- Are your hot takes too much for our stomachs to handle?
- Let's talk about that.
(cheerful music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- Please welcome the co-creator and star
of the new film "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On,"
which is now in theaters,
it's Jenny Slate!
- Hey.
- Hi. Hi.
- Welcome to the show, Jenny.
- Thank you so much.
- Can I shake your left hand?
- Oh, sure, you got it.
- We're big fans.
You know, we go way back
with "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On."
- You do?
- You know? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's like birthed on the internet.
- Yup.
- Created from your voice.
Now a movie, I love it. - Now a movie, yeah.
- Now, we've heard that you love spicy foods,
is that correct?
- I do.
- I hope you do, because this is gonna get
really awkward in a second if you don't.
- No no, I do, I do.
Big time. - Good. All right.
- What about spicy takes? Like hot takes?
- Hot takes. Yeah, I have hot takes on stuff.
- You got any you're willing to share?
- Yeah, if you can take it.
- Oh! - Ohoho! Okay!
- All right, dish it out!
- But I'm not, it might not be like that big.
I don't like it when...
I think it's gross when people wear those toe shoes,
and especially when they wear them,
I don't like it when they wear them,
and I really don't like it
when they wear them in the supermarket.
- Preach!
Oh yeah.
- I think it's very...
- We have talked so much trash about toe shoes.
- Have you? Yeah.
- On and off the show.
- It's, I don't like it at all.
- What about a supermarket, though? I don't...
- Well, because it's like
where people are going to buy your food.
- It's too intimate.
- So you don't like the idea of seeing individuated toes
while shopping for celery.
- That's right.
Or, let's say I was trying to shop for like, a dip.
Do I wanna see someone's toes? - Individuated?
No. - Absolutely not.
- That's a hot take, and today we're combining hot takes
with hot food.
It's time for "Both Dishes are Spicy,
but Horror Lurks on One Plate.
Can We Figure Out the Right Hot Take
with Our New Friend Jenny Slate?"
The Mythical Crew created a list
of controversial opinions,
and asked you, the Mythical Beasts,
which ones you agree with.
Over 21,000 of you voted,
and our job will be to
individually guess- - Was that an
impressive number?
- Well, it's a lot. I mean...
- I mean, how many people went to your high school?
- Mine?
- Yeah.
- 50,000.
- Right, so like, half of Jenny's high school voted.
Okay, and our job is to individually guess
which hot takes you agreed with the most.
- Okay, each answer will be represented
by a seemingly delicious spicy dish in front of us,
however, the dish representing the wrong answer
will not be what it seems.
In other words, Jenny,
the wrong answer is gonna be a nasty food,
that we'll find out by eating it.
- Right, but what if I like things that are disgusting?
- Then...
- Then your whole game just falls apart.
- Yeah, you're really messing with the mechanics.
- You're a loser who wins.
- You're a loser who wins, man.
- Thank you.
- All right, okay, but yeah, let's get to the snacks,
you know what I mean?
- Yeah. - Yep.
(dramatic music)
- Okay. - Hot take time.
- I'm gonna read first.
The two hot takes are,
"Wendy's has better chicken nuggets than McDonald's."
Ooh.
- Okay.
- Or, "PDA," or PDOA, as my dad always adds the O,
"isn't weird, it's sweet."
Let's see what we've got here.
So we don't know, they're just jalapeno poppers.
- The same thing on both, so...
- So Wendy's nuggets better than McDonald's nuggets.
You got any nugget opinions?
- Whoops, I moved this.
I wanted to show you the pop,
that's a big ol' popper.
- I haven't had a Wendy's nugget, ever.
- Hey, you know what?
- I'm sorry.
- We're all friends here.
- I...
- Now we seem like the ones that are wrong,
for eating all the Wendy's nuggets.
- It's not that I haven't been to Wendy's, it's,
if I'm gonna go and have a treat like that,
I'm having a cheeseburger.
- You gonna have a square burger!
And a Frosty?
- I've never had a Frosty.
- Oh my god.
- You ever had fries?
- I know where we're going after this,
we're going straight to Wendy's.
- No, you guys know, you go to Wendy's
and you just drink all the ketchup packets.
And then you say "Can I use the bathroom?"
You go in there for like 30 minutes,
and then like, you know,
you go outside and you fall asleep on the counter.
- Yeah, outside.
- I know how to go to a restaurant.
- Yeah, that all made a lot of sense.
- PDA, though.
PDA is something,
like I remember back when he was dating Jessie,
and me and Christy had been dating-
- I've been married to her for 21 years, we're still dating.
