- (PvF) You wanna write bigger?
- (laughs) Don't challenge me!
- (PvF) Today, we're trying US presidents' favorite foods,
and you'll have to guess whose it is.
- Oh my god. (laughs) - Happy birthday, Mr. President.
- That's gonna be hard. I don't even know any presidents.
- There's a lot of presidents. We've had a lot
of presidents in our time. - That's true.
- I know roughly three presidents. - Well...
- I'm not an American citizen. - I was gonna say you're new
to the country. - (both) Ohhh!
- Crust's still there. - Bread's all nice and toasted.
And the cheese is all nice and melty. - Oh, beautiful!
- (PvF) Up first, we have a delicious grilled cheese sandwich.
- I don't even remember the last time I had a grilled cheese.
- Might be one of the best grilled cheeses I've ever had.
And it's not even warm and ooey gooey.
And it's still good. - Do you know, I hate cheese
except a grilled cheese sandwich? - (PvF) Who do you think
loves grilled cheese sandwiches? Is it A, John Adams...
- Oh, get multiple choice, bitch. - (PvF) ...B, Barack Obama,
or C, Franklin Delano Roosevelt? - I already know
who I'm voting for, and that's strictly because
I would vote for him again if he ran again.
- Ooh. I don't know. I need another bite to help me
process these thoughts. - Mm.
- Is the grilled real cheese that old, though?
- I got my answer. - I do too.
- (sing-song) It's probably wrong. - Un, deux, trois, quatre!
- I'm going C. - I'm going Frank Roos.
- He's [censored] awesome, and he would love
a good grilled cheese. Who wouldn't?
- He seems like a grilled cheese kind of guy.
- Yeah, I don't know how to explain it other than that.
- I think Obama had more class than that.
- But I also thought maybe it could be C for some reason.
- I say FDR because I feel like the grilled cheese
is kind of old, so I feel like he would like it.
- (PvF) Between the 1920s and 1970s, they didn't call them grilled cheeses.
You know what they called them? - Sammy flats.
- Oh, that's what I would have said. - (snickers)
- (PvF) Cheese dreams. - Oh, that's cute! Bring that back.
- Dreams? - That's great.
- I mean, I get dreams about cheese. - Yeah.
- (PvF) According to Henrietta Nesbitt,
Roosevelt's White House housekeeper... - All right!
- (PvF) ...FDR loved a grilled cheese sandwich
in addition to other classic American food.
(buzzer) How do you feel about FDR's love
of grilled cheese sandwiches? - It feels right.
- Yeah, it does. It does. - FDR!
I don't know. It sounds about white to me.
- (snickers) - So...
- George! - (PvF) He was also the president
during the Great Depression. - I'm kind of depressed
that I didn't get this right. (laughs) - (PvF) So, next up,
we have jelly beans! - Ooh,
jelly beans. - Ohhh!
- Ooh. - Oh! I already know this one.
- I like the buttered popcorn ones. - Those are good.
- Ooh, butter popcorn. - The butter popcorn one slaps. Wait.
- (laughs) - (PvF) Jelly beans became
a regular honey candy in the 1900s and were the first confection
to be sold by weight rather than price.
So, who do you think loves jelly beans?
Is it A, Joe Biden, B, Ronald Reagan,
or C, Bill Clinton? - So, I'm sorry, one more time?
I was trying to see if Sharon's face shifted at any point,
so I could-- - (PvF) She gives away nothing.
It's a competition. - I don't know, Joe.
- I don't cheat, right? - Uh-huh.
- I'm very, um... - Heeey!
- I'm gonna go B. I don't remember who was B,
but B feels good. - B as in Bonzo?
Like Bedtime for Bonzo? - For all the jelly beans.
- All the jelly beans. - Cut!
- Reagan! - I think I might have
heard this before. - (PvF) Why do you think
it's Ronald Reagan? - 'Cause I feel like
he's the most ancient. - Yeah. I was gonna say old!
- I don't feel like Joe Biden's a jelly bean kind of guy.
