- You ever tasted a spicy lemon?
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle, upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- My eyes have been opened.
I see the truth.
Spice is everywhere.
There's Old Spice, pumpkin spice lattes,
and the Spice Girls are still around.
- That's it?
That's all the spice?
- You know what you don't see everywhere?
The word sour.
Makes you wonder who your favorite sour girl might be.
- Ginger sour. (laughing)
It's like candy with a flavor of ginger,
but with a sour twist instead of the heat.
- To that point, it's time for spicy foods sour
versus sour foods spicy.
Which tastes great and which not so nicey?
A few weeks ago, we posted a series of spicy-fied sour food
versus soured up spicy food match-ups
and then you voted on which ones that you thought
we would like better.
By the way, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram
because that's how you can be an active part
of this show.
- You need to be on your phone more.
- And responding to these prompts.
- Yes.
- Now, we're gonna find out if you were right
by trying those foods, as created by the Mythical Kitchen.
- Now listen, last time y'all Mythical Beasties
lost this game because we play this game pretty often.
So we hope that you brought your spicy sour A game
this time around because there's a lot at stake.
You gotta get three of these right, okay?
And if you do, we're gonna record
some exclusive shower thoughts
for you to listen to while you take a shower.
Think about that for a second.
That was the second. - Okay.
- If you don't get three right,
you know what we're gonna do?
We're gonna pose with a dirty mop on Instagram
and you have to comment under it with, "That's a mop.
We're a flop."
You'll feel so stupid about yourself, if that happens.
- Show me the sour spicy.
(whooshing) (upbeat music)
- If you were under the impression
that the well has run dry on chips and Cheetos ideas
for this show, you are wrong, my friends!
(laughing)
Today, we're taking our favorite potato chips,
AKA sour cream and onion,
and we're flipping them into spicy cream and onion chips.
- [Link] Yeah, right there.
- And instead of flaming hot Cheetos,
we got pucker and pickle sour Cheetos.
- That pucker and pickle! - The well is so deep!
- All right, let's go.
- The well of ideas.
It's so deep, you can't!
You drop a coin into the well of ideas for this show.
No one's heard it hit the bottom yet.
It's still dropping.
- Spicy cream and onion.
(chips crunching)
Hmm.
Not too spicy, thank you.
- [Nicole] You're welcome.
- Unless it's gonna grow on me.
- [Nicole] You let me know.
- Oh, it is going to grow on you.
I was about to go in for a second one
and then I was like, okay.
All right.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's good!
I love it. - It's growing.
It's spicy.
- Man, I love that.
- [Link] But still creamy.
- [Rhett] It is creamy.
- And now, oh.
Maybe we should have started with the pucker and pickle,
to get sour.
- I like the fact that it is green.
(chips crunching)
That's good, too.
- Woo!
Oh my goodness.
- Man, both of these are really good.
- (coughing) Are you not experiencing the sour, dude?
It's so sour, man.
- I like it.
I mean, I like sour patch kids.
- Ah!
- [Rhett] You don't like it.
- I mean, I usually don't like the spicy stuff as much,
but a Cheeto with sour is just taking a savory thing
and going that way for this.
- I like them, but I love these.
- I'm interested to see if anything sour-fied
is gonna work because it just seems like spicy
is what I'm voting for.
- I'm gonna stand up for the sour,
at some point, if you don't.
- Not on round one, though.
- These are better than that, but I like both of them.
- We liked this.
What did you predict?
- [Stevie] 83% of the Mythical Beast thought you would like
the spicy cream and onion chips better.
(bell dinging)
- Okay, yeah.
I mean, this- - This is good.
This could be sold right now.
- Yeah, but this can not be sold, man.
It's nasty.
- I'd buy it.
(whooshing) (upbeat music)
- It might still be a little chilly
for all you non-Angelenos out there,
so we're trying two beverages
that'll definitely warm you up.
First, instead of refreshing lemonade and iced tea
in that combination known as the Arnold Palmer,
we've got the Arnold pepper,
which is, of course, is spice-ified.
And we also have, instead of a regular,
spicy Mexican hot chocolate,
we've got a Mexican sour hot chocolate.
And let's start with this sour.
- Nicole, what would typically make
a Mexican hot chocolate spicy?
And then, what did you swap?
- [Nicole] So, other times, people put a little bit
of arbol chili in there.
I just used lime juice.
- [Link] Okay, so there's lime juice to sour it up.
- [Nicole] Yeah, and it should work with the milk
and kind of thicken it, maybe almost coagulate it.
- That's what I'd say.
It looks like it's curdling.
- [Nicole] Yeah, it might look a little bit like ricotta,
but nothing wrong with that, right?
- I like ricotta.
- [Nicole] Yeah, take a sip.
- [Rhett] Chocolate is so strong.
So let me just mix it up a little bit better here.
- It's, I would call it tangy.
- Oh, oh! (stammering)
- [Link] You get that tang.
- When you don't stir it.
