@@jamesn3122They were initially talking about the steam from the pot with Ben mistaking it for smoke, which is why Josh covered the pot with another pot.
And Dropout! I'm in love with the Mythical Kitchen-Dropout crossover they've got going on. Jordan hosts a food show for Dropout now, and they look SO cute when they dress up for the camera.
This is the first time ive actually seen u in anything exept sonic and bro.. 😂😂 i couldnt stop laughing. Also just got me a katz' pastrami sandwich yesterday ❤ though honestly i prefer carnegie still.
I would love it if this series is not Josh chaotically making 5 pasta dishes with a different celebrity every time, but instead Ben driving a different chef to the point of a breakdown every episode.
Ben immediately turning this is a chaos festival is really on brand and I loved every second. And always happy that he'll name drop Chrono Trigger every time anyone ever talks about video games.
So great too that Ben is officially firmly in the Dropout/Mythical talent rotation now, with this, Last Meals, and his Make Some Noise episode, wonderful news, so on point with the vibes.
It's great but as a fun fact I have to add that Ben's been a staple for Collage humour/Dropout for a looong time. His appearances on Jake and Amir are wild
@@Yurt_enthusiast7 That's true! But unless I've missed him somehow, I don't think I've seen him on any of the dropout as a streaming service game shows before? I would *love* to be corrected on that though if it means watching more Ben content :D
I just want Ben to be a permanent guest on this show and the 3rd member of the Game Grumps. I think we have to keep making Sonic movies forever so this keeps happening.
This is the companion series ‘Last Meals’ needed. Pure, impersonal chaos to balance out the former’s meditative intimacy. I’m fully supportive of this becoming a recurring series.
The tactful yet direct insults at Josh this entire episode really made this one special. Belly laughed so many times! Props to Josh for rolling with the literal barrage of punches thrown his way this episode 👍
I have never seen this much casual chemistry between a host and interviewee, and that is coming from a longtime Hot Ones viewer before I discovered this channel. Also I love Ben's top 5 games, Chrono Trigger and FFVII are great picks and I am excited to see he is a RPG fan from the same generation as me and my bf!
You'd love seeing him on Game Grumps then, if you haven't already. He's joined them a couple of times to play retro games, and he slots right in enough that he feels like a third host. Such a natural.
8:20 OH MY GOD! Hachimachi did make a cut in Rise of the TMNT! I remember a scene when Leonardo (played by Ben Shwartz obv) swings his sword around saying it!
The only guest capable of bringing Josh's chaotic nature to the surface consistently and match it. Excellent first guest. He'll definitely remember to wash his hands.
Moments I'm obsessed with: 20:28 Ben insulting Josh with "good hosting" 38:08 Josh abruptly leaving the frame and Ben immediately responding with "Take care, man"
I honestly think this show should have the same format, upping the complexity of dishes and questions, but just keep Ben Schwartz as the cohost every time. He and Josh play off of each other so well, he’s hilarious!
Ben is so sweet for jumping in and kinda took on the interviewer role, so that Josh can focus on cooking! He and Post Malone will forever remain as the Top 2 of the *_"GMM Perfect Guests"_* list!
These two have the energy of two class clowns from high school who haven't seen each other in years but when they see each other at a reunion they immediately get back to their bits and tricks from years ago.
i see why josh has his own show and is doing so well. he's able to keep up and hold his own really well with one of the fastest and funniest guys around rn
The last 15 minutes of this video has genuinely some of the best back and forth between an interviewer and a guest I’ve ever seen I couldn’t stop laughing the entire time
13:38 I worked on the show "Fairfax" and can confirm this is 100% something he does enthusiastically, and working with the record audio was an absolute joy because of it
It's beautiful to call it Josh's show, he's a good host and a talented cook. I love to hear the crew laugh behind camera, a good reminder its their show too. Love is obvious on this channel, and when you get to know the people who make it... it shares that love as a statement. Cook good, Love good...
Ben reminds me so much of Miles Bonsignore, in the best way possible! The ruthless, quick insults delivered so casually, the spontaneity, the chaos, his intonation.. Comedy gold
I love Ben because everyone loves him and he's hilarious and after many years of following him it's clear he just finds people he likes and can play with and he chooses to find ways to have fun with them and of course he likes goofing with Josh it's fantastic
My top three favorite Mythical Kitchen videos are any videos that are just Josh and Emily, Josh and Lily, and now Josh and Ben. It is peak chaos and awkwardness and I love it.
