- Is cold food hot better than hot food cold?
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy electronic music)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Tour alert!
We're playing live across the country in June,
September, and November with VIP meet and greets too.
You can get your tickets at RhettAndLinkLive.com.
- Many foods are associated with an optimal temperature.
For instance, I like my coffee piping hot
and my Snickers ice cold
and my deviled eggs room temperature.
But what if we made like over zealous male cheerleaders
and flipped those temperature expectations on their heads.
Oop.
Are we on the brink of discovery?
Or about to get nauseous?
It's time for
♪ 'Cause you're hot and you're cold ♪
♪ You're food and you're gross ♪
♪ Food temperature swap ♪
♪ Please make the taste stop ♪
- Now this experiment is all about taking foods
that are usually eaten cold and serving them piping hot
and vice versa. - Okay.
- So a few weeks ago, we posted a series of hot cold food
versus cold hot food match-ups and you voted
on what you thought we would like better, meaning,
you voted in a sense to predict what we would enjoy
and now we're gonna find out if you're right.
- Yeah we're gonna score you so you are gonna get
a point for each round that the majority
of you guessed correctly what we would prefer
and if you get three or more points,
we'll deliver a personal affirmation that you can play
whenever you need a pick-me-up
but if we don't get three right, we're gonna play all
of the worst sounds in the world all at the same time
and you have to listen to it.
- Yes.
All right let's get hot and cold.
(upbeat music)
Cold eggs and hot guac.
Sounds like Migos ad-libs.
Cold eggs!
- Hot guac!
Hot guac!
- I know you're not gonna, you wouldn't like these
if they were hot but you know what, you've gotta test it.
- Because of that yolky, uncooked eyeball part.
- You've gotta eat from the yolk part.
You gotta put the whole thing in your mouth.
- Fine I'll go all the way.
- [Rhett] It actually stays pretty gelatinous.
It's staying together. - See the fact that
I don't like this, maybe it's because it's hot.
So cold.
Uh-uh.
- To me this just tastes like eggs that
when I got too big of a breakfast,
like when I went someplace
and I ordered like cowboy breakfast.
I feel like a cowboy today and then I've got like
two pancakes, five sausages, seven slices of bacon,
a biscuit, toast.
Grits, oh, I got eggs and I remember I got eggs
and then I eat 'em and they're cold.
They're good, I like it.
- Really?
- All that to say I like it.
- The point is, I do eat my eggs first
'cause you don't want 'em to get cold, kinda like fries.
- Yeah. - That's not great
but hot guac, could this be worse?
No chips, just spoons.
- This tastes like some kinda, you can tell me
that was some sort of dip or soup.
There's nothing bad about that at all.
- I don't mind this at all.
- I like both of 'em so if you don't mind that one,
the choice is clear. - You like both of 'em?
- I'd rather have hot eggs.
I don't prefer cold eggs.
- So we've got our temperature here.
- But that's like a whole new creation that I'm into.
- You're calling this something new.
- Yeah hot guac is a thing-- - Hot-a-mole?
- That I might do now. - All right so we're voting
for hot-a-mole.
- [Stevie] Okay so 64% of the Mythical Beasts
thought that you would like hot guacamole better
so they get the point. - You guys get a point.
That's very good. - Congrats.
(upbeat music)
- Hot Sprite and cold bone broth.
Sounds like two SoundCloud rappers.
- You heard about Hot Sprite?
- Yeah he never goes anywhere without Cold Bone Broth
hypin' him up. - Yeah.
And he's so lofi, that's what I love about him.
- We should clarify, we were talking
about the room temperature stuff last round
but this is really hot and oh my gosh,
that is really cold so out of the fridge.
- They're hot and cold.
For real. - Out of the piper.
- That's not bad, it's like, again,
because it became hot and not just warm--
- If you think about it-- - It seems like
it's something else, if you were like,
do you know that in Switzerland, they have this sugary drink
and it's hot and it's like you come off of the ski slopes
and they give it to you and you take your gloves off
and you drink it and it's really the best thing
that I've ever experienced.
- But you can't call it hot Sprite, you gotta market it.
You gotta call it like--
- I think it's just hot Sprite but they call it--
- Spasel.
- Spasel, yeah. - Spasel.
- You enjoy it with some wassail.
- All right now this is-- - I like that.
- This is gonna be really fun.
- I typically don't enjoy cold congealed fat.
- [Link] What is that?
That's what the white stuff on top is?
- Yeah, now your wife, you know your wife--
- I know her. - Brought me a gift.
- I've heard of her.
- Do you know that when I got sick recently,
your wife texted me.
She texts me a lot, I don't tell you always but--
- Okay. - She texted me and she said,
"Do you need any bone broth?"
