Mixed Bag of Holding: Energy Drink Sommeliers

“I want my ears to be wings like a rabbit” “Famously not wings, but yes.” #relationshipgoals

trying to portmanteau veggie and energy before caldwell friggin nailed it with vegenergy

Occasionally I wish they wouldn’t torpedo an episode in service of a nonsense bit But I’m probably in the minority?

We’re halfway through and they haven’t settled on the ratings yet this is a good one I can tell lmfao

This one made me realize I have Murphy Energy. 😅😬🤣

I have done this same thing when I worked at a 6am gas station job and with a LOT more, here were my results: Mtn dew energy orange breezs: citrusy 7/10 Mtn dew energy green one: 6/10 Mtn dew energy Strawberry melon spark 8/10 Nos: juice 6/10 Rockstar boom whipped cherry:banger taste no fizz 9/10 i feel jittery Import monster: liquid rock candy 2/10 Pipeline punch: 6/10 Khotic: 5/10 Mango Loco: 7/10 Rehab peach: 3/10 T&L rehab: 7/10 Green: 5/10 Orange: 5/10 Ultra Violet: 6/10 Ultra blue: 4/10 Red: 5/10 White: 4/10 Lo carb: 6/10 Red bull Coconut: 8/10 Green bang: 6/10 Blue bang: 6/10 Purple bang: 5/10 Orange bang: 7/10 Cotton candy: 5/10 Green bull: 5/10 Fig.bull: 7/10 Piss bull: 4/10 Blue bull: 5/10 Reg bull: 3/10 Mean bean: 7/10 Moca loco: 4/10 Mtn dew amp: 8/10 Full throtle 5/10 Appricot bull 6/10 Sour patch ghost 4/10 Sherbet reign 6/10 Kiwi reign 7/10 Orange sherbet ghost: 8/10 Pacific punch: kool-aid/10 Watermelon monster 2/10 Warheads ghost 6/10 Aussie lemonade 7/10 Ultra strawberry dreams 8/10 Cold brew sweet black monster 4/10

God this is hysterical lmao everyone is immediately unhinged and I love it

this gives the same energy of when i was a freshman in hs one of the seniors offered me a sip from their large insulated tumbler cup, because i said i was tired, and only told me after the fact that it was a mixture of black coffee and monster energy. when i say little 14 year old me got IMMEDIATE heart palpitations

Call that the Buffalo Swills

This is the best thing they have ever made, Murph is unhinged and Emily is his personal demon

the final foley noise made me physically recoil, 15/10 episode

Been doing a Mixed Bag re-listen, and I’ve been looking forward to this one ☺️

As someone who shares a lot of Murph’s traits when it comes to following the rules and keeping things on track, he had my full sympathies in this episode.

way late to the party, but I finally signed up for the Patreon, and man am I glad I did. Crying laughing at Murph losing his mind, which I fully would be too had that happened to me.

Bang has some great flavors, it’s my go-to brand.

Ill have to try reign. In general though id say red bull for results, monster for a beverage with a kick, and zoa or bang for day to day (not that you should drink any of these every day or multiple times a week), zoa getting a bonus for kinda actually being made of healthy shit and bang gets a bonus for zero sugar, bonkers flavors and being chock fulla creatine. I do feel like murph did zoa dirty though.

This was fun to listen to as someone who hates energy drinks and also has never drank one (unless you count sharing a blue Poweraid with my sisters when I was like 6)

"mountain dew is for babies" American mountain dew is actually not allowed in Australia as it is deemed not fit for human consumption.

I'd drink gamer girl energy backwash. I'm not wierd I promise.

I'm gonna do this but have a different energy drink every morning

What a beautiful shit storm. You guys should definitely try the Mango Monster and Monster coffees! Those are my absolute favorite.

Gold

There IS a grenade shape energy drink. It's called BOMBA. They used to sell it México, but it's been a long time since I've seen one. I have no idea if it's still available, but there's still a website. https://bomba-energy.com/bomba/

Ok but I heard Caldwell reference Digimon. Yall should do a Digimon mixed bag!

Jake: why milk?

In case anyone wants to follow along with them-- * Redbull (normal) - everyone * Monster (normal) - everyone * Rockstar - (“summer spotlight”?) - everyone but Jake * 3D (Pure silver can) - Just Jake instead of rockstar * Mountain Dew (Tropical sunrise) - Caldwell and Jake * Monster (Ultra violet) - Emily and Murph Wildcards * Reign (orange dreamsicle) - Emily * V8 energy (I think peach mango flavor) - Jake * The Rock’s ZOA (original?) - Murphs * GFuel (Peach Rings by Sonic) - Caldwell Snacks lol * Blue takis

Weirdly enough this made me really want to grab a monster lo carb

This is even better than I expected it to be.

