- Do you know what the worst case scenario tastes like?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat bright music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- And happy birthday, Link.
He's 43 years old today everybody.
- What the crap?
Thank you for that confetti added in post.
That's my favorite kind.
So easy to clean up.
- You know, thank you for being
my best friend for all these years,
and thank you for never seriously injuring me
to the point of me having to go to the hospital.
- Okay, so just mildly injuring you.
- Yeah. Yeah.
I've been poked, I've been prodded.
- You're welcome.
You're welcome.
- But I've never been like severely injured by you,
and, you know, I was thinking about that today
and it means a lot.
- Glad you noticed.
- Okay, and since it's your birthday,
I'm gonna give you a choice.
Would you rather spend your birthday
relaxing on a beach in Thailand
with a nice big stick of corn,
like a baby sized piece of corn?
- Oh, I remember doing something like that.
I do remember.
- Or stay here and play a game where you will very likely
have to eat a series of nasty things?
No tasty Thai corn, no beach.
- I get to choose?
- Yeah, it's your birthday.
- I'll stay here.
- All right. - Such a great place to be.
- It's time for Chews Wisely.
Worst case scenario edition.
- All right, in this game, we're gonna find out
how well we know your preferences.
On our mythical Instagram stories,
we presented you with a series of would you rather questions
and both of the options that you could rather were bad.
So now we're gonna guess which scenario
the majority of you said you would rather endure,
and each option is gonna be represented by a dish of food.
One is gonna be normal, and the other is gonna be
the nastiest worst case scenario of that food.
- Now to make our choices, we're gonna be eating the food
we think corresponds with the correct answer.
And if we pick the wrong dish,
well, we're gonna find out 'cause that's going to be
our own personal worst case scenario.
Let's play.
- Our first choice that we presented to them
was would you rather vomit on a stranger on the bus,
or have a stranger vomit on you?
- Okay, let's see what our choices are.
- Vomit on a stranger. - Deviled eggs
for vomit on a stranger.
And some deviled eggs.
- [Link] Presumably the same deviled eggs.
- [Rhett] For a stranger vomits on you.
- One of 'em has got more of a devil in it.
Now the game is not to try to pick apart the eggs.
We just need to talk about the scenario
and make that choice. - Yeah.
I mean, what about you personally?
It is mortifying to vomit on someone in public.
And if you're like, oh, I can deal
with a little bit of vomit on me.
I'll go handle it.
But making somebody feel that uncomfortable,
we have some very sensitive mythical beasts out there.
I don't think this is as straightforward
as I thought it might be.
- We don't have to choose the same thing.
- No, we don't.
There's two eggs for both of us.
- I'm gonna go with my gut.
- I'm going with my knee jerk, which is vomit on a stranger.
- Oh, you are?
- Yeah.
- Come on, I think you should go with that one
'cause you're right.
They're more sensitive than we are.
- No, but I think it's gonna be very close.
It's gonna be like 52% of you thought
that you'd rather vomit on a stranger.
- Let's put the whole thing in our mouths.
- Yes.
- And then-
- Thank you.
Happy birthday, man.
- It stinks just 'cause it's an egg.
- That's just a deviled egg, y'all.
- [Announcer] Yeah, pretty yummy, huh?
That's because 87 percent of the mythical beasts
said they would rather vomit on a stranger.
- You cold, just heartless people.
Next scenario, would you rather be banned
from all fast food restaurants except Subway,
or banned from all airlines except Spirit?
- So, all right, let's talk a little bit about Spirit.
But first-
- Lets reveal our food choices.
Be banned from subway, you got some Yoohoo
and got some more Yoohoo over there.
One of 'em is bad.
- One of these has been doctored.
- I value eating a lot, and I eat a lot more than I fly.
- Spirit is really cheap, right?
- One flight that I've ever booked on Spirit airlines.
It was a San Francisco to LA flight,
and it got screwed up to the point that we just drove.
I paid for a Spirit airlines flight that I didn't even take.
That's my experience with Spirit.
So I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this.
This would be going with-
- Subways are everywhere.
- You gotta only eat,
you gotta only eat Spirit.
You gotta only fly Spirit, you gotta only eat Subway.
I think I'm going with Spirit, man.
- [Link] There's a lot of places.
- Well, hold on, Spirit doesn't go to a lot of places.
