- Which POTUS ate the grossest?
- Let's talk about that.
(alarm rings) (playful theme music)
(fire blasts)
Good Mythical Morning!
- We come to you this morning with one of the biggest
public service announcements of our lifetimes.
One word, four letters, vote! - Vote.
- Yes, the incredibly important U.S. midterm elections
are on November 6th, and if you aren't registered
to vote yet then we want to encourage you
to make it happen.
- Yes, make it happen.
Please go to vote.org right now to handle your business
and make a difference.
Different states have different cut offs for registration
so don't get left out.
It's a great way to be your Mythical best.
- And speaking of voting, we're about to bring out
eight men who were voted in as president of
the United States of America to find out
what they love to shove down their gullets.
It's time to play,
I did not have culinary relations with that food.
But which president did?
I couldn't help but notice this holy wall of POTUS.
- Yes, this wall of POTUS has eight POTI on it,
featuring Richard Nixon.
- [Crew Member] I am not a crook, but I am a foodie!
(chuckling)
- He speaks!
I'm so glad there's a hole so they can speak.
- Who else do we have up there?
- Martin Van Buren.
- [Crew Member] Hello, it's me, Martin Van Buren.
(Rhett chuckles) This is what I talk like.
- And George Washington.
- [Crew Member] Hello it's me, George Washington.
That's right, George Washington.
- And then down here we have William H. Harrison.
Here, he's thinking about it.
- [Crew Member] Hi guys, it's me, William Henry Harrison.
I died pretty early on in my presidency, whoa!
- Yeah, like a month.
You were only a month in office.
- Yep, 30 days! - Herbert Walker Bush.
- [Crew Member] Oh hi, hi Rhett and Link, it's me.
(Rhett laughs)
- Thought you said, "Not gonna do it.
"Not gonna do it."
- Oh yeah, oh right. - "Not gonna do it."
- [Crew Member] I remember what I talk like.
- Calvin Coolidge, you can bring it out later.
I have no clue what he sounded like.
- [Crew Member] Oh hi guys, it's me,
it's Calvin Coolidge.
Hi guys, hi!
- Hi. - Yeah.
- And then down here we have Gerald Ford.
- [Crew Member] Hi Rhett and Link, it's me, Gerald Ford.
- Yes, I can tell, and finally, the big G Dub himself, Bush.
- [Crew Member] Mission accomplished, Rhett and Link.
Remember that, mission accomplished.
- His face is, your mouth is so sideways.
- Well it's just so low, I think that--
- [Crew Member] Mission accomplished.
- (chuckling) He's gotta get a 45 degree angle.
Which is great.
- All right we're gonna be giving a dish
that we have to match to a president that loved it.
- And we will indicate that by feeding it
to that particular president.
I hope they're all hungry!
- And whoever has the most right at the end
is named GMM president for a day and will have
the privilege of delivering the first ever
state of the Mythical union address.
Now let's feed some POTI.
(orchestral music)
What is our first dish under the White House cloche?
- Ah. - Look at that.
- [Rhett] Pizza but a certain kind of pizza.
- [Stevie] Guys this is cheeseburger pizza
which is a Margherita pizza covered in the ingredients
of a cheeseburger.
- Hmm. - Which president do you think
loved this cheesy cheeseburger pizza?
- [Link] Hmm, cheeseburgers.
- I mean this can't be somebody way,
way back in the day, right?
We're not talking about George Washington.
- Yeah.
Well I know that H Dub hated broccoli,
which I think means that he loves pizza.
So I'm actually voting for that.
- Yeah so we have a little cheat sheet,
some presidential facts that might help inform some things.
- Herbert Walker.
- [Crew Member] Yeah, that's me, the H Dub,
H.W. stands for hog wild.
(moans)
Not gonna chew it.
(Rhett laughs) Not gonna chew it.
Read my lips.
They're covered in food.
- All right you liked that, huh?
You think I'm right?
- [Crew Member] Not supposed to give it away.
- Okay you know what, I feel like this
is a very Richard Nixon, gosh.
- [Link] Let me help you with that, Rhett.
- Please do. - There you go.
- Richard Nixon-ish. - Nixon.
- [Crew Member] Stick it in, big boy, come on.
(crew laughing)
I'm gonna need to wash this down with a little water gate.
(chuckles) Yeah, (chuckles) okay.
- All right so do we find out our answers or
do we just have to keep going?
- [Stevie] Keep on going.
- Let's keep going! - Yes!
(orchestral music)
Here we go.
- [Link] What is that, ketchup on cottage cheese?