She brought me bone broth and set it,
I said, "Just set it on the step
"because I don't want you to get sick."
It wasn't cold though.
Did you know your wife is giving me bone broth?
That's really what I wanted to bring up.
- Yeah when I got home, she told me.
She's like, "I did something nice for Rhett,"
and I was like, "You sure?"
(Rhett laughs)
- [Stevie] It's better than you giving her bone broth.
(Rhett chuckles) - Oh gosh.
- It's not broth.
- Let's just taste this, shut your mouth.
(crew laughing)
- That's real tough to do.
- But it's not that it tastes bad,
but temperature has so much to do with the experience
that it's like-- - Well the congealed fat is--
- Yeah that's just wrong. - But you should probably--
- [Link] Wash it down with some spasel.
- Get a spoonful of the congealed fat
just to make an accurate, you want to be as fair
to the Swiss people-- - I mean if you mix it
in here, then I might be able to do it.
- That was not necessary. - That was not good.
- I think we're both in agreement,
hot spasel is our preference.
- [Stevie] Okay so I think this is gonna get harder,
but yeah 65% of the MBs
thought you would like hot Sprite more.
- You mean spasel?
- [Stevie] Yeah so that means they get another point.
- All right, you guys are great at predicting.
(upbeat music)
I'll try some KFC cold but a Whopper with cheese?
I don't know, and how about some hot banana split?
Let's try that first.
- I kinda feel like everything that's hot might be better.
Let's start here at the most hotness.
- Dig, I'm gonna get a little banana.
This just seems like a molten, you know,
some kind of actual dessert.
- Dink it.
- Oh man that's good. - Mm.
- It really is.
Do we just like all hot foods, is that what we're learning?
- I like hot foods. - We should be heating
everything up. - And it's not like
I'm cold either.
Open the Whopper though.
I don't wanna-- - I know that's good.
- Yeah you just ate it.
- [Rhett] So I don't need to eat it again,
I just kinda wanna eat it out of habit.
- It's kinda hard.
I mean you used to freeze a freezer full
of Big Macs-- - Yeah but then I would--
- And eat those in college. - I would heat 'em back up.
I didn't eat 'em cold.
- You're never tempted just to
eat it out of the freezer?
- I like both of these.
(crew laughs)
- You know why it's not bad?
Because it's not.
I feel like it's kinda like if you pack your lunch
and bring it to school and you have a sandwich,
my mom would put something really cold
like a really cold pudding--
- And it gets next to your sandwich.
- And then you put your sandwich next to it
and it would make it cold. So this makes me think of my mom.
- Well and a lot of times if you do like a cold cuts
and cheese sandwich, it's cold from the beginning
and it just stays cold all day so this is kinda like that.
It's like a roast beef sandwich.
- Mom, you're like a cold Whopper to me.
- But I prefer a hot Whopper.
I don't want a cold Whopper.
Don't be givin' me cold Whoppers now.
- That's--
- All you Burger King employees that I see all the time.
- We're not discovering something over here
is what Rhett's saying but I feel like
maybe we have something. - This is a new dish
that the Swiss enjoy.
Really after a long day of snowshoeing,
they like to come in off of the slopes,
well no actually there's no slopes
because it's just flat.
'Cause this is where they're doing the hiking,
this is just the hiking. - Yes?
- So after you've done a non-slope
(chuckles) snow day.
- You eat a--
- A hot-- - Snow, it's a snow day.
Like a Sunday.
- A banana spasel.
- A banana snow day.
- I don't know what it is.
- Well we're voting for it because we love it.
That's the point. - That's very good.
- [Stevie] Okay this was also a close one
for the Mythical Beasts.
But 51% of them thought that you would like
the hot Dairy Queen banana split better.
- Dang!
- [Stevie] So that's another point.
- Barely got it right.
- That means they already got their three points.
- You got your inspiration.
- You're gonna be inspired, let's see if you can get,
if you can get a queen sweep, we'll be extra inspiring.
(upbeat music)
- I'm a cold clam chowder in the streets,
and a hot coleslaw in the sheets.
Let's eat it. - I don't even wanna know
what that means so we're going with the hot coleslaw first.
- [Link] Look at this, this is like a layered,
the top of this, there's a film on it.
- [Rhett] Yeah it filmed up.
- That's just like coagulated mayonnaise.
- [Rhett] Oh, it does not smell good.
- [Link] It's very hot too.
- It really isn't bad.
- It is a weird dish but it's a new dish.
- But couldn't-- - It's not hot slaw.
- You still could think that somebody had made you
like a recipe of some kind.
- Hot slawsel.
- Yeah, you know when the Swiss get through
with a long day of banking.
(Link chuckles)
They're just counting money all day,
they got tired fingers. - Mm.
