- I've heard of pregnancy cravings, but presidency cravings?
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
- What? I wanna act weird too.
- You didn't check your calendar?
- No.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
- [Rhett And Link] Monday's President's Day!
- Which means,
It's Time to Make Some Presidential Decisions:
Who Ate Bananas and Soy Sauce?
Millard Fillmore or Bill Clinton?
- Remember this?
The wall of presidents with mouth holes is back!
Welcome, Mr. Presidents.
- Hello.
- Hello, I'm also the president.
(crew laughing)
- Okay, Mr. Presidents, welcome.
What? Who we have here?
I see Teddy Roosevelt.
Hello, President Roosevelt.
- Yes, that's right.
I famously said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
Too bad I didn't actually have one.
Oh boy.
- Ouch.
- Oh boy, self burn.
- Self burn.
And we've got Jimmy Carter here.
- Hello, that's right.
I'm Jimmy Carter.
And just to prepare y'all,
I'm probably gonna sound a lot like Bill Clinton.
(group laughing)
Oh, just prepare y'all self for that.
(group laughing)
- Okay, lesser known, Chester Arthur.
- That's right, I'm Chester A Arthur.
I was known for being assassinated
and also to be the first man to offer mustache rights.
(Rhett laughing)
- Okay, and then we've got an intense looking Eisenhower
over here.
Over here.
- Yes, that's right.
I'm Dwight D Eisenhower.
The D stands for D's nuts.
(group laughing)
- And of course, Quincy,
It's good to see you.
- John Quincy Adams.
Quincy Adams.
- Oh, JQ.
- Just to-
- Yes, as you can,
hello, I'm John Quincy Adams,
as you can probably tell from my portrait,
I was a secret Dracula.
(Rhett laughing)
(John Quincy Adams blowing kisses)
- And Clinton.
Mr. Bill, it's always good to hear from you.
- Hey, that's right.
I'm Bill Clinton.
(crew laughing)
- Yeah, we know.
- Yeah, I'm Bill Clinton, that's right.
Hey, y'all wanna hear me play the saxophone with farts?
- [Link] Not right right now, no.
- All right, I can do it.
Just say the word, I'll stick that horn up my butt.
- No, we got Herbert.
- George HW Bush.
- Yeah, that's right.
I'm George HW Bush.
That's right.
- You might need to see an orthodontist.
- That's right.
(Rhett laughing)
- And then right,
and we got behind the mic, we have a plate.
- Yeah, yeah.
- And then over here, we've got Reagan once again.
- Yes, that's me, Ronald Reagan.
- Sounds like Trump.
- I was, who's that?
I think I died before.
- [Link] Yeah.
- He became a guy, that's right.
- Before he became a guy.
- He was no guy.
- You're better off that way.
- Okay, so we did this a few years back
so we're doing it again,
'cause there's still more presidents
with weird favorite foods to be revealed.
Just like last time,
we're gonna try some weird meal or food
that should probably have never been put on a plate,
but one of these guys really liked it.
I hope they're hungry!
- Yeah, we're gonna,
we're competing against each other.
Whoever has the most correct guesses after five rounds
will be presidentially pardoned in Good Mythical More.
- Oh, nice.
- You know we both need that.
(slow military field music)
We have the presidential desk as a cloche
revealing God knows what Jello this is.
- [Stevie] This is a quote unquote salad consisting
of Coca-Cola flavored jello and black glace cherries.
Which president often requested this snack
from their White House chef?
- Oh my gosh.
- You're gonna need a knife for this, brother.
- Oh my gosh,
this is the freaking chewiest-
- [Rhett] Coke Jello with cherries inside of it?
- That is somethin'.
- [Stevie] Glace. Black glace cherries.
- Oh my goodness.
Ugh.
- How'd they get it to be so hard?
- This has gotta be one of these older presidents.
Arthur, you want a taste?
Does this seem like something you'd like?
- Yeah, good, sock it to me.
- Yeah, look at that.
Oh yeah.
- [Rhett] Wow. Oh!
- How is it?
I did not taste it yet.
