Today we ask the age-old question:
- Will it churro? - Let's talk about that.
( music playing )
Good Mythical morning!
Today is the season finale
of "Good Mythical Morning."
Spoiler alert: nobody dies.

so it's a communal experience of watching.
If you wanna keep your daily routine going,
just make sure you follow us for that.
And now, let's end this season and swing into Cinco de Mayo
on a long, sweet, and crispy note.
It's time for...
The typical churro is made is made by extruding dough
- through a churrería tool... - Oh, yes.
...to create that signature star-shaped cross section.
Then it's fried until it becomes crunchy,
and sprinkled with magic cinnamon sugar dust.
Today we're gonna be pushing the limits of the churro
by pushing unexpected stuff
through our churrería tool.
All right, first up we wanted to start with cereal,
and we wanted to go with a cl-- colorful option,
- or a "clolorful" option. - I know what you mean.
So it is our pleasure to present to you
the Froot Loops churro.
And we've got some milk here for dipping
'cause you always want a dipping option
to go along with your churro.
Okay, so there's Froot Loops mixed into this and then--
Yeah, like, diced up.
It's made part of the dusting on the outside as well.
So it's Froot Loops in the dough and then Froot Loops "sprinklies"...
- Oh, yeah. - ...on the outside.
Are you dipping, definitely?
Definitely.
- Dennis? - Call me Dennis.
Dennis, are you definitely dipping?
I'm definitely dipping, Don.
Dude.
Can I call you Don?
It's delightful.
Dink it. Sink it.
It's dense.
I mean...
you can imagine what this tastes like.
The fruitiness comes through after you start chewing.
That's like a horrible food show host.
"You can imagine what this tastes like."
And then they just keep eating it.
Guy Fieri wouldn't have made it if he talked like that.
- Neither will you if you keep it up. - Right.
- Uh, I don't-- - You've double dipped,
- which is a vote of confidence. - The first person to double dip
is the winner.
It's really good. I'm trying--
This is breakfast waiting to be revolutionized, people.
I'm pretty dang excited.
There's no doubt that it works.
I'm trying to think,
is a churro by itself better than this
and Froot Loops by itself better than this?
That's not really the question that we're answering.
It is not.
Will it churro?
( together )
Okay, we've already established on this show
that the corn dog is one of nature's perfect foods.
Let's see if it can mate with a churro.
We call this one the churro dog.
Is that how we made this, through a mating process?
Yeah. We just left a corn dog and a churro in a room
And said, "We'll give you some privacy."
Dimmed the lights and played some Barry White,
and next thing you know we have this.
Actually what we did
is blended corn dogs into the batter
a 3-to-1 dog-to-corn-dog-skin ratio,
and then the dusting actually has some mustard and ketchup powdered sugar,
which is just powdered, uh, what do you call that stuff?
Tomato powder, vinegar powder,
dry mustard and sugar on the outside,
and we're gonna dip it in mustard.
I've got the mustard here.
Hm, churro dog. I call it the "chog."
Ooh, the chog is moist inside.
Yeah, I think I wanna go-- I think I wanna start on the--
And that is not...
Appetizing to you?
...terribly appetizing.
Well, it's got a wiener quality to it.
- You know, if-- - It smells good.
If you were to pop open a hot dog,
this is the kind of thing you'd see on the inside.
So just going to get a little bit of some mustard, not too much.
You don't want too much mustard.
Don't wanna overpower it.
- And dink it. - Give me a little bit of your mustard.
- Oh, wow. - It's like a corn dog
without the consistency of a corn dog.
It's like a soft corn dog.
- How in the world? - It's got all of the taste.
- Can I doub-- can I? Yep. - Yeah, sure.
Thank you, Dennis.
Go for it, Don.
- Um... - Oh, man.
And the mustard's the perfect complement to it.
With the ketchup powder on it,
it's very magical.
And it's good for old people who don't wanna chew.
Old people who don't chew.