14:36 my friends and I had a song about papas fritas in high school because it was fun to say. The lyrics were quality: My gustan las papas fritas Las papas fritas me gustan ¿Donde estan las papas fritas Las papas fritas, las papas fritas? 20+ year old memory unlocked, what a stupidly delightful thing to have in common.
I’d say this whole thing went as expected for a maiden voyage from the Mythical Kitchen. The “Oops” counter, Ben advising/critiquing as he guested, Josh flailing but pulling it in as he went. Madness! And that last entry went DARK! 💀Actually, pairing this with “Last Meals” as “5 Stages of Grief” is kinda genius. Your move Team MK. Ben is uncomfortably fun, and pretty perfect against Josh’s brand of chaotic self deprecation. You may proceed…
this was so unhinged but i loved it so much 😭😂😂😂 but genuinely, i did love the vibes of them just hanging out in the kitchen. it's both relaxed but chaotic 😂🤌
"wouldnt that be a You-boater then?" "hmm?" "wha??" "no, U-boater is something very different. Neither of our families like u-boaters..." funniest exchange in the whole video, imo. it took ben by surprise about what josh was talking about.
Ben has such incredible chemistry with Josh! They match each other’s chaos freak too well 🤣 He needs to be on every MK show. Ben on Impostor Chef or Fancy Fast Food would be sublime 💖
This was the most chaotic, high brow, slag fest comedy hour I've ever seen in my life. I absolutely loved it and laughed HARD the whole time. Thank you so much for this holiday gift and I so hope you continue this with Ben every time.
I can't believe this is where I find out that Calvin and Hobbes' title is a philosophy reference. I read both of those philosophers, AND all the comics
a second in and ben's already takin something as silly as josh's little flub and turning it into a serendipitous epiphany about the little mistakes we make in life as human beings and and how you don't have to take life too seriously. it's kind of deep but still light hearted. there's something about his sense of humor that's v like...idk.. receptive and present in the moment. or somethin like that. i dont have the words to describe it.
Ben....Ben....if the movie Tropic Thunder has taught me anything....."You never go Full Pastrami". 🤣🤣 This episode was so much fun. Love that they took it this way and not extra serious. Also, the next time Ben is on, you now must make something with Pastrami...
this is such a good show omg. idk if it’s just cuz ben is an amazing guest (their banter is hilarious). but it seems like it would be a fun experience for anyone on. and josh is obv incredible no surprise there i can’t wait for morreeeeee
Ben Schwartz’s chrono trigger/FF6/FF7/Zelda OoT picks are such a shoutout to I believe we’re the best games of my own childhood. I still have my chrono trigger cartridge
This is somehow the most chaotic it's been in a while despite it only being two people on camera. This has been an absolute joy, Ben is an absolute gem!
Doing Cacio e Pepe as ‘level 1’ feels like a personal dig at Babish’s sisyphean battle with that dish and I’d love if that were actually true. Big fan of the new concept and Ben is perfect for it
Wow, the mythical team really went full pastrami on this
Wow, what an amazing catchphrase!
Yeah it’s good that they didn’t ham it up.
Yeah, well I got your full pastrami right here.
100% full pastrami.
this comment made me think of SpongeBob cooking salami for some reason lol
Pitch: The show becomes 5 Levels with Ben Schwartz and its just always Josh and Ben. This was absolutely lovely.
This
Yes, seconded
yea honestly lol, the way he was asking about josh's wedding made it feel more like a conversation than an interview like last meals imo lmao
agree, ben becomes mythical
Would not be upset.
Ben was the perfect first guest for this show
Maybe someone who knows the difference between smoke and steam but yea he's funny
Foofy
This can not be overstated. PERFECT.
@@apeaape their was pasta burning on the stove, producing smoke. stop being weird.
@@jamesn3122They were initially talking about the steam from the pot with Ben mistaking it for smoke, which is why Josh covered the pot with another pot.
Ben Schwartz is a really RISKY first guest for a format, because he is going to dominate it, and I love it so much
The next guest is literal Santa Claus
Domintate
@@ThouArtEverywhereAndNowhere Dominate
I just loved how he pretty much brow beats josh whenever he's on the show. Josh doesn't even stand a chance.
I disagree. Ben is definitely versatile. He takes space where necessary I feel
The fact that they edited in a FIVE-digit mistake counter already after the first one was peak snarky comedy 😂😂
That simple gag had me guffawing
I love when Ben Schwartz does press tours. Both because he's hilarious, and because he hits places like Mythical Kitchen and Game Grumps
Yes! I love him on both. I guess we have to keep making Sonic movies forever
And Dropout! I'm in love with the Mythical Kitchen-Dropout crossover they've got going on. Jordan hosts a food show for Dropout now, and they look SO cute when they dress up for the camera.
was thinking exactly this, its not often they do guest grumps so i was sooo hyped to see him back!!