- Fresh.
- It tastes like Coke.
It takes like those Coke gummies.
It's not horrible but it's not pleasant.
- I didn't know Coke made gummies.
- To me, I'm thinking that because of this is Jello.
Did they have the ability to do Jello things in-
- [Link] Certainly.
- Chester Arthur's day?
- [Link] I'm going with my gut on this one.
- I think this is Jimmy Carter, man.
He's a Georgia guy.
He likes, you know, he likes Coke products.
He's from South Georgia.
- That's right.
I was from Georgia.
I was a peanut farmer,
and that's the main two things about me.
(Rhett laughing)
- Oh.
Oh, it's like eating, you know when y'all go fishin'
and there's an artificial worm instead of a real worm?
- Yeah.
- Yep, that's like what happens when this is in your mouth.
(Rhett laughing)
- All right, we've locked in our answers.
We do not find out.
- Yeah, until the end.
- Until the very end, so let's keep going.
- Okay.
(slow military field music)
- What's goin' on underneath that desk?
- Oh, wow.
This is some pork rinds- - Pork rinds
- [Link] With hot sauce.
- [Rhett] Hot sauce.
- [Stevie] Specifically Tabasco.
So which president loved these so much
that pork rind makers once named him Skin Man of the Year?
- Skin man?
- [Stevie] Skin Man of the Year.
- Now, we have a fact sheet here,
and nowhere on this does it say anyone is skin man,
but I guess that's 'cause that would give it away.
- I feel like this is the kind of thing that like-
- Whoo, that's a little spicy.
- Eisenhower feels like a serious man.
It's got a hard edge to him.
So I kind of feel like-
- Yes, give it to skin man.
Yes, give skin man.
- [Rhett] There's a lot of skin right there.
- Bill Clinton definitely had a reputation
for not eating well.
Like I remember-
- Heck, yeah.
- You ate a lot of Big Macs, I remember back in the day.
- Yeah, gimme some of those rinds.
I hear those are hangover killers.
Oh, yeah.
- So I could see it being Clinton
but I could also see like pork rinds and Tabasco
bein' a nice Jimmy Carter, you know?
- That's right, I'll take some of those too.
Ooh.
- It's like everybody's getting some pork rinds.
- They're pretty good, huh?
I think this is a solid Clinton.
- You think it's Clinton?
- I was trying to throw you off with Eisenhower, but.
- Yeah.
- That's right.
- 'Cause he's so, I almost fed in the, sorry Bill.
- Only put food in my mouth.
Don't put non-food in my mouth.
- All right, so I think we are agreeing.
We can switch these around later, though.
- And I'm agreeing that they're very good.
- Yeah, they are good.
- The flavors are as complex as my complex legacy.

- [Rhett] What's goin' on here, Stevie?
- [Stevie] This is prune whip?
Which is a creamy, pruney dessert
that was number one in the stomach of which president?
- We're both gonna like this.
- It takes a little adjustment, but I do like it.
- Whoa!
- It's airy.
It is, it's Cool Whip but prune flavored.
- Now this feels like we're goin' back.
This feels like we're goin' back.
- What, do you pour this over it a little bit?
I don't know.
- Try it.
This feels like we might be going all the way back
to John Quincy Adams time.
Sixth president of the United States.
- Ooh yes, give me those prunes.
I've been so backed up.
- [Rhett] Oh gosh.
- [Link] It's like feeding a baby.
- That got messier more quickly than I was anticipating.
- You know, he is the first son of a president-
- [Rhett] First son of a president.
- To be a president.
- Who else might be into this?
- Seems like a little boy wanting to eat those prunes.
- Oh, Chester Arthur, though.
You know he's, back in the day.
This guy, I mean he's president from 1881 to 1885?
- He had a habit of staying up
to at least 2:00 a.m. every night.
So is this a late night snack for Arthur?
- Mm! Ooh, yes.
- If you look at the eyes while he was talking,
it really gives a disquieting effect.
(Rhett laughing)
- Don't tell me you don't wanna bust that ride later, Link.
