- Today we ask the age-old question: - Will it Hot Pocket?
Let's talk about that.
♪ (theme music) ♪
- Goooooooood Mythical Morning! - A few weeks ago, we asked you
Mythical Beasts to give us suggestions for what we could use to replace the crust of
Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets, and now we're doing it on this very special
- episode of Will it Hot Pocket? - Um, I was super, super encouraged by
your participation. Mythical Beasts, thank you for submitting thousands of crust
- replacement suggestions. You get it. - Many of you actually made hashtag
#WillItHotPocket suggestions on a personal photo of mine of the North Carolina sunset
- on Instagram, so... thanks for that. - You know you're into something when
sunsets are eclipsed by the question of Will it Hot Pocket?
Yes. You took this very seriously, and thank you for that.
Let's not delay this amazingness anymore. Today, thanks to your suggestions and with
the 100% Angus beef and real cheese from these Hot Pockets, we ask...
(both, over dramatic music) Will it Hot Pocket?
- We had to get creative with these crusts, - Yes.
because you were very creative with your suggestions. So kudos to you.
And we want to acknowledge the fact that many of you suggested the same things.
We just chose the first one we found. So thanks for all your suggestions, including
the first one! We're gonna get started with Jose Medina,
who suggested French toast.
(both, over dramatic music) French toast. Will it Hot Pocket?
- I got a good feeling about this one. - (laughs)
- First of all, look at this! - Nice.
All right, so you got egg-drenched bread as a... well, as a crust. And look, we've
got even some... you gotta put some syrup on this thing.
- Oh, you gotta. - Steak and cheese inside of
- French toast, man? - (Rhett) All up in the inside.
I can pre-emptively answer this question before I eat it-- Yes it will, but...
But why? Why would you wanna do that when you can bite it first?
I kinda wanna spread my butter around. Get a butter bite, buddy.
(Link) Butter bite, buddy?
- Now, how hot is this? - (Rhett) Hey buddy, get a butter bite.
You gotta kiss it to see how hot it is.
(Rhett) Hey buddy, did you get a butter bite?
Mm. Got the steak and cheese peeking through.
- Oh, man! Oh, brother! - Wow. I'll be your brother.
(Rhett) Did you get a butter bite, brother?
- Mm! - Will it Hot Pocket?
(both) Yes!
- We're off to a really, really good start! - Yeah.
Okay, this next one is a bigger question mark for me. This one is suggested by
Gatchi Tater Tots on Twitter, who says, "Why not cantaloupe?"
(both, over dramatic music) Cantaloupe. Will it Hot Pocket?
Now, cantaloupes are carvable. Whoa! (laughs) This is huge!
(Rhett) That's like the size of a regular cantaloupe, guys.
- (Link) How we gonna... - Well, there's two of us.
- (Link) It's heavy. - (Rhett) And there's one of it.
- And we're gonna go what? - This is my half, that's your half.
- Okay. We'll both hold it? - Let's just go until we get to the
steak and cheese. You let me know when you make contact. Not with me, but with the
- steak and cheese. - Okay, okay.
- Ready? - Yeah.
(Link) I'm not making eye contact.
Mm. I got a lot of cantaloupe.
I didn't get as much cantaloupe.
- Man, you're like a shark! - It's hard!
- I'm afraid to go in at this point. - (crew laughs)
Let's just take turns. You gettin' steak and cheese?
(Link) I got a hole.
(crew laughs)
It's like gettin' steak and cheese out of a coconut.
Just cut it in half, man. I'm impatient with this.
(Rhett) Don't put your fingers in the way!
- (Link laughs) This one's dangerous. - Let's just unfold it.
- (Link) Oh, goodness. - (Rhett) Oh, nice.
It looks like a natural cantaloupe that just happens to have steak and cheese
- as, like, seeds. - Look at this fruit! Yeah.
- Yeah, this is natural. - (Rhett) This is like a brunch item.
(silly voice) Martha, look at the cantaloupe.
It's warm and cheesy and steaky in there.
- (Rhett) Mm, that's good. - Will it Hot Pocket?
(both) Yes!
And now, moving along to one that I think, weirdly, makes sense. Suggested by
- Kat Rose... a pickle! - Really? You think this one...?
(both, over dramatic music) Pickle. Will it Hot Pocket?
Here they are. Whoa, these are some huge pickles!
I think it makes sense. 'Cause think about it. You put pickles on sandwiches
- that have steak and cheese on them. - (Link) Grab one.
- Like a burger, you know? - Okay.
(Link) It looks like a stuffed pepper, but it's a pickle!
You gonna go like a corn on the cob or like a normal pickle?
- I'm just gonna arh! - (Rhett) I wanna go from the side.
- Oh gosh. - There's a lotta juice. (laughs)
- I didn't even make it break through. - I didn't even get breakthrough.
- Wow! Whoa. - The pickle is strong.
It is strong, but this is, like, state fair material!