We're so close to getting Game Grumps on Mythical Kitchen. It needs to happen.
@@LemmonDP or to getting mythical kitchen on ten minute power hour
"Good hosting" had me actually laughing outloud.
I am dead, that was incredible
Ben really made the show go along! perhaps cooking while hosting is too many pans in the air at once? he does host well on the last meal shows!
Ben Schwartz is my favorite guest on anything he appears on. He goes full pastrami on any show he’s on.
Hachi Machi, full pastrami?
@@Ripcookiethiefthat’s the apron!
This interview is the perfect example of “yes and”. It was chaos but Josh and Ben just bounced off each other like ping pong balls.
We went full pastrami.
It’ll catch on eventually
i hope you've been enjoying the comments absolutely latching on to 'full pastrami' hahah
This is the first time ive actually seen u in anything exept sonic and bro.. 😂😂 i couldnt stop laughing. Also just got me a katz' pastrami sandwich yesterday ❤ though honestly i prefer carnegie still.
I would love it if this series is not Josh chaotically making 5 pasta dishes with a different celebrity every time, but instead Ben driving a different chef to the point of a breakdown every episode.
I love how Ben is also the director on this episode lmao
I feel like we need more improv comedians on cooking shows if this is an example of how good it can be.
Ben immediately turning this is a chaos festival is really on brand and I loved every second.
And always happy that he'll name drop Chrono Trigger every time anyone ever talks about video games.
tbf Josh's middle name is "Chaos", Ben merely pointed it out
We need someone who talks about Earthbound that way! Chrono Trigger is #2 only to Earthbound.
@@coryrudy98 Earthbound? That is not even in a top 10 my man. Chrono Trigger is amazing!
@ You’re welcome to your opinion, even if it may be incorrect. 🤣 Earthbound is the greatest game ever made.
@@coryrudy98 Honestly, my favourite of the era is Illusion of Time and no one EVER talks about that one 😅
So great too that Ben is officially firmly in the Dropout/Mythical talent rotation now, with this, Last Meals, and his Make Some Noise episode, wonderful news, so on point with the vibes.
Ben being an official unoffical cast member of Mythical, Dropout, and Game Grumps is my favorite thing 😂
if you haven’t seen the work ben did for collegehumor before it was dropout, you should check it out!
It's great but as a fun fact I have to add that Ben's been a staple for Collage humour/Dropout for a looong time. His appearances on Jake and Amir are wild
Wait, are you saying that Ben is an official Try Guy now??
@@Yurt_enthusiast7 That's true! But unless I've missed him somehow, I don't think I've seen him on any of the dropout as a streaming service game shows before? I would *love* to be corrected on that though if it means watching more Ben content :D
I have not watched this yet but I'm demanding that it should become a weekly recurring series with always the same guest.
"New Video: 5 Stages of _____ with Ben Schwartz" would be my favorite weekly notification of all time.
I just want Ben to be a permanent guest on this show and the 3rd member of the Game Grumps. I think we have to keep making Sonic movies forever so this keeps happening.
I watched it and I agree completely, Ben is a gem
Only doing this format with Ben would be fantastic
This is lowkey my first time seeing him but now I demand more ben!
This is the companion series ‘Last Meals’ needed. Pure, impersonal chaos to balance out the former’s meditative intimacy. I’m fully supportive of this becoming a recurring series.
This feels like the biggest most hectic mess of a show, and I already love it
I think that's only when Ben is involved. Hopefully more episodes to come.
The tactful yet direct insults at Josh this entire episode really made this one special. Belly laughed so many times!
Props to Josh for rolling with the literal barrage of punches thrown his way this episode 👍
Aromatic
“Neither of our families like the U-Boaters.” I nearly sent myself into a coughing fit from laughing too hard at that 😂
please explain, I'm dumb
@@Gawler Ben Schwartz is Jewish, I’m not sure Josh’s heritage’s relation to the Germans (Uboaters)
@@eos_aurora Josh is also Jewish 👍
@@eos_auroraJosh is also Jewish
@@eos_aurorajosh is also Jewish :)
So kind of Josh for never calling Ben out on calling steam "smoke"
He knew we would 💀
He knew what he was doing
I have never seen this much casual chemistry between a host and interviewee, and that is coming from a longtime Hot Ones viewer before I discovered this channel.
