's a celebration you don't wanna miss,
there's gonna be montages, there's gonna be fancy food,
maybe even a few surprises,
so join us for a party that's almost 10 years in the making!
- This Friday.
All right, speaking of GMM history,
you may remember that Mythical Chef Josh, hey.
- [Josh] Hey, what's up, Link?
- Nothing.
- [Josh] Yeah. Chilling.
- His GMM debut was on May 27th, 2016.
You remember that?
- [Josh] I do.
- Hey. - [Josh] Hi.
- It was a little episode called "Will it Burger?"
And now that he's got a whole lot of "Will its"
under his belt, we felt that it was time.
We think that our master chef boy is now a master chef man.
- Yes.
- So we think he's ready to tackle the next level in beef.
I'm talking about cheeseburger.
- I mean, maybe it's kind of the same level,
but this level has cheese on it.
- Yeah.
- But also so much more.
It's time for...
- [Both] "Will it Cheeseburger?"
- So right, we've done "Will it Burger,"
but anybody who's ever accidentally ordered a hamburger
when they actually wanted a cheeseburger,
and then got a cheeseless cheeseburger knows
that the two things are very different.
Would you agree, Josh?
- [Josh] I do agree, Rhett, thank you.
- Yeah, see, and he's a chef, he knows.
- I also agree.
- Link's not a chef, he knows.
- All right, so, for our first creation,
when you think of the words "all-American,"
maybe you think of cheeseburgers,
or maybe you think of apple pie,
but why can't you think of both?
Presenting, the American dish
that is the most American dish possible,
the American Dream Burger.
- [Rhett] Look at this, we have got two apple pies?
Josh, how did this happen?
- [Josh] Yeah, we made whole apple pies
the buns of the burger.
- [Link] Okay, well, before I throw this on there,
what else did you do?
- [Josh] So we took a 100% beef patty,
didn't skimp on any ingredients there,
and then we actually simmered that in the liquid runoff
from an apple pie to create a glaze.
We candied bacon in cinnamon and sugar,
and we have just some lightly buttered simmered apples
on there for garnish.
White American cheese, sprinkled with cinnamon.
- White American cheese.
Now is there any bald eagle in it?
- [Josh] No, we, unfortunately our bald eagle guy
is at Aruba on vacation.
He's having a great time. - Oh.
I mean, this has got "4th of July festival"
written all over it, but... - Too late!
- How easy, it looks pretty easy to pick up, but...
- Feel how soft the bottom of these pies feels.
This is gonna come apart.
I'm just gonna let you know,
if you're triggered
by things coming apart in people's hands,
it's about to happen.
- I'm trying to figure out how do I get to the burger.
- I'm getting bacon, apple, and two pies, and cheese,
all in one bite, but it's gonna come apart, here we go.
- I've found burger. Oh, gosh.
- Feel like I'm having to wait a little too long on this.
- Well, I'm just telling you- - [Josh] Cradle it.
Like a newborn's skull,
cradle it. - It's not cohesive.
- Oh my gosh. Oh.
I wish I could communicate directly with your brain.
I wish what my mouth was experiencing
could go into your brain.
That's what I'm trying to say right now.
- I love what is going into my mouth, and into my brain,
but I don't love what's happening to my hands.
- Or your face.
And look at my face. And I got a beard.
I can't feel it, but I think there's something on there.
- It's the same color as your beard, so it's hard to see,
so no one would know, but...
- [Josh] I keep a wet towel in my pants when I'm over here.
Do you want it?
- Is it the front or the back?
Don't think it matters, actually.
- [Josh] Kind of the side.
- Oh, side? Yeah.
- [Josh] Thanks.
- Josh, I don't want to bypass this, I mean,
there's a few times on this show
where I feel like you've reached a culinary peak,
and this is one of them.
This is like the top of,
what's the tallest mountain in America?
Mount Mitchell, what is it?
- Everest, man.
- [Josh] I believe Mount McKinley.
But Mount Whitney is the tallest in the continental US.
- It's very soggy.
Hm.
- That's a good pie. That's a good burger.