“I’ve been cleansing my palate with milk inbetween,” and then Emily’s reaction to that made me actually howl in laughter at 6 am before my coffee. Hope y’all are having a great day

Just re-listening to it, and with taste being subjective, I think that the intensity of the flavor is more important to know then 4 specific people's opinions, so Emily's rankings are better imo. Also, if there's ever a repeat, the whole confusion could have been avoided by adding a 3rd category, so the scales could be: Tang = Intensity of the flavor Bang = How hard the energy hits you Hang = How much you enjoyed it and would be willing to sip on while just hanging

absolutely chaotic energy this mixed bag and loved it, but aren't sommeliers supposed to rate wines in a descriptive way to help others with their decisions on what to buy and why? tang & bang being purely if the gang liked it or not didn't make sense. it doesn't make sense for a sommelier to rate subjectively rather than objectively.

1st mix bag I've listened to, and my God I am so happy!

I recommend that Jake try a V8 Energy that isn't expired. They make a non-carbonated version and a sparkling version.

(C)up(ho)l(de)r Beautiful, I can imagine the cheeky can design that scratches out the u-p-l-r

I would pay ungodly amounts of money for Emily's Spit bucket

If only Caldwell had found the chili dog flavored G Fuel. It’s real and upsetting.

The people that would buy gamer girl backwash are the same people that talk shit about the gamer girl.

Could tred nevers lead a hard seltzer tasting

You are all so whack.

Someone probably already said this but it should’ve be “taste & haste”

Reign is so freaking good

The chaos of this episode was hilarious

Please please please try the peach-nectarine Red Bull. It’s the only red Bull flavor I like

I can't believe they are so down on the rockstar! I drink them all the time and love it

Jake has since contracted severe diarrhea from the rotten V8

"Murph Sheathe your blade" LMAO

As a night shift ER Nurse/ Tiefling hexblade warlock I stand by Emily’s 15/15 of orange dreamsicle, I’m just getting by on short rests 😂

So many things make this show elite: the performing, the voices, the storytelling, the talented improv, the editing, the music, etc etc... but the most important elements that makes this show elite? The wild charisma and the chaotic energy that makes us want to listen to the cast do everything from drink and rate the tang and bang of energy drinks to weighing in on matters of CRITical importance in DM court.

Omfg.I hate how much this made me want to have an energy drink

Anyone had the Plus Ultra My Hero Acadamia energy drink?

Also I thought I was the only one who messed with my mouth squirters. But now I drool alot.

Tang & Bang...this is what I'm paying for? This mixed bag was fucked from the beginning. Gonna do my own taste test.

I do whisky tastings for a living so this was both horrifying and incredible to listen to

I think the rating scale should we go on like this: the tang is how pleasurable it is to each person, how well liked the taste it. The thing should’ve been the intensity of sugar/drink. This way you have an objective and personal favors Murph and Emily.

I would not pay for gamer girl backwash, but I would pay so much money to gaslight Murph for 1 hour.

So what I'm hearing is that Jake's new hustle is gonna be a Naddpod energy drink in a healing potion bottle?

I was just waiting for Murph to have an aneurysm there for a minute. Omg. I peed myself a little laughing so hard. This ep is for the bang and tang and squirters.

When you first had this idea I thought it would make for terrible radio and I would have to give the episode a perfect 10/10, but it was actually incredibly funny! I'll give you 27.5/??!

I just got disciplined at work because I was laughing too hard at this mixed bag. I’d rate this mixed bag a 10/10 in both tang and bang

So glad you guys grabbed a bang they all taste ridiculous. There’s one that tastes like a mouthful of skittles.

There is an energy drink in a grenade shaped bottle, its called bomba and i love it http://bomba-energy.com/bomba/

Love this. You guys have got to try the Blueberry Red Bull! It's easily my favorite energy drink! Take your taste buds on a flavor journey unlike any you've ever experienced. The hint of blueberry flows over your tongue like a waterfall as the intense 'kick' of the red bull gets your heart racing at a more pleasant pace than it's rapid-acting sister drinks. Tang: 10/10 Bang: 10/10 My brother and I love you guys! Cody and Will

I love that mixed bags have turned into fucking with Murph! It is so funny every single time

This is the most energetic and pumped up mixed bag ever. Instead of tapering off as the episode went on they went on a rampage.

