- Today we ask the age-old question...
- "Will it spaghetti and meatballs?"
- Let's talk about that.
(theme music)
- Good mythical morning.
- We're wheeling some spaghetti and meatballs today, y'all.
- And a portion of today's episode
is sponsored by Google Domains, but more on that later.
- If we were two animated dogs-
- Okay.
- Sharing a huge plate of spaghetti and meatballs,
being serenaded by a mustachioed Italian man,
we would never attempt to do what we're doing today,
which is change such a perfect dish.
- Right.
But just because two animated dogs
accept traditional spaghetti and meatballs
as the end-all, be-all of pasta dishes,
that doesn't mean that us two,
not-animated dudes have to.
- That's right.
- Can the iconic comfort food be transformed
via wild new ingredients,
into something worthy of a bonafide
(smacking lips) chef's kiss?
(smacking lips)
- [Both] It's time for
"Will it Spaghetti and Meatballs?"
- Just setting the ground rules here.
In order to be a proper spaghetti and meatballs,
you gotta have some kind of sauce.
- Uh-huh.
- Some kind of ball, preferably meat.
And some kind of spaghetti noodle.
- We did "Will it Pasta?" over five years ago.
But there was no Mythical kitchen
to give those guidelines to back then.
- Things have changed.
- So today we are going in on some spaghetti and meatballs,
full kitchen treatment.
- And let's start off in dessert territory with cookies.
We're calling this "Spa-Cookie and Sweetballs."
Josh, what'd you do? - What did you do?
- [Josh] So, we have made a homemade cookie spaghetti,
and then we took cookie dough balls,
and covered those-
- This is cookie dough. - [Josh] In chocolate.
- Oh, my gosh. - [Josh] And then
there is a melted cookie butter sauce
with a little bit of fresh cookie dusting on top.
- So, I'm gonna taste this noodle here.
The noodle actually has cookie dough in it?
- [Josh] That is correct.
- And look at that ball, man.
That meatball- - Woo!
- Is just a dough ball.
You're gonna love that dough ball.
- The sauce is snickerdoodle-y.
- [Josh] Ooh, that's what we were going for.
- Mm.
- So is there any wheat
in this pasta? - You've snickerdoodled 'em.
- [Josh] Did you say "Is there any wheat?"
- Yeah.
- [Josh] Do you think there's no wheat in cookies?
- (laughs) That was a test. - [Josh] Sorry.
I don't know why I'm snippy, I don't know why I'm snippy.
Yes, there's wheat. - That was a test.
- Wow.
Man, I just have a weakness for cookie dough.
If there's a log sitting in my fridge,
I'm gonna go back to that log until it is gone. (sighs)
- But you haven't gone into these balls yet.
- I'm trying to use...
Oh, I did go into the ball.
It is...
Every piece of that is absolutely freaking amazing.
- [Rhett] Oh, man.
- This is the type of thing,
this puts a dessert pizza to shame.
All you gotta do is bring this thing out
at the end of a meal with friends.
Everybody gets an entire cookie dough ball,
and then scoops up some of this, some of these...
Some of the noods.
Oh, man.
- I might actually have a meal with enemies.
This would be a great way to poison somebody.
You know?
Because it's- (laughs)
- 'Cause you can't resist it?
- Because it's so irresistible.
- All right.
Will it poison somebody?
- Ye- - Is not what this is.
- Okay.
- [Both] Cookies.
- [Rhett] Will it spaghetti and meatballs?
- [Both] Yes. (jazz music)
- Before we try the next unique take
on spaghetti and meatballs,
this portion of today's episode
is sponsored by Google Domains.
- Google Domains is your one-stop shop
when you're starting to build your brand.
- Yeah because, to have a website,
you need both a domain name and a website.
People often forget that.
- Right, yeah.
It'd be like if we secured the domain Mythical.com,
but then we forgot to build a super-cool website
where all of your internet dreams become reality.
- Well luckily, Google Domains
makes the website-building process super easy,
even if you're not super tech savvy,
like two certain dudes who may have secured a domain name,
but then forgot to build their super-cool website.
- And luckily for those two dudes,
using Google Domains was super easy.
It had lots of helpful features.
And Google Domains works well with the Google platforms
we, I mean, they- - Uh-huh.
- Already use, like Gmail and Google Analytics.
- What do you think those two dudes
appreciated most about Google Domains?
- If I had to guess,
probably the fact that it's simple to use.
There's no coding involved. - Ah.
- And their low-cost, transparent pricing.
- I would say those are all very good guesses, Link.
- Mm-hmm.
- I would also say that Google Domains
makes it easy to look professional,
even when you're, again, not super tech savvy.
- If you wanna grow your brand,
claim your domain name with Google Domains
starting at 12 bucks a year.

- Thanks again to Google Domains
for sponsoring this portion of today's episode.
- All right,
let's see the next spaghetti and meatball creation.
- Okay, we're getting trendy, y'all.
I don't know about your town, but Nashville hot chicken
is popping up all over the place around here.
- Mm-hmm.
- But we wanna take it straight to Sicily.
Introducing, boot-scootin' s'ghetti. (laughs)
Is this what we think it is, Josh?
- [Josh] It sure is. - Now to you,
it may just look like s'ghetti.
But to us here- - It smells way different.
- Whenever we need to celebrate in my home,
especially when the boys are involved,
I'm like, (snaps)
"You wanna order some hot chicken to our doorstep?"
- What kind of little victories in life
are you celebrating lately?
- Just the little victories, like getting an A on a test.
- Uh-huh.
- Sometimes I like to celebrate getting a B on a test
so that my kids don't turn out
to be the perfectionist that I am.
- It's okay to be average, okay.
- The scent is on point.
- Is this a chicken meatball?
- [Josh] That is a chicken meatball.
It's a chicken meatball
that we have then double-dredged in chicken fry,
and then soaked in that Nashville hot grease,
dusted with the Nashville hot powder.
We got spaghetti with a comeback tomato sauce,
so it's got the mayonnaise in there-
- Oh, gosh.
- [Josh] And some chopped pickles as well.
- There's pickles in the meatball too.
It looks- - [Josh] Is there?