That's good cheese. That's good bacon.
Everything comes together, I'm having a great time,
I'm a proud American.
- Trevor's laughing to the point
where I think Josh was serious,
was this really in your pants?
- [Josh] Yeah. I don't know why I would lie about that.
'Cause yeah, we had a long discussion about the pants towel,
'cause I keep a wet and a dry,
here's the dry one, you can see where it is.
- Yep, yep yep yep yep.
- [Link] Apple pie, will it cheeseburger?
- [Both] Yes!
- Before we lay our eyes on our next cheeseburger creation,
this portion of today's episode is sponsored by Chime,
an award-winning financial app
that lets you feel good about your money,
without stressing over all those hidden service fees
you find at traditional financial institutions.
- I hate hidden service fees.
The only thing that should stay hidden is Rhett's chin,
or lack thereof,
and my very irrational fear of bighorned sheep.
I don't trust 'em, and I don't wanna talk about it.
- Okay, I'm not gonna ask you about it.
- Good.
- Chime offers live customer support whenever you need it,
from a live agent or through their in-app chat.
- And with Chime, your money is safe and it's sound.
It uses two factor authentication,
plus the app supports Touch ID and Face ID,
so good luck trying to get into my account, bighorned sheep.
- And on top of that, if your card goes missing,
or you notice charges that aren't yours,
you can block your card in a single tap.
All that is especially easy,
considering the fact that Chime
gives you instant transaction alerts
and daily balance updates.
- I also like that Chime uses SpotMe,
which is a fee-free overdraft protection
on up to $200 in debit purchases for eligible members,
and Chime offers early pay day,
where you can get your paycheck
up to two days early with direct deposit.
- And then make your money work harder for you
with Chime's optional savings account
after opening your Chime spending account,
it's like putting your savings on auto-pilot.
- Check out the link in the description below
to learn more about Chime.
- Thanks again to Chime
for sponsoring this portion of today's episode.
- Okay, let's unveil our next cheeseburger creation.
- Now I don't have to tell y'all how much I love cheese,
in fact my inability to produce it directly from my own body
is one of the only regrets I have in life, so,
what would it be like if we leaned all the way in
and took the cheese in cheeseburgers to the max?
Introducing, the Cheese Cheeseburger.
- [Link] Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] Well we have 11 total cheeses
that have been infused throughout the whole situation,
we have a three cheese burger patty
with Gouda, blue, and cheddar,
we have simply slathered lettuce in a cheese sauce,
we have sea ketchup,
we have herb cream cheese stuffed fried pickles,
we have made a frankencheese out of our favorite cheeses,
Monterey Jack, Muenster, American, and Oaxaca,
that is all on a provolone, Parmesan,
and cheddar crusted bun.
- So you didn't just make everything out of cheese,
you cheesified everything
that would typically be on a burger,
or a lot of the things that would be on a burger.
- [Josh] We infused, we wrapped around, we emulsified,
we did it all.
- [Rhett] Just look at the cheese, just on the top.
- I mean, I bit a little bit of this cheesified
deep fried pickle, and that is nice.
- [Rhett] I'm gonna get a full bite.
- This is like just eating a charcuterie board.
- Without the board.
- I wouldn't wanna eat the board.
- That cheese leather on top.
- [Link] I likey. Woo, it's cheesy.
- Josh, this is amazing.
For a second, I began to think that maybe you had
disrupted the delicate balance between cheese and burger
that exists on a cheeseburger,
and that the cheeseburger gods might smite you.
But I took two bites, the gods have not smitten you.
- [Josh] I have not been smoten.
- Because the meat is still a nice balance.
- [Rhett] It might be too much for some people.
- Would it be the only cheeseburger I'd ever want,
if this is the only cheeseburger I could have, no.
- In what weird universe would that be?
- The same one where you make cheese from your body.
- Oh, okay.
- By the way, where would it come out?
- Nipples.
- Of course.
Cheese, will it cheeseburger?
- [Both] Yes.
- They are few and far between,
but if you were lucky enough
to get a gummy cheeseburger in your Halloween haul,
you were most likely the object
of much jealousy in your elementary school.