- [Rhett] Oh gosh.
- I'm saving you a spot on my mustache.
- I've already put Arthur as my cola answer,
but because that was co-colar,
I'm gonna have to switch it 'cause I don't even know
if co-colar existed in 1885.
- Oh, it definitely did exist.
- When he was president.
- But it was just coming out.
But that's like, that is who I'm guessing because I,
because of the way he reacted to it,
he responded so-
- And I'm gonna go for some-
- Enthusiastically.
- JQA action.
- That's a good guess.
- (slow military field music)
- What is that?
Oh, like a, is this like a cheese wreath?
- It feels like a cheese thing.
- [Stevie] This is a cheese mold.
(Link sneezing) - Excuse me.
- [Stevie] Bless you.
Made of various cheeses.
(Link sneezing) Bless you.
(Link sneezing) Made with onions and mayo.
- He's allergic to cheese.
- [Stevie] Bless you.
- I think I've been snortin' the pork rinds.
- [Stevie] And made around-
- Floatin' in the air.
- [Stevie] A helping of strawberry jam.
- [Rhett] Strawberry jam?
- [Stevie] But which president
did this concoction make happy?
- [Link] I think it's gonna make-
- Man, that's good!
- [Link] It's gonna make me happy.
- I'll get the president one.
I mean, this doesn't, this feels like maybe somebody
who was president in the fifties.
- Why you say that?
- I don't know.
Cheese-ishness of it?
Like the, the mold nature of it.
Eisenhower. - Eisenhower, okay.
- Yeah, you're right.
- [Rhett] Eisenhower almost had the entire-
- You're right, you're right.
- [Rhett] Fifties to himself.
- 1953 to 1961.
- Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, yeah!
- See, you see how much he liked that?
- He was so intense.
He loved it so much,
but something tells me that-
- Did he like it too much?
- That even George W down there
would have an enthusiastic response as well.
- I'm less excited.
I've become lactose intolerant in the afterlife.
- All right, fine.
You know what?
If you don't, is it too much like broccoli?
Don't make that.
Don't make that face.
I'll give Reagan a shot if that's the case.
- Yeah, give it to me.
I can take all the cheese that loser can't.
- Well, there it went.
Every little bit of it.
- I got a little bit.
- That all you got left?
- Yep.
- That's good.
It is pretty old fashioned, though.
- And there's some that are gonna be left on the board.
So that's what's confusing.
- [Rhett] I'm going Eisenhower.
I don't know how I,
well, I didn't even think about Roosevelt.
- I was thinking about Roosevelt.
He had all types of animals as pets
including rabbits, snakes, bears, lions, and zebra.
- Did he feed 'em cheese?
- Seems like a cheese log kind of a guy.
- That's pretty tasty.
- Mm hmm.
- Maybe I should run for president.
(slow military field music)
Okay.
- And finally.
- [Rhett] Oh!
- [Link] Oh my gosh.
- [Rhett] What the?
- [Link] What is that?
- [Rhett] That's a frickin' eel, man!
- Ah, ah, ah!
- Is it still electric?
- Ah!
(Stevie yelping)
- No, don't get it!
- Ah!
- What you, this is the part we eat, man.
You're like drippin' the raw eel
into the stuff we're eating.
- I wanna see it.
- What?
- Look at that, look at that.
- What's wrong with you, man?
- It's, it's, it's, for-eel.
- [Stevie] This is specifically Rhode Island eel.
- [Link] Ugh.
- Link didn't get enough credit for that's for-eel.
That was hilarious.
- Thank you, President Roosevelt.
Thank you.
- I was too busy trying not to be poisoned.
- Is this crunchy?
- [Rhett] Rhode Island?
- [Stevie] Rhode Island eel.
- It's not even an island.
You know that?
(Rhett and Link crunching)
I don't mind eel, like on sushi.
- Oh, I'm actually eating the face!
I thought that was the tail!
Oh! Oh! That was the face!
- He accidentally ate the face.
- Ugh! Ugh.
I was like, I'll go with the littlest end.