The taste is pretty good. I'll go here now.
(Link) I didn't think I would like this, but I'm in love with this.
- Really? - I'm gonna marry this.
- Oh. - (silly voice) Will you marry me?
Oh, don't do that please. But I think that the operative question is:
Will it Hot Pocket?
(both) Yes!
- Shall we move on to dessert? - Oh, sure!
Got a great suggestion from Jace PlayZ. Great name. Any name that ends in a Z.
- Yes. I've always thought that. - Great suggestion that involves cookie.
(both, over dramatic music) Cookie. Will it Hot Pocket?
- Alrighty. - Wow. So, as you can see, we basically
have created a cookie crust around the steak and cheese.
- I'm gonna try to pick mine up here. - I'm gonna try to cut mine in half.
(Link) Never had cookie and steak and cheese together.
- (Rhett) No. - What're... what're you gonna do there?
- You're picking up half, huh? - I'm just gonna bring it to my mouth.
- (crew laughs) - (Link) I'm not even getting steak and
- cheesiness yet. - I'm gettin' it. I taste all the flavors.
- They kinda come in waves. - Oh yeah.
(Rhett) And none of the waves are disagreeable.
- (Link) Mm-mm. - (Rhett) I think the problem is, by the
end of eating one of these, you've eaten, like, seventeen cookies.
- And that's a problem for who? - No person should eat seventeen cookies
- in one sitting. - Well, you can take a little break and
then come back to it. I'm gonna come back to that.
But will it Hot Pocket?
(both) Yes!
Things are about to get... interesting. Suggested by--
- Can I take a nap first? - No. You got more stuff to eat.
Suggested by Michael Wilke... smoked salmon.
(both, over dramatic music) Smoked salmon. Will it Hot Pocket?
Would it surprise you if I told you that...
- Thank you. - A, I've never had smoked salmon and I've
never desired it. But when it becomes a crust for steak and cheese, then I'm a
- little more open, but not that much. - Well, listen. You know me, I eat a lot
of things. But I'm not a fan, typically, of smoked salmon. 'Cause I can smell it
- already. It's just smoked. - It's not raw, it's smoked.
It smells like a campfire. Like, if I'm in a survival situation, I'm hip to this.
It does smell a little bit like a campfire. But Link, we're not here to
- smell it, we're here to eat it. - Where am I gonna...
Where am I gonna attack this? I think I'm gonna attack it from right here.
- Wherever you please, man. - You're liking the prospects here?
- No. - Oh, you're not? Okay, good.
I just have a positive attitude about everything.
- Good for us. - Oh, it translates to you, too?
- (Link) It does! - Okay. (laughs)
- Look at me. Look at how I'm smiling now. - Okay.
Three, two... bite.
(Rhett) Mm. Mm!
- It just doesn't look appetizing to me. - (Rhett) Can you taste the salmon?
- Eugh. - I can taste the salmon.
There's a couple of directions that it could go, and I'd rather for it to go out
- than down. - Oh, you're not gonna get it all the way
down? I mean, look, I took a nice bite, and I got-- Look at that. I got it
all the way down. C'mon, chipmunk Link! You gotta get it down.
- I don't think I can get it down. - Listen, it's gonna get worse after this,
so you better get this down.
(gags) Oh gosh. (laughs)
- Ugh. - You-- you-- you get it?
- Oh. Okay. She's gone. - (Rhett) Hey man, look. We did it.
But will it Hot Pocket?
- (Rhett) No. - (Link) Not today.
All right, this next one goes out to all y'all green thumbs out there. (laughs)
- (laughs) - You like that? You didn't expect a
- green thumb shoutout. - I didn't.
This crust was suggested by Janeth Islas on YouTube... flowers!
(both, over dramatic music) Flowers? Will it Hot Pocket?
Oh, wow. This is like a florist got ahold of some steak and cheese!
Like a special occasion. Like, oh, Link's having a baby! Yay!
Yeah! I hope not again! I got enough of those.
(Rhett) Okay, so this is like a whole sunflower on the bottom.
(Link) Eugh, it stinks! Does one of these flowers stink on purpose?
It's the bottom of the flower, dude. It's this part.
Mm. Stanky, stanky. Okay. let's just go in for a dining experience like no other.
Someone's gotta answer this question. Three, two...
(crew laughs)
Oh! (gags)
- (gags) - (crew laughs)
- I don't know if this is possible either. - C'mon, let's get it down.
- Oh, gosh! - Get it down?
Who knew flowers were such a nasty, nasty bad thing?
Mm. Yeah, I thought, oh, eating flowers...
- (gags) - Oh!
(crew laughs)
Apparently not. I don't think it's gonna happen for you, Link.
I was trying to get it down. Look at my eyes, man. They're watering.
(Rhett) You know what it's like? It's like going into a Venus--
(gags violently)
You're making it kind of tough on me, at this point.
Oh, you can do it. I'm sure you'll like it. Swallow it.