Does Spirit do international?
- Yeah, that's a big...
No, they're very limited.
- Oh, so you couldn't.
You'd have to take a boat international.
(people laughing)
- I don't think people care about Spirit.
- Yeah, I mean, I was totally on Spirit
for like the first minute of this thought process,
and they were just going through
and answering these questions quickly.
So it's gotta be Spirit.
It's gotta be Spirit.
That's just Yoohoo.
- Okay, guys.
- [Announcer] This was super close.
- I mean, I'll give it a little taste
just to know what we missed.
- I won't.
It's not even my birthday.
- What is that? Smoke?
- [Woman] Hot dog water.
- Ugh, dog water. - Smoke.
- Is that just smoke?
- I thought it was
liquid smoke. - 52 percent
of the mythical beasts
said they would rather be banned
from all airlines except Spirit.
I gotta disagree with that.
Man, that sounds terrible.
- How far can you get on Spirit?
Do you know?
- [Announcer] Well, to me it's more, yeah,
you could eat any other food in the...
You could just not eat fast food.
Is that the end of the world?
- It forces you to be healthy.
- [Announcer] I've been on Spirit airlines.
I don't wanna ever go back.
- I agree that the correct choice
is Subway. - It's not an intimate
knowledge of it, but like you said, it was close.
Today I'm celebrating my birthday in two very special ways.
One, the first two episodes of RonStaat,
the new scripted podcast that we're starring in are out now.
So check 'em out on Apple Podcast, Spotify,
or wherever you get your podcast.
Really excited about that.
- Yeah, it's a whole immersive world
that's just taking place in your ears.
But I mean, it's just, we want you to go experience it.
RonStaat, go check out the first episode.
- And second thing I'm excited about,
we got a special Link's birthday sale at mythical.com.
We're offering you up to 30% off
some of my favorite items at mythical.com through June 4th.
So go over there, check it out,
get yourself some of that
birthday discount action, mythical.com.
- All right, what we got?
What we got?
- Okay, Rhett, we asked them,
would you rather watch Danny DeVito lose his virginity, or-
- Yes.
- Or lose your virginity to Danny DeVito?
- Oh God.
Oh, come on.
- We gotta throw him
under the bus either way. - Let's see what we got here.
Oh, appropriately, it's a corn dog.
- [Link] Okay, watch or with?
- I mean, this is too easy. - This seems easy.
Like, I've heard enough about him to know
that I would wanna experience that firsthand.
(people laughing)
- Yeah, he does something with his hips.
- So yeah, I'm thinking I would rather watch.
It's a much lower commitment level.
- But it is still quite a commitment, you know?
- You wanna just, you wanna hedge our bets?
You know, if we're working collectively, it is my birthday.
I think we-
- There's a lot of things I'll give you,
but making my preference
being deflowered by Danny DeVito is not one of them.
So I'm gonna say-
- Yeah, but you can say it's not your answer,
but that's what you think they said
and you can taste one of those.
- No, no, I have more faith in them than that.
- I know.
- If you really want me to eat...
You just want somebody to eat a nasty corn dog.
Listen, we don't know.
We got some freaks out there.
They might be into the idea.
- Corn dog got a wart on it.
They chose correctly, and so did we.
- There's a corn dog.
- [Announcer] Surprisingly, this was closer
than the first question about vomiting
because only 79% of the mythical beasts
said that they would rather watch Danny de DeVito.
- 21% of you dirty Danny DeVito dogs.
- Listen, I mean, he's plenty of people's type, you know?
I don't wanna be mean to Danny DeVito.
- Yeah, I get it the more I think about it.
All right, would you rather always have
a stranger's hair in your food and be aware of it,
or sometimes have a stranger spit in your drink
but be unaware of it?
I don't mind hair in food.
- [Link] So we got-
- [Rhett] Is it like a cronut?
- Spit on your side, hair on my side.
Yeah, I think it would-
- Like, I'm honestly, I'm one of those guys
that if I'm at a restaurant and I see hair in my food,
I pull it out and I keep eating.
Is that weird?
- It depends on how hungry I am and how into the dish I am.
But yeah, I'm willing to-
- Now if it looks like-
- I'm willing to keep eating.
- It could be, you know, from the nether regions.
If it looks like a below the belt hair,
okay, I'll think twice about it.