In fact, we did some PDOA the other day
at that pooltop,
rooftop place that you had your little party.
- It's always good to be on top of a pool.
- Right on top of the pool.
- Christy and I had dated for like a year
when they started dating.
- Uh-huh.
- And then it was just like "Oh, their fresh relationship
was just full of all this PDA,"
and it was just like, I just took it very personally,
and I freaking hated it.
I was tired of it.
- I understand, so you don't really like it,
because you don't like how it casts your own relationship.
- Yeah, exactly.
- Exactly!
- Yeah, it's the little contrast.
- Yeah.
- I like it.
Oh, am I supposed to say?
- You like PDA?
- Yeah, I like when people do it,
and I think it's really nice.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, I think...
- Good for them, go get it.
- So I have to go with the nuggets, that's just me,
I mean I don't-
- Well this isn't what you agree with,
this is what you think the most people agree with.
- Oh... - Oh...
- Should I explain the game again?
- Maybe, I mean clearly we had no idea what was going on.
Oh, I bet...
Oh, am I allowed to say?
- Whatever you want. - Okay, I think that
this one was the one that people agreed with.
- Yeah, I am on team
"Wendy's nuggets are better than McDonald's nuggets"
because I think a lot of people are pissed off with PDA.
- Oh, you think I'm normal.
- I don't do it as much, man.
- I thought I wasn't normal.
Okay.
- So, what happens now?
- We just eat it and see if we're right.
- I eat this, right? - And on the count of three,
we'll eat, and then we'll know,
if it's good that means we were right,
if it's nasty we were wrong.
- God, I'm so scared, but my- - And you can't take a nibble,
you gotta take a bite.
- Okay.
- Three, two, one.
- I think mine is good.
- We don't know what we're supposed to think.
- I think mine is good, too.
- [Stevie] I mean, it kinda tracks because
Link is eating cat food right now.
(Rhett guffaws) (crew laughs)
- He likes cat food, he does.
He legitimately likes cat and dog food,
and he doesn't know when he's eating it.
This happens all the time.
- That would not happen, right?
That there would be cat food?
(crew laughs)
- Yeah.
- Yeah, but it's like the good kind of cat food.
- Little fishy.
- It's like the really fancy cat food, like Fancy Feast.
- No, no, absolutely not.
That can't...
- Too late to back out now, Jenny.
Round two!
- You don't have to worry about it, 'cause we were right.
- Well, everyone was asking me about my allergies,
I didn't think to say like, (Stevie guffaws)
"Don't feed me what you would feed an animal."
- Yeah, right, yeah, well, you're in too far now.
- [Stevie] So 5,374 of the Mythical Beasts
believe PDA isn't weird, it's sweet,
while 6,460 Mythical Beasts
believe that Wendy's chicken nuggets
are better than McDonald's.
- Oh, you know, now I really understand
that I have to make the right guess.
- Yeah, 'cause it could be anything.
- I was like "Oh, this sounds like a fun game,"
and now I'm like super freaked out.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
(dramatic music)
- The next pair of spicy hot takes are,
"Peeing in the shower is gross."
Versus "Baths are gross, you're floating in your own filth."
- Well you waited, that one has more of an explanation.
And this is baths? - Yeah, it does have to.
I mean, you don't need much explanation
with peeing in the shower.
- I think that people
are more against baths these days.
- [Link] Really?
- Mm-hm.
- Baths have fallen on hard times.
- I think they have.
- A lot of people pee in the shower,
but then when they're asked about it,
they're gonna throw it under the bus.
"Oh, yeah, that's gross, because it's like,
you know, it's the pee and it's the shower."
- I can't not pee in the shower.
I mean, at this point, I'll pee before I get in the shower,
and as soon as that warm water hits my back I'm like "Oh,"
and it just, I can't help it,
it's like a Pavlovian response.
- I get mad when I haven't peed in the shower.
- Like it was your one chance?
- Well it's just...
Well no, it's the best place to do it.
- There's no way baths
are more controversial than shower peeing.
- I think they are.
God, I think they are. - Yeah, so you're with me.
- I think people are against the bath.
- Even though they do it.
- Yeah, I mean I love a bath,
but I just think people,
I think they've gone out of favor.
- Since Victorian times, yes.
- Right?
- So you're voting bath.
- I'm voting bath.
- I'm voting shower peeing. - Well then I'm agreeing
with you.
- I'm so scared, I get so scared, but, okay.
- Well grab your wing, Link.
- I don't know which wing to grab.
- Well you said baths.
You said you're agreeing with Jenny.
- I thought I was agreeing with the shower peeing.
- Is this game as hard as Link makes it seem?