(grunts)
I'll just eat a flower... or some flower petals.
- Kinda bitter. You got it down? - Oh, look at that!
- (Link) Uh oh. - Oh wow!
Will it Hot Pocket?
(both) No!
This next one is an example of Numair Younus getting very creative... clay.
(both, over dramatic music) Clay. Will it Hot Pocket?
- This looks... - Like clay.
(laughs) Yeah. It's a brick of clay. What is this?
I'm guessing there's steak and cheese inside that brick.
- Yeah, there definitely is. - (Rhett) We should make this like that
scene in Ghost. You be Demi Moore and I'll be Patrick Swayze and I'll
- reach around and... - No, you can just be the other scene
- from Ghost where you die. - (all laugh)
- Okay, all right. So much for that. - (Link) Okay, so opening this up...
- (Link) Ooooh! - Yummy!
Like literally, ooh. Not, like, oooh!
- Wow. Steak and cheese and earth. - It's a perfect crust!
- All right, here we go. - (Rhett) Here we go.
Three, two...
- Good consistency right off the bat. - (crew laughs)
I can't tell where the steak and cheese ends and the clay begins.
- I can. - (crew laughs)
- In my mouth it's not bad. - Oh, well that's where it is.
- (all laugh) - I'm just saying, I'm pretty scared
to swallow this. Like, the top floor I'm good. Bottom floor, probably not so much.
(Rhett) It's not bad, it's just not anything. It's definitely not good.
Hold on. You swallowed it?
Holy moly!
(Rhett) Every time I get ready to swallow it, my brain will not let it go.
- (Link) Swallow it. - I can't.
- You can't do it? - (Rhett) My brain is telling my mouth
- to swallow... - It's like, don't be stupid! It's like
- ground up rocks! - And it won't do it.
- That's fine. - All right. Sorry, I'm bailing out.
So let's ask the question: Will it Hot Pocket?
(both) No.
Let's move on. Safira Dhiyani made... ah, Safira, thank you. I'm being facetious.
- Oh. - For your suggestion.
You have suggested... squid body.
(both, over dramatic music) Squid body. Will it Hot Pocket?
- Gosh. - Oh! Wow.
- Eugh. Oh wow. - (Rhett) They're kinda cute.
- Oh, gosh. - (laughs) Yeah.
- (Link) Wow, it doesn't smell good. - Yeah, it's like each one went right into
- a nostril. - (Link) Oh my.
(Rhett) It's just a cute little squid, Link.
(Rhett) It's like they just jumped out of the ocean, opened themselves up, got
some steak and cheese put into 'em, closed back up, and landed on this plate.
- (Link) Mm. It is warm. What is that? - It's his fin.
That's how it propels itself.
- (Link) Okay. I can do this. - We can't just bite into this and then
- give up within seconds. - Be like, arh-blergh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That can't happen. We're professionals. We're veterans at this.
I'm gonna bite, chew, chew, chew, swallow. I'm not even gonna think about it.
- Three... - (both) two... one.
- Oh! I can't... - (crew laughs)
Aaah! So chewy!
(gags)
You're makin' it more difficult for me!
Eugh! (gags)
I did it! I got it down, man!
- (gags) - (Rhett and crew laugh)
- Hey! Bite,chew, chew, swallow! - (gags)
You came up with it! You came up with the technique! Own it!
- Heyyyyyyyyy! - Ahhhhhhh!
- Oh! - (Rhett and crew laugh)
- Sorry. You want the rest of it? - (laughs) Oh my.
- I was thinking you would... - Put that down first?
Take the squid out of your hand first. (laughs)
- Sorry, man. - I'm glad it wasn't facing me.
Oh, man. Will... it... Hot Pocket?
(both) No.
- Woo! - I think we can all agree that we came
- nowhere close to actual Hot Pockets crust. - Right. I don't think they're gonna be
incorporating any of our ingredients into their upcoming products.
But I am perfectly happy to satisfy my hunger with actual Hot Pockets.
And thanks to Hot Pockets for sponsoring this episode.
You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Beth. - And I'm Olivia.
- And these are our bunnies, Rhett-- - and Link!
(both) And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality!
If you're into snacking and biting, you'll probably be into Hot Pockets Snack Bites.
- Check 'em out at a store near you. - Also, click through to Good Mythical
More. Imma get the crew in on this action, eatin' some of this stuff. Squid body...
I think Stevie would love to try some squid body. (laughs)
(Rhett) Link is leaving GMM to start a cooking channel called "Linkalicious."
- Rhett... - Yep?
(dramatically) I'm using my Tell You Something Uncomfortable voice because...
- Oh, I hate this voice. - I've got to tell I am starting a new
- cooking channel. You're not invited. - (silly voice) Well, I'm going to use my
voice that I use when you tell me something uncomfortable.
I'm gonna make it more uncomfortable and I'm gonna say that the name of my channel
and my show is... Linkalicious! Eat 'em up.