- [Link] Okay, yeah.
- All you taste is chocolate,
but yeah, the lime is really coming through.
- Hmm, but it's nice!
- It's not bad.
- The consistency, it starts to feel like
it's trying to make pudding.
- It tastes like a chocolate key lime pie.
(background laughing)
- I've never had that.
- I haven't, either, but now I'm thinking
maybe that should be a thing.
A chocolate key lime pie.
- You ever see that?
- [Nicole] Never ever.
- Well, you just invented it.
- You made a chocolate key lime pie in a jar.
- So this is gonna be hard to beat.
Right here.
We've already done it, guys.
I'm enjoying a sour-fied thing.
- So, the spicy Arnold Palmer pepper.
How does this work?
- [Nicole] Yeah, so I just took a sweetened black tea
and then I made my own pepper aide
out of black pepper and chili flakes.
- So no lemonade in this.
- [Nicole] No lemonade.
- It doesn't smell strange.
(clearing throat)
Oh, the black pepper really gives you a wallop.
- It has a very clovey-ness to it, almost,
because of the peppercorn.
- Oh, man.
This is what my nana's breath smells like.
She put pepper on everything!
- Really? - [Link] Yeah.
- Are you mad about it?
- I never haven't been.
Oh, that's-
- I don't wanna keep drinking this,
but I wanna keep drinking this.
- I wanna keep drinking this,
even though, yes, I agree.
This is something.
Chocolate key lime.
- [Rhett] You've invented something.
- But this is, I don't know.
I'm really surprised that I like this.
- I would like it more if it was like a hot pepper
versus a pepper-pepper.
- No, I like the black pepper.
That's why I like it.
- That's why I like it!
- What did you think?
- [Stevie] This one was really close.
52% of the mythical beast that you would like
the Mexican sour hot chocolate better.
- You barely got it.
You're two for two, but let me say,
it's hard to talk after you. (stammering)
(whooshing) (upbeat music)
If you enjoy spicy things, well, you gotta tune in
for the hot takes being downloaded every Wednesday
from top food podcast, A Hot Dog is a Sandwich!
Josh and Nicole, they go at it over there.
They debate.
They explore the internet's mind-boggling food habits
and discuss things like, is Chipotle a overrated?
Are pizza rolls better than bagel bites?
Does soup even exists?
- What?
- They're also a part of the team,
making our favorite internet cooking show, Mythical Kitchen.
So click on over to their channel
to see them create drool-worthy recipes
like the ones you see here on GMM every week.
- Yes, okay.
Now, if you're looking for some flavors that really pop,
this round is for you.
- Pop round!
- Baby Bottle Pops is a little plastic bottle
with the hard candy nipple.
Yeah, I said it, nipple that you lick.
Yeah, I said it, lick.
And then there's shower.
Shower. (laughing)
Shower?
- Shower.
- You're doing so well, I'm already saying shower.
Sour sugar dust in the bottle for dipping that nip.
And apparently, some people, not just babies, love these.
And today, we've got spicy sriracha Baby Bottle Pops
and instead of jalapeno poppers,
we've got sour plum poppers, AKA sour-peno poppers.
- Oh, we're talking- - I'm scared of that.
- Umeboshi plums instead of jalapeno.
- Yes, so it's everything that you would put in a jalapeno,
put into umeboshi plum, which if you are not familiar
with that and haven't watched the show,
these are one of the most sour, natural things
you can put into your mouth.
- It'll make every orifice pucker.
- I feel like these are so sour that you can't start here.
- Yeah.
Let's let's start with the spicy.
Take off the lid here.
- Now, you look and then dip, right, Nicole?
- [Nicole] Yeah, lick the nipple.
- So, what do we dip it into?
- [Nicole] You're dipping into a homemade sriracha powder.
- [Link] I mean, I don't want too much.
- Whoa!
- Whoa, that's sour.
I mean, spicy.
I mean, dang, what do words mean?
It's hot.
(laughing)
- I can get into this.
- It's hot and garlicky.
- I could get into that.
- [Nicole] Sriracha's garlicky.
- Oh, my gosh, yes.
I just have to come to grips with the fact
that I don't like sriracha.
I don't.
Yes, you do.
Everybody does.
No, I don't like it.
- You should be ashamed.
- I have to be honest.
No, don't be honest.
Everyone will judge you.
I have to be honest.
I just don't love it.
- Who are you talking to?
- It's garlicky.
(stammering) That bearded guy next to you
is just gonna make fun of you.
He's gonna belittle you for not liking sriracha.
- No, I'm not.
- You know what, so be it.
- I'm way past that.
- That's who I am.
- Be who you are, Link.
- (coughing) I like black pepper.
Will this counteract what just happened?
- [Rhett] No.
- [Nicole] I can't make any promises.
I'm sorry, Link.
- [Rhett] It's not sweet, so it won't counteract it.
- Oh, umeboshi.
- Gotta go full plum.