- [Stevie] That's literally all it is.
Which president loved this?
- Somebody who's sick.
- Now, according to my fact sheet here,
G Dub Bush down here choked on a pretzel.
(object clanging)
Oop, you all right back there?
- [Crew Member] Yep, oh,
just a classic W absent-mindedness.
- Choking on a pretzel. - Kicking over something.
(Rhett laughs)
- He might wanna eat this because it's so soft.
- But you know what, it says that William Henry Harrison
was once described as utterly unpretentious.
- [Link] That's not very pretentious.
It's actually kinda stupid looking.
- Yeah, this is, "I just like cottage cheese with--"
- If that's your answer, go for it.
- And I'm gonna feed him with the presidential spoon.
Where is he, there he is.
- [Crew Member] It's me, William Henry Harrison.
Did my voice change?
I forget.
(crew laughs)
Ah yeah.
Mm. - That is ketchup.
- [Crew Member] Oh ho ho!
Yep. - You know what,
I think after you choke on a pretzel,
you never go back, so.
- [Crew Member] If I eat all my dinner,
will my dad be proud of me?
- You have to turn that spoon sideways.
(chuckling) (moaning)
- [Crew Member] Mission accomplished.
Mission accomplished.
Yeah, ah yeah.
- You gotta, just a little right there.
- [Crew Member] Now that I'm full, I'm gonna do
one of those weird paintings I do now.
(Rhett and Link chuckle)
(orchestral music)
- Here we have what appears to be pie.
- It just looks like apple pie.
- [Stevie] Why don't you give it a little taste?
- Oh, it's not apple pie, is it?
Can I have a fork there, Link so I can partake?
- There you go, you know what, I just gave you a bite.
There you go. - Oh thank you.
- [Link] What is this?
- Oh no.
- There's meat in the pie.
- This is apple pie with meat in it.
- [Stevie] In the description, it sounds kinda good.
It's salted pork apple pie.
- It's a bit odd.
Once I let it sit for a second, I could see how somebody,
in a different time, in a different time.
- Yeah, this is a long time ago.
- Would be into this.
- Somebody's getting, now Van Buren has always been
a favorite of mine because of his sideburns.
- [Crew Member] Yep, that's me, Martin Van Buren.
I look like that guy you see taking a little bath
in the sink at the public library.
(Rhett and crew laughing)
- That's right, and he demanded he be served
with gold spoons in the White House,
so I'm gonna, do I have a gold spoon, yes.
- You do, you do. - Okay, Martin.
I'm gonna serve you-- - I also ate all my meals
in a golden corral.
(crew laughing)
- Oh you look ready for it. - Oh yeah!
I'm starving.
(Link chuckles)
(lips smacking)
- Just open real wide. - Oh okay!
Whoa, mm!
All right, I love a meaty dessert.
(Rhett laughs)
- All right Rhett, what do you think?
- I think that this is, when I think salted pork,
I just think that this is a good old,
like the first president, going all the way back to,
what's more America than apple pie?
- You talking about Coolidge?
- [Crew Member] Right that's me, George Washington.
Little known fact, I sounded like someone doing
a bad JFK impression.
(crew laughing)
(coughs)
Mm, oh, yeah.
- Yeah, that's the first time you've had that
in a long time. - Oh yeah.
Yeah, Martin Van Buren called me
and said it was really gross and he was right.
(chuckling)
(orchestral music)
- All right.
- Ooh, so we got simple strawberry waffle
with some whipped cream on it.
- [Stevie] There's a little not whipped cream.
- Okay, all right, I guess I gotta find out.
- What is it?
Is that mayonnaise?
- Yogurt. - Oh, good.
- [Stevie] No, sour cream.
- Sour cream. - Sour cream?
- Sour cream as we call it.
- I always knew there had to be something a little bit wrong
with you to make it all the way through the presidency.
- Well listen to this.
Calvin Coolidge reportedly enjoyed having
petroleum jelly slathered on his head
while he ate breakfast in bed.
He thought it was good for his heath.
Calvin, I think this is you, buddy.
- [Crew Member] That's right guys,
I'll give it the old Coolidge try. (laughs)
(Rhett chuckles)
- So you put petroleum jelly on your head
when eating breakfast?
- [Crew Member] Yeah.
Little known secret, that was kind of a sex thing for me.
(crew laughing)
Oh boy.
Mm!
- Okay and there we go. - Yeah, all right!
- Okay, now.
(Link chuckles)
Not just because I wanna hear more from Calvin Coolidge.
- Oh really? - But also I think
you're right about that.
