- Today we burn our mouths for geography.
- Let's talk about that.
(alarm rings) (playful theme music)
(fire blasts)
Good Mythical Morning!
- Mythical Beasts, all of our episodes are brought to you
by us as well as our hard-working crew,
as well as a tiny werewolf that lives in my ear
and tells me to say stuff.
But today's episode is also brought to you
by Google Pixel 3. - Yes.
- The Pixel 3 has a ton of new and upgraded features
that make it an awesome, easy to use smartphone.
- It has so many great features, in fact,
that we wanted to try some of them in action
and of course, we wanted to find a way
to be competitive about it and of extra course,
I wanted to be competitive about it in a game
that Link is in all likelihood going to lose.
- Okay I am not gonna argue with you about that
because yes we are indeed throwing darts at a big map!
Hello, Chase. - Hi.
- [Rhett] Look alive, Chase!
- And tasting some international foods which traditionally,
you have been better at. - Right.
- But I'm feeling like today is my day.
- Okay we're gonna find out because just as Pixel 3
makes every day more extraordinary, so does hot sauce!
It's time for--
♪ Where in the world do these ♪
♪ International hot sauces come from ♪
- [Rhett and Link] Sponsored by Google Pixel 3.
- Okay we're gonna taste a hot sauce
then we're gonna guess where that hot sauce originates
and throw a dart-- (mimics dart whooshing)
At that place, I'm not holding a dart.
- You never know with you, sometimes,
you grab 'em secretly.
- Chase will measure who is closest to that place.
And the lowest cumulative distance overall wins.
- Now you usually have a lifeline to kinda even things out.
We're gonna do a slightly different lifeline
because you're gonna be able to use Google Lens
on Pixel 3 which is actually gonna enable you
in a round of your choice, to just take a picture
of the hot sauce in question
and it will tell you where it's from.
How's that for a lifeline?
- I gladly accept that.
- Okay, let's do this.
(flames crackling) (mellow music)
- All right we got some hot sauce here.
- This is green. - We've got a man with--
- Oh! - What did you do?
- [Rhett] I poured it on the desk.
- I hope it's not too hot. - Okay.
(crew laughs)
Oh!
- Ooh that's a tangy sauce, is it not, my friend?
- It is a very tangy sauce, my friend.
- (chuckles) Now we got darts here, my friend.
- I got my own darts. - Who's gonna dart first?
You know what, I'd love for you to go first.
Just because-- - Oh!
I'd love for me to go first too.
- 'Cause you're my friend and it would give me an advantage.
I need all of those I can get.
- This is going to be a difficult game.
- It'd be great on a burrito.
I'm not trying to give you a hint here.
- Could you slide, Clyde? - Sure.
- To me it has a taste like you might taste
at a restaurant where you would get a burrito.
I do see what you're saying, it has like a--
- Like that green tabasco.
- Like a picante-ishness. - I put that on a burrito.
- I honestly don't know what kind of hot sauces
they have in New Zealand or any part
of the world over there.
Because it doesn't have like a Szechuan
taste to it.
- Just throw the dart.
- I just feel like I should play defensive.
I know this is a little bit of a chump move.
- You're going for Tunisia, huh?
- I'm just aiming Tunisia and hoping for the best.
Not the first time I said that (chuckles).
(crew laughs)
Oh! (Rhett laughs heartily)
- You hit Tunisia!
This sauce, my friend, is from Mexico.
Where burritos are born. (chuckles)
- [Rhett] Whoa, how 'bout Estonia?
- Exactly.
Or Estonia. - Uh-huh, right.
- Yeah.
- [Stevie] Okay guys.
You just tasted Muso Hot Yuzu Sauce from Japan.
- [Link] Japan?
That is a-- - And muso is a Japanese
citrus fruit that tastes like a cross between an orange
and a lime so it's probably where that tanginess
was coming from. - Probably.
- Oh yeah. - It says from Japan
right on the bottle, okay.
- All right Rhett, you had 37,
and Link, you were 47.
- Oh gosh. - Pretty close.
- Sorry.
- Pretty close though. - Pretty close.
- Pretty close.
(flames crackling) (mellow music)
- Oh look, comes in the same bottle, this sauce.
- This is the mass bottle of not knowing where it's from.
This is a thicker sauce. - And a redder sauce.
- [Link] Well it's orange.
- Which is more red than green.
- Can't argue with that.
Okay yeah, I'm not gonna eat all of that, it's--
- If I've ever said anything,
it's orange is more red than green.
It has a baby food, oh, whoa!
- That's exactly what I was thinking.
Baby food consistency.
- Don't give this to your baby.
Okay that's hot. - And it's coming out the nose
but again this is some sort of fruit that produces something
close to red.