- [Stevie] Well see, that's the thing,
I'm trying to only track what Link is doing, and it's hard.
- Don't.
- [Stevie] You said you think that people say
that peeing in the shower is gross,
even though they do it.
So you would eat the wing that's in front of you.
- I think more people think that baths...
- More people think that baths.
- Are...
- Are gross.
- More people think that shower peeing.
Three, two, one. - Two, one.
- Y'all are wrong.
Lemme tell you right now.
- This tastes good.
- It tastes good to me.
- What's wrong with baths?
Have people been talking about this?
I didn't know about baths being bad.
This is really sour, I don't know what's going on.
- [Link] It's a sour hot wing?
- How many people don't like baths?
- [Stevie] Yeah, so Rhett, you're wrong,
your wings are coated in malic acid.
So they're a little sour.
- Little, yeah.
- [Stevie] 3,752 of the Mythical Beasts
believe peeing in the shower is gross,
while 6,543
believe that taking baths in your own filth is gross.
- You were right,
and I'm glad I just got confused and copied you.
- If y'all worded it that way, of course!
(dramatic music)
- What we got?
- Okay, here are our next two spicy opinions.
"Money can buy happiness," versus
"Horoscopes are complete BS."
- Oh...
Hm, huh.
- [Link] Controversial.
- [Rhett] Hey, okay.
- Chicken sliders.
- So, either more people believe that horoscopes are BS,
or that money can buy happiness.
- When's the last time you went around saying
"I got a hot take, money can buy happiness."
- Here's the thing, I think that people like to say
money can't buy happiness,
but then everybody secretly is like "But maybe it can."
I think everyone's thinking that.
"Maybe a little bit more would make me happy," right?
Everybody's living according to that.
How many people are reading their horoscopes every day?
I think it's pretty dadgum common.
- What did you say?
- I think it's pretty dadgum common.
- Common.
- I think it's pretty dadgum common.
- I mean, I'm not sure what you said, but I agree with you.
- But do people who read their horoscopes
believe that they're real,
or are they just like "I'm just gonna see what it says."
- Well, here's what I think about it.
- Yeah? - Mm-hm?
- I think they like to have a feeling
for where the universe is inclined to send their story,
but they also like to have free will,
but they wanna know
"What's generally kind of on the forecast,
and then I'll at least know what I'm heading into."
- Right.
- I think that more people actually probably voted
for that money can buy happiness.
- I agree with you.
You also have not been wrong yet.
- I know, you're going for the Queen Sweep, I...
I really think this could be it.
Money can buy happiness.
There's so many people who believe in horoscopes.
- I do. In my way.
- In your way.
- In my way, I leave room.
I'm not gonna like totally do my life because, you know,
Mars is squaring Venus or whatever.
- But you're gonna dabble in it.
- Yeah, like if my horoscope says like
"Tempers will flare today" or something like that,
I'm very very careful,
then I usually forget and then I usually do
have a bad temper or something like that.
Anyway.
(Rhett laughs)
- It's hard to imagine you with a bad temper.
Like what does that...?
- It's like... - Is it yelling?
- No. - Is it pointing?
- No, no.
- Then what is it?
- It's like... - Beating?
- It's sort of like crying and like,
it's sort of like being bummed, you know?
- Right, so you're saying when you get mad, you get sad.
- Yeah, I also get mad, but the way that it comes out
is with crying and wanting hugs, and closeness.
And then, you know, being like "That wasn't enough hugging."
- All right, so we're all in agreement
that money- - It's gotta be this one.
- Can buy happiness is something that more of you believe.
- Yep.
I'm scared.
- [Stevie] Aw, come on, you guys are no fun,
you all got it right.
- I'm still scared, though.
- I'm so scared.
- It's like, "Is that just chicken?"
- [Stevie] Don't you wanna taste something new?
Do you wanna taste something fresh?
- It's right there in front of you, Rhett.
- [Stevie] I mean, yeah.
- Well tell me what it is, and I'll tell you.
- [Stevie] It's fresh.
(crew laughs)
- Oh.
- Jenny, you can decide who gets to eat it.
- This is not aioli, lemme just say that.
- At this point in the show,
who do you wanna eat that more?
(Jenny chuckles)
It's up to you, you have the power.
- Oh, man, I hate stuff like this.
I hate making people do stuff.
- You could take one for the team.
- Oh...
- You know what it is.
- I'll do it, I'll try.
I'll do it.
- You want the whole thing, or you want this?
- No, I'm gonna do the whole thing, you know.
- Yep.
- Are you ready? - All you had to do
was choose one of us.