Can't do red bull, reminds me of yeager bombs. Monster OG literally makes me feel like i'm having a heart attack. Never had rockstar, Bang, or G Fuel. I'm all about Nos. Too bad it wasn't tested. Reign is pretty good and i just remembered about full throttle which i haven't had.

Totally suggested the Reign Orange Dreamsicle after the coliseum episode 😂😂 I definitely feel honoured to know Emily and I have the same taste in energy drinks.

LMAO Jake had to be gaslighting Murph, the Tang and the Bang is the exact format of the Goat Show there’s no way he didn’t understand

It’s okay Murph you 100% explained Tang and Bang clearly! Couldn’t breath during that part😂😂😂

I found the peach rings sonic G-fuel in a gas station in the middle of nowhere while doing a firewood run to the nearest city while camping. I only bought it because of my found memories of 8bbc. I regretted buying the hog. They need to reroll that hog cause it ain't right

Wait murph messed up his own system lmao on Rockstar he was talking about taste with bang. Such a wild mixed bag I loved it

"Yeah I shoulda got some NUTS." -Murph 32:50

Rockstar Pure Zero Silver Ice is my favorite! It tastes nothing like the “regular” Rockstar!

No Monster Khaos but sweet, sweet chaos does ensue!

Bang donated to trumps re-election campaign

tang it n' bang it, boys

YES. I WAS HOPING FOR THIS SEGMENT

It's funny to me that Caldwell thought the Monster had a bit of a cotton candy taste because me and my friends would mix Monster Lo Cal with some Dekuyper Watermelon Pucker Liqueur which end result does taste exactly like cotton candy

Guys this is so funny and so vile. I really should not have drank a protein shake while listening to the V8 part.

Murph losing his shit is always a good ep. Also Red Bull coconut is shockingly good

Aw I miss when 8bbc would talk about sonic’s stinky feet 😌

I’ll also let everyone k is the V8 Peach Mango flavor is really, really good. If I could still drink caffeine I would rate it 10/10

Hey guys, just so you know before you try the Birthday Cake drink the owner of Bang is like a die hard Trump supporter!

no hate to y’all but this might just be the worst mukbang of all time, just by virtue (or sin) of the facts that 1) the subject is being drank (not eaten) 2) the subject is so obviously gross 3) one of the mukbanger’s very outwardly hates it

I love how fast they got hyped on caffeine 😂 Anybody else on their 3-4th energy drink of the day by the time this dropped?

Wow, the GOAT Show sure has changed a lot🤣

When I was just outta high school, there was a Monster versus Rockstar thing akin to Playstation versus Xbox. It was wild. But anyway, I always thought Monster tasted like cough syrup and Rockstar was better. I'm gonna call it a cilantro thing and tell everyone from high school we were all wrong. Thanks y'all. 15 year mystery solved.

I love how quickly things go off the rails! This is podcasting at its finest.

I'm so glad I pay extra for this content 😂😂😂

I’m laughing so hard, everyone is yelling

This was a delight 😆 There's a few I wish had ended up on the roster, but the Sonic thing and the Bang were GOLD, well done Caldwell

I can't believe what I'm listening. These crazy sons and daughter of bitches!

You beautiful maniacs

You could make a little water gun for a 5hr energy drink

I don't know if they still do it this way but the energy drink company gripp used to sell bottles that looked like grenades

This is Peaking

I’d love if they slowly increased the speed throughout the pod

Total mad lad behavior

The absolute mad lads

This was a perfect opportunity for a GOAT show podcast collab.

oh no edit: i have to say the very best energy drink is the fruit punch flavor of Monster thats been discontinued for 3 years

If this doesn't include recommended food pairings I will riot.

I cannot believe you actually did it.

The pink Monster is my favorite (when I very rarely drink an energy drink). Hopefully it doesn't get torn to shreds XD

We are slowly entering the “Jackass” phase of mixed bag. That isn’t a compliant for the record.

Oh fuck all the way off I’m so glad I signed up to this

My cousin works for Monster so any negative reviews will be reported to her.

LETS FUCKING GO

I guess I am spending my night with 2011 flashbacks

Doing the hard work so we don't have to, bless. Knowing Emily can't even handle more than a single cup of coffee, I'd love to know what happened after the recording.

Immediately started giggling when I read the notification

Prescott Vanmeyer III here sommeliering from home. Today we're going to be trying a 12 year old can of Monster Assault.

True adventurers!

Let out a audible “oh god” when I got the notification for this.

Omg, the mad lads did it. I'm so pumped for this. 😂

Oh shit, I just bumped up to the Mixed Bag level this month, and I couldn’t have picked a better time.

Nice!