Like, set your dentures aside
and just go off on a chog.
It's really, really, really good
because sometimes you don't want the self-conscious feeling
that comes with eating a corn dog, you know what I'm saying?
- Lots of memes can be created while you're-- - Oh, okay.
Lots of things can go wrong.
But if you want the sensation of eating a corn dog,
and no one knows you're eating a corn dog,
well, the chog is for you.
If you can't tell we're fans,
for different reasons--
Corn dog, will it churro?
-
If you look at the price of college these days, your head will explode,
and while your head's exploding, you will begin to realize
why students live exclusively on ramen noodles.
But all students need a little churro in their lives,
so I am hoping this works.
The ramen noodle soup churro,
or the "chur-ramen," as we are calling it.
- Here it is. - Ooh, it's complex.
Yeah, we have fried some finely chopped ramen,
and then hollowed out the center
with a boba straw
and injected it with gelatinized pork broth.
( chuckles ) Yeah, we have.
Then we fried a seal on the ends
to keep the pork broth in there,
and then we dusted it
with some more ramen seasoning packets?
Your churro's leaking a little bit.
And some MSG.
Don't look at my leaking churro, Don.
Okay. Never look directly at a leaking churro.
- Okay. - Always make eye contact.
It's warm. It's radiating...
- Pork? - Pork goodness.
Wow, it's very salty
with all of that seasoning on the inside.
- Yeah, but... so is ramen. - Mm-hmm.
Ramen kind of makes you wanna go...
I need some water.
I have a little water here.
You definitely need that.
Yeah. Yeah.
College kids, stay hydrated.
Um, so yeah, once--
Ooh, it packs quite a salty punch.
Like, my eyes won't even open.
My eyes are trying to keep the moisture that's in them in it.
Something about-- whoa!
You're doing it, too. Your eyes can't open.
Something about the way that it all concentrated down...
got a little too salty.
Yeah.
I don't know if we're gonna make it past this.
We're gonna shrivel up.
We're just gonna prunize right now.
But at the same time...
There's a lot to love?
It tastes exactly like a bowl of ramen noodles, man.
I'm back in the dorm room.
Yeah, but I think the thing that ramen needs,
it needs to be in the presence of soup.
- Yeah. - It needs to be in liquid
so that you don't realize the damage
that you're doing to your kidneys.
If you floated this log in broth,
well, that would be odd.
And I think that's how-- that's the only way to rescue
this churramen.
So ramen noodles, will it churro?
( together )
Now, one time I looked under an elk
and thought I saw a churro,
Turns out it was just the elk's penis,
but it did raise a very valid question,
a question that can only be answered
by eating a churro made from an elk's penis.
- And here it is. - Okay.
Here it is. Look at that.
Now, it's not just fried elk penis.
I mean, we churro-ized it, right?
Yeah, we boiled the penis for safety,
finely chopped it into a flour and egg batter,
mixed it with some rustic penis chunks...
We just lost a whole elk demo
of our viewing population.
Yeah, all the elks are like, "Come on, man!"
I'm sorry, elks.
We had to do it.
It's instinct.
Ooh, it's very taut.
Sometimes an elk penis churro bends up.
Sometimes it bends down. Sometimes it bends sideways.
Sometimes it's straight.
- Points straight. - Yeah.
- ( laughter ) - Okay. I see the chunks on the outside.
- Um... - Is there a dipping sauce for it?
Ranch dressing with sprinkles of hay, I believe.
Yeah, thank you for that.
There it is. We're gonna need all the hay we can get.
Okay?
- Hm, it's very dark. - I'm gonna get...
- more ranch and less hay. - Dark chunks.
I'm gonna get some hay. I want a little bit of hay.
I don't think penis is quite enough for me.
I wanna be able to actually get some of it down.
I like hay.
Oh, I got a rustic penis chunk.
Oh, my gosh, the chunks are tooth impenetrable.
Well, elk's really...
( gags )
It's nasty tasting.