- (PvF) Ronald Reagan was obsessed with the colorful snack.
- Period, period, period. - Oh, see?
- We knew it.
(buzzer) - Ahhh! We're both wrong!
- (PvF) Ronald Reagan was obsessed with the colorful snack
and, at one point, reportedly ordered more than 300,000 to be placed
around the Capitol, White House, and other federal buildings each month.
- Mm-hmm. - Seems excessive.
It's just a little excessive. - It was Reagan.
- Fair eno-- (laughs) - Three choices.
- We have to think older
I think is the point. - We each chose a different answer,
and we were still wrong. - Whoa.
- Is that ketchup and mustard? Is that pickles?!
- Yeah, there's a lot happening in this moment in time.
- (PvF) Next, we have a rather interesting creation,
the cheeseburger pizza. It's a margherita pizza
topped with bacon, beef, pickles, a sprinkle of cheddar,
and then drizzled with ketchup and mustard before serving.
- Looks like somebody found this in a dumpster.
- Mmm. - Um...
- Mmm! - Well, that's really something.
- Oh, I'm not mad at that. - Mm-mm.
- It's better than I thought, but still a little weird.
- Ooh, the pickle. - All right. Now, I gotta think
of which psycho likes this. - (laughs)
- I don't know. - Well, this kind of pizza
has to be new. So, it's definitely
not an older president. - Maybe a more current one?
- It might be Bush Jr. Nah, he's gonna go barbecue.
- (PvF) Who loves this franken food? Is it A, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
B, Herbert Hoover, or C, George W. Bush.
- I'm gonna go with my gut feeling even if I'm wrong again.
- Actually, this is like a very modern food.
- I would agree. Aww, you got some ketchup right there.
Or mustard. There you go. - Probably not him,
but I have to do it because I grew up
where his dam was built. - (PvF) You wanna write bigger?
- (laughs)
Don't challenge me! - Ready? One, two, three.
- Go. - (grunts)
- I don't know. - You just like the name George.
- She copied me. She copied me. - I know I said to go older!
- I really am just feeling like George W would be barbecue.
- (PvF) Former White House chef Cristeta Comerford told reporters
after the president left the office that George Dubya loved what he called
homemade cheeseburger pizzas. - Ooh, it would be George Dubya.
- (PvF) George W. Bush loved what he called
cheeseburger pizzas. - Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
- Yeah. - There we go!
We got one right! Hell yeah! - We got one.
- That's a weird George. - I like that more
than I thought I would have. - Oh, great. Bacon. Sure.
This is an easy one. - (PvF) Up next,
a very simple favorite: bacon.
- Mm.
- Now you spoil us.
- It would be funny if they serve it to us raw.
- Ew! - "He liked it raw."
Eat it. - (laughs) Stop.
- Some good bacon. Everybody likes bacon.
- Yeah! - (PvF) Was it A, Abraham Lincoln,
B, Grover Cleveland, or C, George Washington.
- I know this one. - Can I phone a friend?
- The answer is A, B, and C. - Oh, that would be a twist.
- Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. - Mm.
- You never go wrong with bacon. - I love bacon.
- I'm gonna go with C, George Washington
because it's my name.
- My boy Lincoln, I'm gonna say is a bacon lover.
- I feel like it could be any of the three, but...
- I did mine off alliteration. - I did mine
'cause I hadn't written C yet. - Fair.
- (laughs) - (PvF) It was actually
Abraham Lincoln. (buzzer)
- Dammit! - Honest Abe loved his bacon.
- P-p-p-p-pow! Pow! Pow! P-p-p-pow! - You are killing it!
- (PvF) He was a reliably hearty eater and very fond of bacon.
- Go off, Abraham. He was tall too.
- (PvF) The phrase "bringing home the bacon"
originated back in the 12th century when a church in England offered
a side of bacon to any man who could swear before the church
that he had not fought or quarreled with his wife
for a year and a day. - Okay, that's kind of cool.
That's something new I learned. - Ooh. I don't know who,
but me li-- no. - No.