Depends on how hungry I am.
- [Announcer] Did I tell you about
my Bojangles hair situation?
- Oh, you had a Bojangles hair?
- [Announcer] Oh yeah, and it wasn't even chicken.
It was like a biscuit situation where there's like,
you know, layers to the biscuit.
You know like a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit situation.
- You like pulled the hair and it just kept on coming?
- [Announcer] It was thick, and dark,
and not as long as I wanted it to be.
- Hair always in your food,
and it's a stranger's and you're always aware of it.
Or, you know, sometimes somebody spit on your drink.
- The unknown, it's like is the spit in this drink?
- I would choose the hair.
- I'm trying to figure out would I get
more used to the speculation,
and like maybe there's spit in here,
or there's definitely hair and I'm used to it?
Okay, I just found the hair.
I have to do this every meal.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- It's out now.
- Yeah. Yeah, right.
- And I'm gonna continue eating.
- Spit is like 12 times as gross as hair.
- [Link] But it's-
- Maybe 20 times as gross.
- I gotta know.
- You would adjust to the hair.
That's just part of your life. - You become inoculated to it.
- But the unknown factor of spit in your drinks?
Ah!
- But a lot of people are really grossed out by hair.
- I'm going with hair
because just I feel so strongly about it personally,
and I just hope that you're coming along for the ride.
- I think spit's tasteless like when mixed in a drink.
I'm starting to think there's spit in this.
I'm gonna give it a shot.
- Okay.
Get a big bite.
Don't breathe in, there's powdered sugar on that.
You'll go to a coughing fit.
Okay? Be careful.
- If there's not spit in it, what is in it?
(people laughing)
- That's pretty good.
- What is that, cat food?
- [Woman] Liver cream. Close.
- Ah, just the same.
- And this is just like chocolate.
- I hit myself on the bridge of my nose with the trash can.
- And it's your birthday, man.
I feel bad.
- It is my birthday.
- [Announcer] It was really close.
It was 56% of the mythical beasts
said that they would rather always have
a stranger's hair in their food.
- Get a bite of that for your birthday.
- So where's the hair?
- That's not how it works.
- And for what I presume is the most difficult one of all,
would you rather eat Peeps for every meal
for the rest of your life?
- That's a problem.
- Or never be able to taste food again?
- Oh gosh.
- Oh my gosh.
So, only eat Peeps.
I mean, food is not just taste.
You can still feel the texture.
You can still go out in public
and like eat with other people who are eating things,
and then you can kinda lay low and be like,
what do you think of?
It's like, yeah, it's good.
I like the texture.
- I think these are gonna be Peeps.
Oh no, they're gonna be egg rolls.
Two things about Peeps.
Number one, as we've experienced on this show,
there's multiple flavors of Peeps
but they're all still Peeps.
- Only peeps. - Eating only peeps,
you would die.
I mean, you would just end up dying,
and also eating one thing is basically presumably worse
than eating a bunch of different things and not tasting it.
- Yeah, the social implications of being the Peep eater
are just like too much to handle.
- Yeah, you don't have to let anybody know
that you don't taste something.
If you're in a group, in a group of people,
and something amazing comes out and they're like,
isn't this great?
You're like, oh yes, it's great.
You know, you don't have to be like,
oh, I'm actually the guy that I'm, you know,
I made a choice a long time ago.
- Seems easy.
- It's a magical choice and now I don't taste anything.
- Why preserve your ability to taste things
if the only thing you can taste is a Peep?
- Well, 'cause of the multiple flavors.
That's the only reason.
But I still don't believe in it.
- Yeah, we agree.
This seems easy to us.
Did you agree?
All right, now I think we gotta bite-
- Eat half of it.
- We gotta bite right in the middle.
- Well, I'm gonna eat half of the whole thing.
Just in one bite.
- All right, if you wanna get to the half the long way,
then that's your choice.
- Here we go.
- We were right.
How could we be wrong?
You're smart. - Yeah.
66% of the mythical beasts
said that they would rather
never be able to taste food again.
- Yeah, what did you think of this egg roll?
The texture, huh?
- It's not great, but when you eat half of one
just with one bite, it's better.
You should have tried that.
Happy birthday, Link.
You did lose.
- Thank you.
Yeah, I did.
- But you know what?
We're all winners.