- [Rhett] Okay, let me see if I can get you-
- Let's see which president is really hungry.
Who's linin' up?
- George HW Bush had a place in Maine.
- Kennebunkport.
- Which isn't that far from Rhode Island.
Maybe he snuck down there and grabbed him some eel.
- Oh yeah.
- Ah. Ugh! Oh, there's a bone!
Oh, there's a bone.
- [Rhett] How about that, George?
Just get a little meat there for you.
- Oh, oh.
- [Link] He's lost his teeth.
- Oh no, read my lips, this sucks.
(Rhett laughing)
- I'm telling you, man.
- I think, I mean, I think you should both guess me
so no other president has to taste that.
(crew laughing)
(Rhett laughing)
- Oh my gosh.
(Rhett laughing)
- That is so nasty.
- I mean, does, yeah, does any of them-
- I love the way he's lookin' out
for all the other presidents.
- Does any other president wanna step to the plate?
- He was always a selfless guy.
- Yeah, I can't do that to another one
of our presidents.
- Bring it on, baby.
- Yeah, you know what?
Clinton likes everything.
- Yeah, HW is a coward, gimme.
Ah, oh.
- Oh, that's a face too.
(crew laughing)
I think.
No, no, maybe not.
- Okay.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- So who in their right mind is gonna be eating eel?
- Roosevelt was going all across the world,
all across the country.
He loved national parks.
He loved animals.
Seems like the kind of guy that,
I mean, he once gave a speech.
Was he the one that gave a speech while being,
after being shot?
- Yeah, gave a speech in Milwaukee
immediately after being shot.
He also skinny dipped in the Potomac.
- Where he would fish for eels with his mouth!
- Yeah, I'm feelin' that,
but I've already planted there.
So I gotta go with Eisenhower and his intensity.
All right.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- We are locked in, Stevie.
Before we switch,
I would like to know how many we have right.
- [Stevie] Well Link, you have zero correct.
- That's okay.
- Okay, well-
- [Stevie] And Rhett, you also have zero correct.
- Aw, dang it!
- We have none correct?
- What was the point of this?
- So how can we be wrong-
- Let's just quit!
- On everything.
We both thought okay, this has gotta be Carter.
(military field music)
- All right, okay, so we're locked in now.
- [Stevie] All right.
Let's go through these presidents.
President Theodore Roosevelt's weird food was-
- [Link] Yep.
- [Stevie] Not here today.
- Okay, too bad, Rhett.
- [Rhett] That hurts me.
- That's why he's not speaking now.
- [Stevie] President Jimmy Carter's weird food
was the cheese mold with strawberry jam.
- [Rhett] Dang!
- Oh, we both zilched that one.
- [Stevie] President Chester A Arthur's weird food
was the Rhode Island eels.
- [Rhett] Ah.
- So we both screwed the pooch on-
- Oh yeah, we did.
- [Stevie] President Dwight D Eisenhower's weird food
was the prune whip.
- Ah!
- Man, this is tough!
- [Stevie] President John Quincy Adams weird food
was not here today.
- Not here today, not present.
- It's gonna come down to this one.
- [Stevie] President Bill Clinton's weird food
was the Coca-Cola salad.
- Oh no, okay, so you have a chance here, Link.
- Yes, I do.
- [Stevie] President George HW Bush's weird food
was the pork rinds and Tabasco.
- He's the skin man?
- Skin man.
- [Stevie] And President Ronald Reagan's weird food
was not here today.
- Dang, so we went from zero-
- [Rhett And Link] To zero!
- Both of us.
- This is why we're never gonna run for office.
Well.
- Whose fault is that Mr. Presidents?
- We all had a great time here today,
and really doesn't that mean we're all winners?
- I think the real question is
why does your breath smell like eel
even though you didn't eat any?
- I've been kissing Clinton between rounds.
Clinton and I are practicing kissing on each other.
- All right, wow.
- We're just practicing kissing for other situations.
- Yeah.
- For, for ladies.
Yeah.
- You never know.
- All right.
Well, we did the best we could and it was horrible.