- Oh, my gosh.
This is a tough morning.
- The cheese.
(laughing in background)
The cheese actually takes the edge off of the sour.
It doesn't exactly compliment, but it takes the edge off.
- [Stevie] This is not a fun episode
for someone who enjoys very, very bland, plain food.
- Oh you mean like him? (laughing)
- Yeah, this is tough for me.
I don't know if you noticed,
but I'm having like, an internal crisis.
- [Stevie] It's not internal anymore.
- I didn't want to put that in my stomach
because I felt like it would start, it would be prickly.
- I'm genuinely kind of into this.
- [Link] I could see how someone would like that.
Did you predict?
- You don't like either one, but-
- No. - Okay.
- I can understand that.
- [Stevie] 55% of the Mythical Beasts thought
that you would like the sriracha Baby Bottle Pop better.
- There you go.
Now, it's just all about a clean sweep in here.
- You're all doing good.
- So you've won the shower thoughts.
- Shower thoughts, that's gonna be fun.
- But if you get a clean sweep,
the shower thoughts are gonna be extra saucy.
(laughing in background)
(whooshing) (upbeat music)
- Okay, for our final round,
we have a twist on a couple of American classics.
The extra tart lemon merengue pie,
originated in Philly, with a tangy sour lemon custard.
But today, the sour has been stripped away
and replaced with a spicy sweet serrano pepper lemon flavor.
- Oh, and as you may recall,
we once tried Nashville sweet chicken.
We were blown away with how good it was,
but we think we can take that Nashville flavor
a bit further, y'all, so this is Nashville sour chicken,
and I am skeptical.
(laughing)
But hopeful.
- It looks like it has rock candy on it.
- [Nicole] Crushed Warheads, very observantly, Link.
- Crushed Warheads on top of this, Rhett.
Let's go for this second because once you hit into war,
you might not get pie for a while.
- [Rhett] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, look at that.
- That is tall.
- [Rhett] So, what have you done here to make that,
the green part?
- There's lots of meringue, that's for sure.
- So I took some fresh serrano peppers
and blended it up into a curd.
- [Rhett] I think I might like this.
- [Link] Hot pepper pie.
- Because of the meringue and the hotness together.
- Yeah, I'm gonna try to get a good balance
of the two, you know?
So it's not just meringue.
I'm trying to get a good 50-50.
Oh, you're going in?
You're already there?
- Oh, my goodness.
That crust is good.
See, I like a pepper jelly
with a little cream cheese on a cracker.
That's one of my favorite little snacky-snacks.
- Yeah, this is weird, but that does help me understand.
- This could work at a house of pies kind of situation.
- If they ran out of every other pie?
- [Nicole] That's a great compliment.
- [Rhett] It's beautiful, too, by the way.
- [Link] The spicy pie.
- [Nicole] No, you are.
- I mean, it's definitely intriguing and marketable.
I don't like it the least bit.
- [Nicole] You win some, you lose some, I guess.
- Yeah.
You lose a lot, if Link's at the table.
- I don't know why I thought I would enjoy anything
about what's happening today.
Maybe I like this, though.
Get a nice Warheaded area.
- [Rhett] Warheaded.
- The crust is very formidable.
- [Nicole] Okay.
(laughing in background)
- [Rhett] That's not good.
- Break them back out like, umeboshi, remember me?
I feel like my face just wants to turn inside itself.
- Sweet and sour chicken is a thing,
but this is just too much sour.
- [Link] I think I just lost a tooth.
- I kinda want a second bite, but you know what?
I'm not gonna do it.
- I just can't.
I'm gonna eat more pie.
Anything that's that sour, my mouth tells my brain
to not put it in my stomach.
Just like if something's really spicy.
- You must be allergic to sour stuff.
- This isn't too spicy and I liked the marketability of it.
I might take a friend to get this pie, you know?
- I'll go.
- Like an out-of-town friend.
- Oh, okay.
Thanks for nothing.
- Were you right?
- [Stevie] Guys, 68% of the Mythical Beasts thought
that you would like the Nashville sour chicken better.
- Oh, okay.
- It sounds like it might work, maybe.
- You can't win them all.
You know what?
We're still gonna give you some shower thoughts,
but they're not gonna be very saucy.
(laughing in background)
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is.
- My name is Christian.
I'm in the beautiful state of Maryland
eating mango habanero and garlic parmesan
from Buffalo Wild Wings,
watching the Good Mythical More from today
and it's time to spin the wheel of mythicality.
- They're some good flavors, I'll tell you.
- So was he just in-sync with us
and had already ordered those?
- I like to think that, yes.
- I'd like to think that, too.
- Click the top link to find out

- [Nicole] Ketchup as a smoothie.
- [Josh] Yeah, I put ice in my cereal.
So what?
- [Nicole] That makes no sense.
- [Josh] A hot dog is a sandwich.
- [Nicole] A hot dog is a sandwich.
(laughing)
- [Josh] What?
