No, the title is not clickbait. Can a sandwich ACTUALLY make you a better athlete? Specifically, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When I found out that many NBA players ate a PB&J sandwich - PB&J adjacent item - before a game, I had to figure out WHY! Theorists, this goes beyond sports and nutrition. This is about validating all of the PB&J sandwiches I've eaten over my life. Get ready to play ball!

Once I started this episode, and when Mat mentioned the superstitions with athletes, I theorize it may be a nutritional benefit but mostly it's a mental thing, a placebo effect that helps them and also reminds them of simpler times as kids, a sort of optimistic start to an intense athletic match. Since if you're mentally feeling good, you're probably going to perform better than if you're upset or not feeling well mentally that game. In the age old adage "gotta getcha head in the game"
good analysis. nostalgic happy times definitely do give you a warm, fuzzy feeling!
Ah yes the high school musical music is flooding back to me thank you random commenter
@@laurenfaulk4637 My sister was obsessed with High School Musical and similar stuff so I'm all to familiar with that song.
I think that superstition and nostalgia are one part of it. Though I DO think there's one more practical side to it.
It happens to be this mixture of nutritional bonuses that MatPat noted, as well as being absolutely dead-simple to make and just as if not even simpler to eat, making it a perfect mix of helpful, practical, and sprinkled with a little bit of magic.

I don't think so. There's a video about erasing your fingerprints with pineapple juice and the results where unsuccessful. You can check it out, it's on Tom Scott channel (it's pretty old though)
I have a question, I just ate some Dominos and on their box, they promote their cheese as the best part of their pizza to thank dairy farmers. I was wondering, is the cheese really the best part of pizza?
That’s a very good question.
YMMV.
I think the crust (chewy, plz!) is the best part, followed by the meat(s), sauce, and then the cheese is just there to hold it together.
@Average Cabbage Oh, but I would.
It definitely depends on the pizza imo. I'd say Red Baron pizzas everything is top class on those to the point any of them can be enjoyed separately, but they're also great together. Some pizzas have really good crust and sauce, but bad cheese or some variant of this.
The pizza itself is the best part, a good pizza base can make or break the entire pizza experience. Everything else is literally toppings.
0:25 I love his surprised Chibi eyes that are just in awe as Mat grows.
"Space Jam undoubtedly one of the worst movies ever made."
Me: Blasphemy!
Heresy!

You make good content,Pat!
As soon as I heard “PB&J” I was like, “yeah, absolutely makes sense.”
TL:DW
Peanut butter is an extremely good source of protein and long-term energy, jelly and bread are great sources of sugar & short-term energy.
Also, Matt didn’t mention it, but a PB&J is also a fairly light meal, so reduced risk of cramps compared to, say, pizza which would have a similar effect otherwise.
The bread part of the brake down for short/long term energy is debatable in practice just because some breads lean more towards the complex/long-term side, though they are usually a "heavier" option but as a single sandwich or two that usually won't become a problem.
That's a very good research, for a PB&J can have good effect on Athlete.

I always used to eat my lunchable ingredients individually, totally forgot about it until this video, lol. Also I hope you had a fun weekend at Cedar Point, still blown away I ran into you! Congrats on all the success, been watching ur videos since I finished college in early 2013. Your early channel days talking about struggling with what to do after college I definitely identified with, as I’m sure many others have as well. It’s been good seeing you make a huge name for yourself on CZcams! @MatPat @Game Theory
Seeing this after the bucks won the title makes me wonder how many and what kind of sandwhich Giannis was eating.
For anyone who is planning on trying this, I’d recommend to toast the bread first. Toasting it makes it easier to digest, causing it to not sit in ur stomach. I made the mistake of not toasting it before a state track meet and had a slow race lmao!
czcams.com/video/O3RgjhNeso8/video.html..
Very good advice, bro.
Great minds think alike!
Also toasted PB&J's are great and people need to experience them. I like both, but a toasted one is just a different experience like poptarts toasted or untoasted, pizza hot or cold, PB&J is one of those experiences.
How toasted is toasted? Like crunchy or just warmed up enough to change colour? We don't really have pb&j in the UK anyway but I'm a long distance runner and I'd be interested to see how this affect performance
Is anyone else surprised that Matpat didn't make a "Peanut butter and space jam" joke?
Yeah. I actually am- fr fr
but at 2:35 is a similar thing
What are you saying? He actually did the exact same joke at 11:40

It may also be important that pb&j is quite calory dense which may be helpful because you want a lot of energy, but you don't want to play with your stomach stuffed. There were some studies done that people perform the best in many tasks when a bit hungry, and hunger response at first is mostly based on how full your stomach is before the body realizes exactly how much energy it got from a meal. So if you have to perform at highest level you can it would seem to be most beneficial to eat something dense in calories but low in volume so your energy needs are meet but you body doesn't immediately go into rest and digest mode.
Kevin Garnett being at the genesis of this, just makes it that much more special.