Elks are very stout.
It tastes gross.
The chunks are like marbles.
It's literally like a petrified--
- Yeah. - Well, it's like a stump.
Yeah. They should make some sort of fabric out of elk penis
and give it to the military.
You know? "The new Gore-Tex. Elk-Tex."
Well, "Elk Penis-Tex."
Oh, gosh, I keep finding new rustic chunks.
I know. You will break your teeth off trying to get through this penis.
( laughter )
I mean, it's dangerous.
Um, there's no way I can get it down.
You sure it's not the hay?
No, look at that.
It's a-- it's a little--
it's a little chunk, and it tastes nasty.
Now that I've gotten down just to the penis part...
It's penis pellets, really.
It's not good, man.
Yeah, I don't think we're rocking anybody's boat.
Even the elks are on board at this point.
They're like, ( deep voice ) "Yeah, coulda told you.
You should've asked."
I don't know why elks talk like this.
Elk penis.
Will it churro?
- Rhett:
Normally we would end things on a penis.
- Yeah. - But today there's something worse, apparently.
Yeah, remember when you were a kid,
and if you said a bad word,
your mom would wash your mouth out with churros?
Well, that was a weirdly specific thing just to your mom
- 'cause they usually say "soap." - Right.
So today we're using actual soap
for the creation of the Irish Spring churro.
That's right. We have taken Irish Spring soap.
We've blended it up with milk and eggs
and then churro-fied it.
And then sprinkled some more Irish Spring on top.
And, interesting note
for those of you
with culinary interests...
Soap is a leavening agent, I hear.
Josh just told us that soap is a leavening agent.
This is fluffy
because it rose a little bit when they put the soap
- in there with the milk and eggs. - And smell it.
Smell that. It smells so fresh.
It kind of smells like you taking a shower
after you've been at the fair.
- Yeah. - You know what I'm saying?
You can still smell the fried stuff
that wafted onto you for the day, but then you're--
It takes, like, three showers to really get it off.
This is like one shower, one post-share-- fair shower.
It also smells like if you tried to give a churro a bath.
Right, which I have.
I wanna see a cross section of this thing.
Oh, my gosh, it's gooey
and bluey.
Look at that. Look down the double barrel of a soap churro.
Let's get a good healthy bite.
The Irish Spurro or the Churrosh Spring.
You got any more?
N-No.
- Oh, my... - Wow.
If you-- I just started chewing,
and then I breathed in,
and I feel like I'm gonna die.
Like it's hard to--
- How does it get-- - ...it's hard to breathe.
How does the Irish Spring penetrate--
probably not the best word--
How does it fill the enti--
it just tastes like I've got soap in my mouth.
- I can't taste anything else. - Everywhere.
I know. And don't drink water. It's gonna suds it up.
You know what? Scratch that.
Why don't you drink some water?
No.
I think, if you drink water and swish it around,
it'll make suds.
Well, let's find out.
Mm-mm.
I can't even hit my mug.
It just made cloudy water.
Ugh...
Ugh, why'd I spit in my own mug?
And why did I do it after I saw you do it?
This is horrible, guys.
You know, maybe it's the second bite that'll be good.
Is it any better?
No.
I gotta say, though,
if you're gonna punish your children in that way...
- You might as well have-- - put it in a churro, you know?
Let 'em have a little fun
with some churros at the same time?
Or, instead of pinning them down
and washing their mouth out with soap,
you could just-- once you hear them curse,
then you let it slide,
and then you say, "We got treats."
And then when they got it in their mouth, you say,
"That's 'cause you cursed."
And then you curse at 'em because adults are allowed to.
Right. ( chuckles )
So Irish Spring soap-- will it churro?
( together )
Sadly, no.
Okay, if you like these churros,
we'll be eating one more, a Pringles churro
to get this Irish Spring taste out of our mouth
in "Good Mythical More."
And click on through
because we're gonna see if we can guess
what Mike and Alex have destroyed this time.