At least that's what the younger members of the crew
tell me, Rhett.
But this is just candy.
And we wanted to know, how would true cheeseburger flavors
hold up in gummy form?
Presenting, the Jiggle Burger.
- [Rhett] Josh, how did you make it jiggle?
- [Josh] That's more a product of the gummy
than the product of myself,
but we infused literally every part of the burger
with gummies,
so it's a gummy bun, there's a gummy burger patty,
gummy cheese, gummy tomato, gummy pickle,
and it all should taste like the actual ingredients.
- So that's the biggest difference here.
And now, as a gummy aficianado,
which I am easily taken with a form of gummy,
you can put it in anything and I just eat it, right?
- I have the palate of a child,
so I feel like I still, out of principle,
need to remove this, but maybe I'll eat it later.
- Yeah maybe try it by itself.
- [Josh] We had a bet whether or not you'd do that,
I just won five bucks.
- Are the sesame seeds gummy? - Do I get a cut?
- [Josh] No, no, those are normal ones.
They kinda just grow from the ground.
- [Rhett] And it's translucent,
I can see your fingers. - It's all translucent, yeah.
I mean, this is definitely dinkable.
Dink it.
- Oh, this has boiyoing.
- Boink, boink, boink. And sink it.
Oh, god. It's tough.
I thought it was gonna be easier to bite through.
- I don't know what part I hate the most.
- [Josh] Go on.
- Oh my goodness.
This is so weird, 'cause you're...
- [Rhett] The consistency without the sweet candy taste?
- It really throws you.
- I'm gonna isolate the pickle.
- It's salty. I gotta swallow this first.
- That's shockingly strong.
- It's like swallowing a whole bunch of pills.
- [Josh] Thank you.
- Is that the best compliment you've ever received?
- [Josh] Sure is.
- What's the really salty thing? The beef?
- [Josh] Yeah, that's the beef,
there's meat extract in there.
- On their own,
you can wrap your brain around it a little bit.
- [Link] Like the beef is kinda peppery.
The pickle is good.
- [Josh] Hey. Thanks.
- There's a positive.
- [Josh] We got one.
- Pickle's good, yeah.
Pickle good, yes.
- I mean, you could simultaneously
charge a whole lot of money
of unsuspecting patrons for this, once.
- Yeah, sit back and laugh at 'em.
- And then just run for the hills with your cash,
'cause there would be no repeat customers.
- Elegant effort.
- [Josh] Thank you.
- [Link] Gummy. Will it cheeseburger?
- [Both] No.
- Now of course, you all know, I do all my own stunts,
and in order to do those stunts, you gotta be strong,
which is why I'm always looking
for the next great source of protein.
Maybe a cheeseburger made of eggs
is the holy grail of protein.
Presenting, the Getting Yolked...
- Oh, we're getting yoked!
- Cheeseburger.
Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] And you're like the Jackie Chan
of guys who eat food on the internet.
So we took hard boiled eggs and chopped 'em up,
we infused that into the beef patty,
put a disc of quail eggs on top.
- [Link] I see that disc.
- [Josh] We have infused the roe,
the eggs of three different fishes,
that's sturgeon, that's trout, that's salmon,
into the cheese,
and we have encased all of the condiments into an omelet.
Oh, and a duck egg ketchup.
- [Rhett] Why does the outside
look like a bird crapped on it?
- [Josh] That's a bun covered in powdered egg white.
- Oh, look, I pressed down on that...
- [Link] I didn't know there would be fish eggs.
- Link, look at that.
You're gonna love that, I know you love a runny egg.
- Well, yeah, that's the thing,
I know people put eggs on burgers,
like a fancier burger joint, that like-
- [Rhett] Yeah, like one step up.
- And I was this close to ordering an egg, but then like,
can you scramble it?
- "No, sir, we're not going to do that."
- But I just knew that wouldn't go over well, so...
This is scarier than that.
- How many eggs do you think are in here, just an estimate?
- [Josh] Probably about 70, 80.
- Maybe it's good, though.