- Is that cottage cheese? - No thank you.
You can take that one back. - (PvF) Now for something
a little stranger: cottage cheese and ketchup.
- That's disgusting. - Mmm, delicious.
This president was probably evil. - Which psychopath is the one
that actually likes this-- - This is the real--
- (both) This is the real psychopath. - If it was strawberry jam,
I could maybe be intrigued. - Who eats this together?
I like cottage cheese but not with ketchup.
- Ooh. Oh, the juice. - I don't think cottage cheese.
- Yeah, that's disgusting. - Oh, that's just gonna be
like a loogie. - Mmm.
- Ugh. - For a hot second, I thought maybe.
Then it became a no. - It's not good.
- No. Uh-uh. - Tell me the three psychopaths
that I have to pick from. - Is it A, Donald Trump...
- Oh, probably. - (PvF) ...B, Richard Nixon,
or C, Ulysses S. Grant? - This seems like something
that Trump would like. - (both laugh)
- I don't think it's He Who Shall Not Be Named.
- Ha! - I'm just going just because
it was already in my head. - Oh yeah.
- One, two, three.
- I'm gonna go Nixon. - I did B.
- Me too. - Oh!
- (PvF) Our favorite Futurama president, Richard Nixon...
- Oh yeah! - All right!
- (PvF) ...loved cottage cheese and ketchup.
- Yeah. - Of course.
- Yeah! - Oh! You caught up with the--
- That's how I ketchup on-- - You ketchup.
- (PvF) Richard Nixon's unusual favorite of cottage cheese
and ketchup would raise eyebrows any time of the day,
but the president especially liked it for breakfast.
- Ew. - Breakfast?!
- (as Nixon) I am not a crook. I just eat [censored] food.
- (makes strange grunts) - (as Nixon) I am not a chef.
(laughs) - (makes strange grunts)
- All right! - Ooh.
- Now we're talking. - I can respect this president.
- (PvF) Finally, we have a gooey bowl of mac and cheese.
- See, this might be my favorite president now.
- Mmm! - Upper echelon of mac and cheese.
You know, this is what they'd serve in the White House.
- With the bread crumbs? - That is what's up.
- Do the hustle. - ♪ (both hum) ♪
- (PvF) Who loved mac and cheese? Was it A, Thomas Jefferson,
B, Jimmy Carter, or C, Woodrow Wilson?
- I think this is who it is. But I think you shouldn't go with me
because I haven't been doing a good job.
- I'm thinking about it too much. - I think don't go with me.
- I'm thinking about it too much. I'm gonna go with whatever
sounded more pleasant to me. - I think it's Carter. Ow.
- Think it's Jefferson.
- I don't know. I guessed again. Is that bad to say?
- You think it's Thomas Jefferson? - I feel like it's a little bit old.
- It's old, but I don't know. - 'Cause it could be anyone.
Anyone loves mac and cheese. Who doesn't love mac and cheese?
- Thomas Jefferson, our third president
in the United States, discovered macaroni...
- HELL YEAH! - Thomas Jefferson spoke to me
through this mac and cheese! - Damn. I am so proud of myself.
- (PvF) He is credited with popularizing the dish
mac and cheese in the United States
after he brought it back. That said, while he's widely credited
for popularizing it, that's a whitewashed
version of history. It was actually his enslaved chef,
James Hemings, who learned to make the dish and is, of course,
the one who labored to prepare it and cook it.
- I mean, Jesus criminy, guys. Do you have to-- ugh.
- Yes. - Do we have to steal everything?!
- Yes. - (PvF) In fact, mac and cheese
is a celebrated food for Blacks in the south
long before Jefferson ever caught wind of it.
- Absolutely. - Whoa, that's crazy.
- I am not surprised. Sounds about white to me yet again.
- (laughs) George. - (PvF) Izzy, you are six for six
and our winner today! - I mean, you flat nailed that!
- So, George is a loser basically. - Honey, losers are hot people.
Losers are hot.