Also I love Ben's top 5 games, Chrono Trigger and FFVII are great picks and I am excited to see he is a RPG fan from the same generation as me and my bf!
This is simply Ben Schwartz with anyone he likes
You'd love seeing him on Game Grumps then, if you haven't already. He's joined them a couple of times to play retro games, and he slots right in enough that he feels like a third host. Such a natural.
Love him on game grumps @@blazefiresabers
Josh deserves his flowers he is such a good host frrrr
This may legitimately be the best Mythical Kitchen video ever made. Pastrami to the fullest, even. Hachi machi!
31:58 I'm sorry but "has a second plane hit the trash can" from Josh is WILD
Trevor brought smosh humor back to josh lol
@@Silverlain-25lol yes had the same thought not josh coming in with a second plane joke😂
spencer agnew whispering jokes into his ear
@@ziiia”whoooa; a second tower has hit the… tower.”
8:20 OH MY GOD! Hachimachi did make a cut in Rise of the TMNT! I remember a scene when Leonardo (played by Ben Shwartz obv) swings his sword around saying it!
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS OMG THANK U
Yessssss I remember that!
I just hear it a lot from H. Foley on Are Your Garbage I had no idea where it came from
HACHIII MACHIII
The only guest capable of bringing Josh's chaotic nature to the surface consistently and match it. Excellent first guest. He'll definitely remember to wash his hands.

Mythical Kitchen HAS to make the Ben Schwartz episodes an annual thing. Ben and Josh are too freaking entertaining together.
I honestly think this show should have the same format, upping the complexity of dishes and questions, but just keep Ben Schwartz as the cohost every time. He and Josh play off of each other so well, he’s hilarious!
Josh cooks, Ben interviews - perfect!
Ben is so sweet for jumping in and kinda took on the interviewer role, so that Josh can focus on cooking!
He and Post Malone will forever remain as the Top 2 of the *_"GMM Perfect Guests"_* list!
OMG IM SO HAPPY HES BACK 😭 HIS LAST MEALS EP IS ONE OF MY FAVES
Same😭
me three
My fav part of sonic movies coming out is getting so much Ben content everywhere
These two have the energy of two class clowns from high school who haven't seen each other in years but when they see each other at a reunion they immediately get back to their bits and tricks from years ago.

Wow, Ben's "Yes, and" brain is just ALWAYS firing. It's damn impressive.
I can also see why he might not be everyone's cup of tea, but i enjoy him. 😂
They match each other's chaos so well I love it so much
Ben is the BEST, literally a dream guest for a first time trying a format. That aside I do love the idea of this! I'm excited for the next one :))
That U-Boater joke was perfection. Good job Josh.
25:00 "THATS TOO MANY EGG YOLKS" Ben said proudly.... 😂
The problem you're gonna have is no episode is gonna be as entertaining as this one
13:38 I worked on the show "Fairfax" and can confirm this is 100% something he does enthusiastically, and working with the record audio was an absolute joy because of it

Ben reminds me so much of Miles Bonsignore, in the best way possible! The ruthless, quick insults delivered so casually, the spontaneity, the chaos, his intonation.. Comedy gold
My gosh the two of them in a room would be wild
6:56 "Going full pastrami" is like the kosher version of going whole hog " 😂
Ben's last meals was one of my favorites! I'm so glad he's back
It's so good how the entire run time of this and his Last Meals episode, Ben just seems like he's both absolutely hating and loving his experience.
And the cutest couple of 2024 goes to Josh & Ben. Besh
I love Ben because everyone loves him and he's hilarious and after many years of following him it's clear he just finds people he likes and can play with and he chooses to find ways to have fun with them and of course he likes goofing with Josh it's fantastic
Ben, with his two appearances on GMM and his Last Meals appearance has quickly become a top 5 guest ever. Helps that he is sonic too!
The delivery of “what’s this dish called?” made me laugh so godamn hard. Ben is a national treasure
Ben is truly one of my favorite GMM guests of all time. He blends in so well to the chaos and is always a delight!
My top three favorite Mythical Kitchen videos are any videos that are just Josh and Emily, Josh and Lily, and now Josh and Ben. It is peak chaos and awkwardness and I love it.

I am so glad Josh ends every episode with "Man these bananas are good!"
I love being able to hear everyone behind the cameras, feels like I'm watching these with friends in the room :)
it's always fun watching ben and josh chat cause they have so much natural chaotic energy together
They went full pastrami with this one!