- I need some slawsel.
- Why is that good?
I just can't tell you but it is.
- Coleslawsel.
This is not gonna-- - Cold clam chowder.
I would suggest thinking of this like potato salad.
Really runny cold potato salad.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- But instead it's kinda like dog food.
- Your Jedi mind trick actually helped me.
- It did?
- Yeah.
But it tastes like, I think the potato salad's bad,
you know what I'm saying, like--
- Yeah, so--
- [Rhett] Hot slawsel, man.
- We're discovering that the test is when you can discover
or at least convince yourself that there is a new dish
and that's what's happening here.
- And usually it's a hot dish.
- With hot slawsel.
- Are we going hot every time?
- [Stevie] I mean guess what.
The Mythical Beasts also went hot as well
on this one with 57%.
- Not an obvious choice. - So again, another point.
- Good work, guys. - I think we're learning
something about us and you today.
We like it hot.
(upbeat music)
So now we're flipping one of my favorite childhood snacks,
the vodka martini served piping hot
versus one of James Bond's favorite indulgences,
the Hot Pocket served ice cold.
Get it? - Oh.
(Rhett chuckles)
- Switcheroo. - You did the Swiss--
- Times two. - Swiss switcheroo
which is a double switcheroo.
- The Swisseroo. - Exactly.
You like a martuni. - I do.
- Did I say martuni?
- That's a martini with tuna in it which I also like.
Not that, not this.
- I don't--
- I like a really, really, really, really dirty--
- Do you like 'em cold though? - Martini.
I like it so nasty, so dirty.
- Do you like it cold is all that matters here though.
- Yeah.
- It's kinda like a hot toddy, hot toddtini.
- Oh gosh.
There's nothing sweet in a martini which is why I like it.
(crew laughs)
But when you make something this not sweet this hot.
(Link moans)
It is rough, boy!
- We no longer like it hot I don't think.
- So hold on so that didn't work.
That seems like a mistake. - Wow.
- Now those of you who may remember Hezekiah,
our intern way back when, his nickname was Hot Pocket
because he would take a cold Hot Pocket
and put it into his cargo pants pocket--
- At the beginning of the day.
- And warm it up with his body heat and eat it for lunch.
- Yeah. - So this is like
if you interrupt-- - And walk out the door,
put it in his pocket and then around,
he said around like 11 a.m.
- Yeah so this is like a Hezekiah breakfast.
This is like, ah, I gotta eat my lunch early today.
This is straight out the freezer.
So I'm gonna go for the middle bite
to get as much, I'm corn cobbin' it
so I can get as much of the real ingredients.
- That's what I was thinking too.
- I don't mind this.
I mean again, I don't prefer it this way.
It doesn't seem like a new dish.
It definitely seems like somebody didn't fully warm up
their Hot Pocket with their body heat.
- But cold meat, cold cheese, and cold pocket.
- Altogether kinda works.
- The main problem with Hot Pockets is that you might
burn your face off trying to eat it if you're really hungry
so this-- - Right nobody's gonna get
injured by this. - This is also much safer.
- So our first cold preference is the cold Hot Pocket.
- [Stevie] Oh and I have bad news for the queen sweep
because the Mythical Beasts went 52%
that you would like the hot martini better.
- It's horrible, guys.
- You can't be that right all the time.
But you guys were pretty dang good,
four out of five predicting what we, you know what,
you've been watching closely, haven't you?
- You're reading us like a book
and now we're gonna inspire you like a,
like a person who is good at inspiring people and talking.
Extemporaneously.
- You know one of the things that you're good at?
You're good at predicting what two guys
are going to like on their internet show
when they're trying to figure out if they like something
that was traditionally cold hot and traditionally hot cold.
- You probably-- - You're good at that.
- You probably predicted that I was also about
to just start wavin' my right hand.
You knew I was gonna do that, didn't you?
That's 'cause you're good at that.
- And then you knew that I was going to encourage Link
to finish off this cold Hot Pocket
and he's gonna have to do it because he came up
with this bit. - And you knew
that I was gonna eat it all but in kind of a fakey way,
like (moaning).
And you also knew that I wasn't gonna be good at it.
Because you're great. - And that's why
we love you.
- You can make it.
- You're going to make it.
You have made it, let's get real.
- When you get there, 'cause you're already there,
in Switzerland, think about us.
- Thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi I'm Tyler!
I'm from Preston, Oklahoma.
I'm doing yard work and I'm listening to Ear Biscuits.
It's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.

- [Rhett] Sick stickers, brah.
Where'd you get 'em?
- [Link] Mythical.store, brah.
- [Rhett] So sick, brah.
- [Link] Totally, brah,
I just put 'em all over my board, brah.
- So sick, brah. - Yah.