- Fruit that produces something that's close to red.
All right, how does that inform your dart throw, Link?
- [Link] Trinidad and Tobago, that's a lot of names
for such a small place.
(crew laughs)
- True dat. - I wonder what kinda
orange fruits they got there.
You know, Ghana is speaking to me.
- What is it saying?
- Throw at me. - Oh, okay.
- I have no reason except--
- If Ghana speaks, you should listen.
- If I miss, I'm gonna miss to the left.
I'm going for the O in Tobago honestly.
Oh, a little high.
Okay, you have any insight into this baby food concoction
of boiling heat?
- All I can say is, last time I aimed for Tunisia
and hoped for the best and it worked out.
If it ain't broke,
don't fix it. - Come on man,
be emphatic.
Where do you think it's from?
- I'm not emphatic, I'm lymphatic.
I'm aiming at Tunisia.
- You think it's from Tunisia?
- No I have no idea but Tunisia's calling my name.
(chuckles) - Don't be a wuss, man.
(Rhett grunts)
- Oh I hit a sea, a sea of sorts.
- [Stevie] You just tasted Dona Isabel Aji Amarillo
hot sauce from Peru.
- Peru. - Oh, what?
- [Stevie] The Aji Amarillo is the most popular
Peruvian pepper and is used in many traditional dishes,
sauces and salsas.
- [Link] So it is a yellow hot pepper.
- It has a llama on it, has it got llama milk in it?
No answer. (crew laughs)
Okay we don't have that information.
What about the measurements, Chase?
- Link, you had 26.
Rhett, you had 39.
- Yes! - Oh I just fell behind.
- Woo-hoo-hoo!
- Problem for the Rhettster.
(fire crackling) (mellow music)
All right. - Ooh, smell it.
Trouble. - Yeah, that's a hot pepper.
- Go easy. - That's the smell of death.
- Of course we have to taste it
before we can formulate a guess.
- Naturally. - I'm going so light.
- Go so light. - Oh gosh.
Okay now before we taste this,
we're gonna use photobooth mode on the Google Pixel 3
to take some selfies to capture our hot sauce face
which is the moment the flaming hot sauce
hits our lips, okay?
- Okay. - It's not like
we're already filming it but a selfie
would be pretty special.
- (chuckles) Very special.
- Okay so here's the thing.
In photobooth mode, you can snap a selfie automatically
when you smile and make certain facial gestures
like the aforementioned hot sauce face.
So I'm gonna double-tap the power button
and then within the camera app, I'm gonna go to more,
and then click photobooth
and then I'm just gonna hold this out in a selfie place,
you know, which is out here, this is my selfie place.
And then you're gonna tap that magic blue button
and then we're gonna eat it and then it's gonna know
we wanna do a selfie, dink it.
Oh no (groans).
- Okay. - Oh got a few.
Okay, I'm sweating like crazy.
- Woo!
- Oh! - That's hot.
- All right so-- - I'm going first?
- Wherever this is, they like it hot.
- Okay this is actually causing some PTSD symptoms for me.
You remember what happened to me when I had that
Trinidad scorpion pepper? - Yes, oh.
- And I laid back there.
I'm giving you, I'm giving this to you.
You can follow me all the way to Trinidad and Tobago
because that thing hurt me so bad.
- Trinidad morugo, hit it.
Oh!
You're right, man, this is freaking flashback territory.
But you didn't hit the dot, you hit the label.
- You're buying what I said, okay.
All right.
I was kinda just BSing.
- [Link] Oh!
Yes. - You just tasted
Matouk's Trinidad Scorpion Sauce.
- Ha!
Hey hey!
- [Stevie] It's made with the Trinidad moruga
scorpion pepper which as you both know
is one of the world's hottest peppers.
- [Link] It's heinous.
- I would know it anywhere.
- Oh and it looks like I was closer.
- All right Rhett, you had eight,
and Link, you had five. - Oh gosh.
- Yes!
- Falling behind.
- I still feel very bad in the mouth though.
(fire crackling) (mellow music)
This one smells hot too, man.
I'm shaking. - Now you're timid.
This one doesn't smell as hot.
- I mean it's not as hot as the previous one.
- It's a what? - It's sweeter.
It's sweeter but I can't feel my mouth anymore.
- Wow.
♪ I can't feel my mouth when I do this show ♪
Remember that song?
(Rhett chuckles)
- Yeah, I have a strong indication, but--
- Oh. - You're going first.
- Well thanks for giving me a hint
to actually try to taste it.
- Strong indication.
- This goes on fish, this has a fishiness.
I think that's what Rhett is being indicated.
- Exactly what I was thinking.
- So this, this my friends is a hot sauce from Indonesia.