Ok well we need Ben on the channel more often as a buddy duo.
this was so unhinged but i loved it so much 😭😂😂😂
but genuinely, i did love the vibes of them just hanging out in the kitchen. it's both relaxed but chaotic 😂🤌
I love how Ben comes on every time and becomes a part of the family
I think this is the best guest to come on the MK channel. He fits in so naturally. I love this.
Anyone who loved Ben on this video should check out his Game Grumps videos too. Natural chemistry and comedic timing with the hosts, just like here.
I love how Ben and Josh are just riffing like real friends on this show
0:19 before this video goes any further let me just say I love the human mistakes counter! 🤓
When the crew laugh out loud like a live audience, we know Ben is dynamite magic
"wouldnt that be a You-boater then?"
"hmm?"
"wha??"
"no, U-boater is something very different. Neither of our families like u-boaters..."
funniest exchange in the whole video, imo. it took ben by surprise about what josh was talking about.
16:29 just seeing him get up and away from the flame was the best part😂
5 minutes in and this is one of the best things I’ve seen on this channel. Ben was the best energy for the premier.
38:06 Time stamping this because this is hands down the funniest bit of the whole show! This has been living in my head rent-free for days!!
Ben has such incredible chemistry with Josh! They match each other’s chaos freak too well 🤣 He needs to be on every MK show. Ben on Impostor Chef or Fancy Fast Food would be sublime 💖
I don't watch Mythical Kitchen as often as I do other mythical content but this is TOP TIER, 1000/1000 joshies
nothing matches the energy of having josh and ben in the same room, what a great choice for a first guest!
This was the most chaotic, high brow, slag fest comedy hour I've ever seen in my life. I absolutely loved it and laughed HARD the whole time. Thank you so much for this holiday gift and I so hope you continue this with Ben every time.
I can't believe this is where I find out that Calvin and Hobbes' title is a philosophy reference. I read both of those philosophers, AND all the comics
I am in love with this format. The mistakes make it so human and funny, and Schwartz a perfect guest.
What a lovely treat for the first episode of a new concept, and excellent ball-bustery by Ben
I audibly laughed out loud so many times. These two are amazing together. Especially 37:51, 38:08, and 40:34 😂😂😂
a second in and ben's already takin something as silly as josh's little flub and turning it into a serendipitous epiphany about the little mistakes we make in life as human beings and and how you don't have to take life too seriously. it's kind of deep but still light hearted. there's something about his sense of humor that's v like...idk.. receptive and present in the moment. or somethin like that. i dont have the words to describe it.
the uni looked so good.
So glad this video is 45 minutes long. I wanted more of this combo right after Ben’s Last Meal!
Ben....Ben....if the movie Tropic Thunder has taught me anything....."You never go Full Pastrami". 🤣🤣
This episode was so much fun. Love that they took it this way and not extra serious. Also, the next time Ben is on, you now must make something with Pastrami...
this is such a good show omg. idk if it’s just cuz ben is an amazing guest (their banter is hilarious). but it seems like it would be a fun experience for anyone on. and josh is obv incredible no surprise there i can’t wait for morreeeeee
Ben Schwartz’s chrono trigger/FF6/FF7/Zelda OoT picks are such a shoutout to I believe we’re the best games of my own childhood. I still have my chrono trigger cartridge
This is somehow the most chaotic it's been in a while despite it only being two people on camera. This has been an absolute joy, Ben is an absolute gem!
Ben: It's the only playthrough of a video game I've watched.
Arin and Dan from Game Grumps: Oh.
4:22 “what some snacky cheese?😄” “Yes please 🥹” is so cuteeee
Ben is one of the best guests, and really keeps Josh on his toes
It was so nice of Josh to guest star on this episode!
@32:35 Hahaha. “Oh wow, there’s no much flavour in that. I’m tasting onions….. that’s it”! 😂
Their banter and chemistry is unmatched
Doing Cacio e Pepe as ‘level 1’ feels like a personal dig at Babish’s sisyphean battle with that dish and I’d love if that were actually true.
Big fan of the new concept and Ben is perfect for it
You injected an incredible amount of Ben’s humor directly into the show! And then Ben was there as a bonus “humor garnish”!!
I think "my man," would be Ben's catchphrase for sure!
Ben breaking out Chrono Trigger as a number one game hit me in the feels, I played that game almost as much as Final Fantasy 7 when I was a kid.
This is the kinda chaos I come for. Not just amazing cooking but just unhinged comedy
I would actually pay to just have Ben be the permanent co-host.
This was so, so good.
6:30 lol they're my new favorite duo ben got so excited😭🥺
Oh bless the instinct to yes, and a bit that brought on the mistake counter. Beautiful. I have never seen that and it’s excellent