- Maybe it's good. Only one way to find out.
You know, Josh, I know you like to work out.
- [Josh] Yeah.
- And I know you're always enjoying protein.
- [Josh] Thank you.
- And sometimes you just gotta get the protein down,
you know?
Sometimes that smoothie in the morning
isn't about enjoying it,
it's about what it's doing for your body.
- [Josh] Yeah.
- That's how I feel about what you created here.
- [Josh] They call it dry scooping,
you just well up spit in your mouth
and you put the protein powder in,
you make a shake in your mouth.
- Yeah.
- That's not making this better.
- This is the burger equivalent of a dry scoop.
- [Josh] Yeah.
- So I like what this might do for me,
but I don't like what it's doing for my mouth.
- Yeah, I'm really having
a hard time with this. - I think I'm just gonna
set it down and act like it never happened.
- [Link] Eggs, will it cheeseburger?
- [Both] No.
- The people of Iceland are known for many things,
including smoked fish and being confused with Greenland,
but I don't think they're known for their burgers.
- No.
- Until today.
Presenting, the Outlandish Icelandic Cheeseburger.
- [Rhett] Josh, what did you do, in Icelandic?
I don't know the language, so.
(Josh speaks Icelandic)
- [Josh] No, so we made a smoked haddock burger,
there is fish jerky on there, we have cod-smoked pickles,
a little bit of Icelandic Gouda,
there is a skyrcret sauce,
that's a secret sauce
made with Icelandic cheese called skyr.
On top of there we have a little bit of ketchup and pickles.
That's a ringing endorsement. - Link's gonna love it.
- [Josh] The bread is very special,
it's called Hverabrauo,
and that is a Icelandic thunder bread
that is actually steam cooked in a geothermal geyser.
We couldn't find an Icelandic geyser,
so we did it under the trunk of Trevor's car.
Got a broken radiator.
- Oh. Sorry, Trevor.
But thank you.
- The radiator's in the trunk?
- Yeah, there's more than a few problems with Trevor's car.
- I'm trying to acclimate myself to the scent,
so that I have a chance of ingesting this thing.
- It smells strong.
- On a scale of one to grocery store sushi,
I'd say this is a...
I mean I'm definitely in the deli section.
- It has a fishy aroma.
- You think?
- But just give it a chance,
put it in your mouth and give it a chance.
- I mean, they cook stuff in geysers?
- [Josh] Yeah.
- I'm going, man. I'm going.
Silaine, I'ma visit your family.
- [Silaine] Sounds good.
- Tell 'em we're coming.
- Actually, don't tell 'em we're coming.
- It'll be a surprise!
We'll pop right out of a geyser.
- Are you not scared?
(Link moans)
- It's actually not that bad.
It's definitely not that bad.
- [Josh] Now Link's a geyser.
- I mean it's fishy.
- I just don't like it.
I'm just not in a good place for this right now.
- I mean I don't wanna take another bite.
- I just don't have the fight in me.
Like I feel like I have to fight.
Like...
- There's a part of me that wants to go
and throw it in that volcano.
What's the name of the volcano,
the one that sounds like somebody's choking on a cracker?
- I don't know.
- The one that erupted back in Iceland,
it's like (gurgles). - [Link] Krakatoa.
- Yeah, I gotta say... (Link speaks mock Icelandic)
I think that the people of Iceland would love this,
but unfortunately,
we only have someone whose family is from Iceland,
and Silaine, I'm not gonna do that to you.
I'm not gonna make you come and try this.
But I know you would like it.
Now, it would be difficult to enjoy it
when Link is doing this.
But I pretty much have, that's my job,
is to try to enjoy things while Link is doing this.
- You know, Matthew, graphics extraordinaire-
- He went to Iceland.
- And he broke his ankle.
- Broke his ankle, happens every time.
- And, like, I couldn't survive that,
couldn't survive this.
- For the people of Iceland.
- [Link] Will it cheeseburger?
- [Both] Nay.
- But we still admire you, and your geyser stuff.
- Yeah.
You're doing good things for the world
with your geothermals.