'Cause there's so much fishes around all of it.
- So much fishes.
- Ho-ba-jam!
Hobajam, that's the word I just made up.
- You know, Link? - You agree?
- You know what I wasn't thinking.
This goes with fish.
I was thinking there's so much fishes around Onesia though.
Indonesia.
- That's short.
- There's so much fishes ind Onesia.
(both chuckle)
- Stupid. - Nah, man.
This has a flavor profile that I have tasted
in an Ethiopian restaurant, which is not an option,
however, it is in Africa.
- Okay so Ghana.
- It could be New Zealand.
But there's so much fishes around New Zealand, you know?
I don't wanna hit one of the fishes.
There's so many of 'em.
No, you know what-- - Go for Ghana, man.
- Ghana isn't calling my name.
You know what's calling my name again, Link?
- Trinidad? - Tunisia, man.
- Tunisia? - Yeah.
- All right.
(Rhett grunts)
Oh, you don't have to throw the dart through the board.
- (chuckles) Or maybe you do!
- That's a decent tasting sauce, from where?
- Yeah that's good, that's really good.
- [Stevie] I'm gonna butcher this, I just know it.
This is Le Phare du Cap Bon Harissa
from Tunisia.
(Rhett laughs)
- Woo!
- [Stevie] And that directly translates to--
- Dang you! - The flame of the cape.
It's a red hot pepper sauce often used to season couscous
or meats, but not fishes. - Cous cous or meat.
- Fishes ares meats.
Fish are meat too!
- It's distinctly African tasting.
- Link, you have 45 and Rhett you have six.
(crew laughing)
- Yeah yeah, six is a lot less than 45.
(fire crackling) (mellow music)
Okay Link. - Last sauce.
- Oh.
- [Link] This one looks like molasses.
- I'm getting a lot just from the smell.
- This one smells like soy sauce.
- You didn't have to say it.
- It's pretty obvious, it's not like I'm telling you
something I didn't already know.
- It's good though.
- So you gotta go first.
- Okay, this is distinctly Asian.
To me it tastes like something that you would
put into a wok (laughs) as you are frying up some chicken.
- I love it how woks make you happy.
- At a Chinese restaurant!
- Steak house! - Woo woo!
China, here I come!
- [Link] It's a big country.
Whoa, he's nailed China! - Oh, woo!
- Ooh, I hope it's not China.
But okay, I'm gonna use my special
Google Lens lifeline here.
Google Lens is a really cool feature because basically,
you can take a picture of something
and have Google tell you about it, you can take a photo
of a tree and it will tell you the type of tree that it is.
You can take a photo of a pair of shoes
that somebody else is wearing and then it will tell you
what their shoes are and you can buy yourself a pair.
So I'm gonna take a picture of the hot sauce bottle.
Mythical chef Josh, produce said bottle.
And I'm just going to double tap the power button
and in the camera app, I'm gonna long press
on the bottle here and that switches to lens mode
so let's see what Google Lens can tell me.
Indonesia.
(snaps fingers) So I still have a chance.
- Well maybe (chuckles).
- But I have to nail Indonesia
and I'm gonna do it with the hot sauce.
- Okay. - No.
(Link sighs)
- I don't know if you can make up the difference,
but here's what I'll tell you.
- [Link] There's a lot of Indonesia.
- If you can actually land on the bullseye of Indonesia,
you take it home.
You can take home the victory.
- For the win.
- Whoa! - Aw!
- Not really that close.
- Gosh.
- [Stevie] Okay so you've seen the bottle,
you know it's from Indonesia.
It's actually called--
- [Davin] Kokita Kecap Sambal.
- Stevie! - What in the world.
Was that Davin?
- I saw Davin run over to the mic.
- [Stevie] Google Lens did you right.
- [Link] I'm closer but did I win?
- Rhett, you had 19, Link you had eight.
So Rhett, you won.
- Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! - Congratulations, Rhett.
Take a celebratory selfie.
- Okay.
And you know what, Chase.
You don't even have to move because I'm going to use
the wide angle feature.
All right!
Woo hoo!
- All right, thanks to Google Pixel 3
for sponsoring today's episode.
- And thank you for liking, commenting and subscribing.
- You know what time it is.
- Hey Rhett and Link, I'm Matthew.
- I'm Sarah.
- And we're about to do a Hot Ones challenge.
But first, it's time to spin--
- [Both] The Wheel of Mythicality.
- Hot Ones is not our channel.
I'm just saying.
- Don't tell them. (Link chuckles)
Click the top link to watch us take a hot sauce taste test
with a hot sauce sommelier in Good Mythical More.
- And to find out where the
Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land.
Look like a world-class title holder