(Rhett laughs)
- I just don't want to. - I didn't mean to put you
in this position. - No, I'm just, you know.
Just wanna join in.
- Just wanna join in. Just wanna be part of the fun.
- It's really like...
- [Rhett] Minty?
- Yeah, it's like...
- [Stevie] It's fresh, huh?
- It is fresh.
- [Stevie] It's just toothpaste.
- Here's the thing.
I don't think it's that gross.
- Ha! (Rhett laughs)
- [Stevie] And also, double thing,
Jenny, you get an extra point for this round
for taking that toothpaste for the team.
I've never said something like that before.
The thing about this round is that,
we had so many votes for each one of these takes,
these takes that people really agreed with,
so it was 12,260
that agreed with the "Horoscopes are complete BS,"
12,681 that believed that money can buy happiness.
It was super, super close.
- The majority believes both of those things.
- [Stevie] Yep.
- It's still very minty in there, I mean...
Was it a toothpaste, or is it like a mint
house paint or something?
- Well, it isn't mint house paint, is it?
- [Stevie] No, to get specific it's a mint extract
along with toothpaste, to up that minty flavor.
- Extra minty toothpaste. - [Stevie] We can send you
home with a little vial.
- A slider. We'll send you home with a slider.
(dramatic music)
Final round.
- I don't think we can beat Jenny,
especially with that extra point.
You could have the Queen Sweep here.
- I hope so, let's see.
- Here we go.
"Bacon doesn't make a cheeseburger any better."
Or, "Eggnog is delicious."
- Oh...
This is where I'm definitely gonna,
I bet clash with the culture, at large.
- Okay, expound on that.
- I love a nog, I love my eggnog,
I think it's really good,
sometimes when it's holiday time, I put it in our pancakes.
- Oh, really? - I mix up the pancake
with the eggnog.
So.
- You can do that?
- [Jenny] Yeah, yeah!
- Oh.
- Yeah, instead of the milk, you just...
- Wow.
- [Jenny] That nog.
- You just blew Link's mind. - Get that nog going, yeah.
- What's your take on bacon, though, in general?
- I love bacon.
BLT, one of my favorite sandwiches,
maybe my favorite sandwich.
- I'm more of a BT man, myself.
- BT?
- Oh, no. - No, you're a BL man.
- That's right. I forgot what T stood for.
- Yeah, no, I mean I also couldn't remember.
- I don't like the T.
- A lot of people don't like Ts. Yeah. Like tomatoes.
But I like it.
- But are you a bacon cheeseburger person?
- [Jenny] I'm not.
- So, okay, so you're like "I like bacon,
but put that on the BLT, cheeseburgers are,"
I agree, I think cheeseburgers are good enough without it.
- I personally think that bacon
doesn't make a cheeseburger better, usually.
I'm gonna say it.
- I agree, but I do think few...
- But you like eggnog, a lot.
- But it's not about what she likes.
- Wait, wait, okay, so...
- [Rhett] This is a paradox.
- Jenny, I want you to get the Queen Sweep,
that's all I care about at this point.
- It is really one of these things where
it's like I don't understand the question,
and I don't remember feeling this way
since like taking a test,
or like... - Sorry.
- This does feel like an SAT question.
- [Stevie] Most people usually like bacon,
so the hot take is that bad bacon, in this case,
and most people don't really like eggnog,
so the hot take is good eggnog.
- Bacon bad, eggnog good.
Who's gonna agree more with that?
- I think more people thought that bacon
doesn't make cheeseburgers better,
because I think that when they really thought about it,
they were like "You know what?
Cheeseburgers are good already."
- Yeah.
- I think more people agreed with this.
- I think more people like eggnog than you would think.
And so I think it won.
- Well let's find out. - But I think that they're
protective of their burgers, so I'm gonna go with this.
- Okay.
All right. - Okay.
- Dink it.
- And sink it.
- Mmgh!
(crew laughs)
Agh!
- He's having trouble over there.
- But it's spicy.
What was it?
- Ack, I don't know, Jenny!
- Oh, I got the Queen Sweep!
- Yeah, you did!
(crew cheers)
- Oh, sorry.
What is it? - What is that?
- [Stevie] That is a fish sauce.
- Oh! - Ew!
That's gross.
Oh, I'm so sorry. - [Stevie] That was also
super, super close, I'll say it was 6,574 for the eggnog,
6,830 for the "Bacon doesn't make a cheeseburger better,"
so it was close.
- Sorry, Link.
And congratulations, Jenny.
- Thank you so much.
Wow, that was actually really well earned.
- Just smella that.
- Oof.
- Yeah, that's bad, I can smell it from here.