- Coming back for more, huh?
- Hey Calvin, tell us a little bit more about
that breakfast in bed.
- [Crew Member] Oh you know, I just made up some junk
about it being healthy and then I had to have a series
of secret service men slather me with jelly.
(moans)
- Then what did you do with that lathered up head?
- You'll have to buy my book--
(Rhett laughs) To find out.
(orchestral music)
- What do we got here? - Here we go.
Some sort of goulash.
What is this? - Can I have a spoon there?
It's like a corn soup.
And it looks like we also have--
- It's vegetable soup with huge friggin' croutons in it.
Look at that crouton.
- [Stevie] No, I think you need to take a deeper bite.
- It's a little chewy but what is it?
- [Rhett] Deeper, oh yeah, there's some meat.
What's that meat?
- I got the meat.
- [Stevie] Playing a little mini game of what's that meat.
- Chicken?
I don't know, skunk. - Alligator, alligator.
- [Stevie] This is squirrel stew.
- Oh, you hungry, presidents?
- Squirrel stew and then--
- Squirrel? - No!
- [Crew Member] No!
(crew laughing)
- Squirrel stew.
Okay so this is a old timer.
- [Stevie] That's hard cider.
- A hard cider and some squirrel stew.
Davy Crockett was not a president, right?
- I will say that squirrel-- - Is good.
- Is delightful. - Yeah.
I'm definitely not complaining about it.
- Yeah.
- But who would eat it?
- Now Gerald Ford, he was a model for Look Magazine.
- But he doesn't look like a squirrel stew man.
I don't mean that as an insult, Mr. Ford.
- [Link] No, I think he does.
- Who would eat squirrel-- - Open wide, Ford.
- [Crew Member] Ah!
- [Link] Get yourself some squirrel stew.
- [Crew Member] Ma, there's lust in my heart
for that stew.
Did I say that?
Anyway.
- All right, I got a good bite for you
that's full of squirrel.
- Is that your guess?
Are you guessing the Ford man? - Sh'yeah.
- Sh'yeah!
- There it is, that's my guess.
- Can I guess somebody I've already guessed?
- No, you can switch later.
- Okay, well, I actually feel pretty good about
Martin Van Buren just given,
that looks like a man who would eat some squirrel stew,
does it not?
- [Crew Member] That's true, but I prefer to eat them raw.
I catch them in the park with my bare hands!
I love to feel skulls crack, oh yeah.
Yeah.
- [Link] Take a little.
- [Rhett] Wash it down.
- [Link] That's squirrel pee.
(burps)
- Oh God. (laughing)
- [Crew Member] All right!
I'm pre-gaming for later.
(both laughing)
- Okay Stevie, let us know how many we have right
and give us an opportunity to switcheroo.
- [Stevie] Okay, Link, you have zero right.
- Okay, all right.
- [Stevie] But Rhett, you have also zero correct.
- Oh gosh! - This is a tough game.
- Oh man!
- All right, so, this ketchup and cottage cheese.
I actually feel like that's his dad.
I feel like I was in the right place, so,
I'm saying that that's his dad and then the cheeseburger--
- [Rhett] I think this is George Washington.
- Cheeseburger pizza I think is Nixon.
And then, let's see.
For the pancake, sour cream--
- Salt pork pie is this guy.
- I think that's Ford,
and then I think that the squirrel is Coolidge.
- I think Coolidge did the weird cottage cheese
and I think that...
- Herbert Walker?
- No. - Oh yeah.
- [Rhett] I had it up there so you're gonna be wrong--
- I'm gonna be wrong so I gotta go.
- Did you say that Bush was, no, Bush is cheeseburger pizza.
- [Link] Switch is complete.
- [Stevie] All right here are what the
presidents actually liked.
- Okay.
- [Stevie] President Richard Nixon's favorite food
was cottage cheese with ketchup.
(Link groans)
- Okay.
- [Stevie] President Martin Van Buren's favorite food
was not here today.
President George Washington's favorite food
was also not here today.
(Rhett groans)
President William Henry Harrison's favorite food
was squirrel stew and hard cider.
- Didn't get that one. - Nope.
- [Stevie] President H.W. Bush's favorite food
is not here today.
President Calvin Coolidge's favorite food
was pork apple pie. (Rhett moans)
- We suck, man.
- [Stevie] President Gerald Ford's favorite food
was waffles with strawberries and sour cream.
- Oh! - Yes!
- [Stevie] And President W. Bush's favorite food
is cheeseburger pizza.
- Oh, and we tied.
