Today, we’re reliving a scorcher of an episode. Whoo! Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Okay, it’s time I admit something. I’m known online as a bit of a hottie. Okay, some people are attracted to you. No, the heat is attracted to me, and I to the heat, which is why I perform so well in our hot food challenge episode from a couple of years ago. That’s what I was talking about, not the people attracted to me. And that’s why this is one of your favorite episodes. Yeah, because of the heat thing. And that’s why, because during this dark week, we’re giving you a nice Friday of Rhett’s favorite episode. Yes. Just to make him happy. It’s just to keep you a little satiated. Because this is one of our favorite things to do. We, you know, there’s so many interesting foreign game shows out there and we like to find a way to GMM ify them and bring them into our world. Let’s say foreign to us. You know, our show is foreign to a lot of people. Yes, Link. Probably to more people than it isn’t foreign to. Mm hmm. You know? Because there’s more people who aren’t in the United States. But there’s also people who watch it outside of the United States. That’s right. But most people in the world don’t know about it. So it’s foreign to them. Yeah, tell, tell more people about it. You know, about, so it won’t be so foreign. Let that be your end of your mission. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so, um, we’re gonna watch this episode, and then when it’s done, we’ll be here and we’ll tell you about how, how much fun we had watching the episode, okay? Yeah, this is, again, one of my favorite episodes. October 25th, 2022. Extreme Scorching Hot Food Challenge. Do not burn your face while watching this. Piping hot food minus utensils plus bare hands? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. My favorite universal language is definitely game shows. Oh, okay. Think about it. Countries around the world are making contestants jump through the tomfooliest of hoops, all for our entertainment, and you can understand it, no matter what the language. Yes, and to show our appreciation for such tomfoolery, we decided to find the craziest, most interesting, and dumbest game shows across the world, and over the next few months, we’re actually gonna occasionally play a few of them. Ooh! Right here on this very show that we call Good Mythical Morning, and we’re starting today with a Japanese game show. Okay, we all know all know, uh, foods that always burn your mouth. I’m talking about pizza rolls, cup of noodles, the best salads. Hashtag hot salads. But what foods are too hot to literally handle? Can they perhaps be handled? Well, after seeing a segment on the Japanese game show, uh, Gawky Notes High, I think I’m saying that correctly, uh, where contestants try to eat piping hot foods using only their bare hands, we wanted to try ourselves. So, why does Japan get to have all the fun? Can’t we have some fun here in America? Thank you for the inspiration, Gawky Notes High. What is it? It is Gawky Notes High. All right. It’s time for eating piping hot food with our hands. It’ll be great. No doubt. Quick question though. Is it too late to back out? Because I would kinda like to back out. You hate hot foods. Like, you’re always scared that hot foods are gonna burn your face or burn your mouth, like. Well, I, yeah. I don’t like to burn my mouth. That’s not something I usually shoo shoo sign up for. I don’t think anybody likes to burn their mouth, but I’ve never met anyone who is as afraid of burning their mouth as you. That’s right, because my mouth is so important. But for your entertainment, I’m gonna give this my best shot. I’m looking forward to it. Each round, we’re gonna take turns attempting to eat as much of a piping hot plate of food as we can bear, using our bare hands. And we’re gonna have this pool of lifelines that you can choose from. Oh yeah. But once we take one, that’s it. It cannot be picked again. All right. And those lifelines are, wearing latex gloves. Blowing on it. Using a handheld fan. Sucking on ice. Using finger puppets. And Josh, whatever that means. All right, whoever eats the most by weight will get to soothe their hands in a glove as cool as ice. All right, what’s on the hottest menu in town, Stevie? Well, before we reveal your first meal, we need to decide who gets the advantage of going second with a bit of trivia. Yeah. So here we go. You have white boards to write down your answer. So we’re not going at the same time? No. All right. All right. I was gonna say, I’ll just let Link go second. I mean, he’s scared. Well, the person who goes second gets to see how much food they need to beat in order to win, you know. Okay. Okay. It only takes five seconds or less for a 140 degree liquid to burn skin. How hot is the steamed milk in your average Starbucks latte? 5 seconds to burn skin. To burn, um What? I’m gonna say. All right. I went with 215 degrees because it’s gotta be hotter than 212. I thought it was hotter, too. I said 160. It’s steamed milk. You did not draw a square around your answer, so it’s, it’s, it disqualified. It’s a hundred and sixty is the answer. And that. Hundred and sixty. Look at me. It’s steam and it’s gotta be at least two twelve. It’s milk. You’ve just witnessed the best thing I’m gonna do in this episode. Okay boys, the food is hot and ready and there’s no time to waste. You have five seconds to choose your lifelines. Uh, I’ll go with blow on it. All right, let’s reveal what’s under the cloche. Dang, you got quite a hot spread. There’s three minutes on the clock and they start right now. Is it hot? Is it real hot? Oh gosh, it’s hot! Is it hot? It’s hot, too. Yeah, if you spit something out, it’s gotta go back on the plate. I can’t even bite into it. Is it hot? It’s hard. It is hot. Is it real hot? I feel like I’m eating a human leg. Ew, gross. Is that what that is? I knew it was gonna be hot, but I also didn’t know it was gonna be gross. You’ve done no blowing. Oh, wow. He hasn’t even blown anything. I don’t even want to eat that turkey leg. I fell for that at the state fair once. Oh, that’s hot. Oh my gosh, look at you. You are just an embarrassment. Using your hands. I mean it’s. I feel like I’m in medieval times. Why did you move to that stuff? I’m at Dolly Parton’s Stampede. Man, I love Gatlinburg. Are you, are you done with the meat or? I’m going right here. You have a minute. Oh my gosh. Like what is turkey meat made of? I mean it looks. It’s so dark. Yeah. This is what it would be like if we were like, in a plane crash on the side of like, an arctic glacier. And this is like the third guy? Yeah. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Pencils down. Oh, my glove farted. Now I have to do it. Okay, Link, your three minutes starts now. How hot, how hot is that bone? It’s hot, dude. You got on gloves, bro. Yeah, eat that little nub right there. You know what? Greg was a good guy. I see the steam coming off of it. He had great legs. But he died first. I’m trying to only touch it with my teeth. Mm. Is it hot? It’s hot. Um, is it good? I’ll take a Mmm. Tastes like ham. Which, I, you know what? I think you might like. You might like it? You might like ham. Oh gosh, these are hotter! He’s so sensitive, man. He’s a sensitive man. He’s a sensitive man. Oh, I can’t blow. He took a blow from me! I’ll do a suck. He took a blow from me! Where’s the cold part? Is it under here? Wait. It’s like pulling underwear off of a honeymoon night. That’s how it went? I just don’t like this. Yeah, well, you think I enjoyed myself? There you go. That’s what I did. You got to go for the, you got to go for the potatoes. Oh my god! My, my, I bit, I bit, did I bit through my glove? One minute? Hey, you’re, hey, you’re, you’re doing pretty good, man. You’re not too far behind where I was. Everything that comes off of the plate is going to be scooped back up and put on your plate, just so you know. Cause that doesn’t count. I just don’t like the look of this. Yeah, I mean, that’s How would a human look any different than that? Whoo! That’s really hot! I didn’t get any of my, uh, I didn’t get any of my cranberry sauce. Which is the hottest thing. Five, four, three, two, one, time. Alright, we gotta put the other stuff back on, uh, back on Link’s plate. Anything that fell off, put it on the plate. And then, um, we’re gonna bring in the, Scale, because we’re going to weigh both of your plates. All right, bring in your scale, buddy roll. Cause they started off weighing the same amount. All right. Everything’s back on my plate. What you got down here? I got 3 pounds and 12. 5 ounces. I have 3 pounds, 14. 7 ounces. Actually not much that different. They made sure they were exactly the same weight to begin with, so that means I beat you by 2. 2 ounces. Oh, you’re slipping. 2. 2 ounces. Hey, I’ll take whatever I can get, man. And we’ll add these up for the other rounds. Pick your lifelines. The food is hot. Josh. Hey, buddy. Finger puppets. Okay, uncloche. You have two minutes to eat this burrito. Good gosh, that’s a heavy burrito. Need some, I’ll get you, I’ll thumb you. So it’s just all the same, same hand? I don’t know. And we’re gonna start the two minute timer right now. Oh, it is hot. Oh gosh, it’s hot. It’s hot and it is thick. It is heavy. Yes! How hot, how hot is it? Is it hot? It’s real hot. Is it real hot? Oh gosh! Dude! Dude! Do you even know what the prize is? No! Why are you trying so hard? Oh no! No! See, those finger puppets are making you forget how hot it’s gonna be to your throat, puppet. I’m going the other side. Why am I even looking at this happening? This is gonna be shown in like, A museum! Etiquette classes for what not to do. 15 seconds. It’s gonna be in the Smithsonian. You’re down to 11, 10, nine, eight, you’re not even eating. Six, five, four, three, two, one, zero. Drop your pencils. All right Josh, come on in. Josh, what, uh, hey. What? Okay. What are you doing? I’m just here to hold your food for you buddy. Lemme know and I’ll put it in. Josh just holding his food. Hold on, two minutes starts right now. Alright. Listen to me though. Go, go, go. You gotta go fast. Go. You gotta go. You gotta go buddy. Hold on, I don’t, no yelling. Let do hold it over plate. Get just get it in. Just get in just the tip. Just get it in just real quick. Don’t move. It just, you gotta a bite. Well, okay, the longer I, I’m gonna put that. Stop rushing. Stop thrashing, here. It’s freaking hot. Burrito’s right here for you, come on, come on, come on. It’s the hottest burrito. It’s so hot, how did you eat this, dude? It’s very hot, but pull it apart. My whole mouth is blistered right now. There you go. Give me the middle. The middle’s gonna be the hottest part. I can’t feel my fingers right now. Do you want me to go with my strategy, what I do here? Here, I’ll help you out, I’ll help you out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta get the steam out and you gotta fan it with the tortilla. This is not against the rules. No it’s not. Eat the tortilla first. It has less water content which means it’s not gonna be that hot. Just hold it still. I’ll hold still. Oh look. There you go. He’s such a nibbler. There you go. He’s such a nibbler. Even with this advantage. I, I give up, man. It’s too hot. It’s real hot. One more bite. One more bite. For me. For me. That’s a good part. We worked hard. How you doing over there, Link? My son. My beautiful son. I mean, him yelling in my ear made it all better. And time. Josh. Hey, that was a lot of fun. Are your hands like, you can’t feel your hands? Yeah, they call it los manos de tortillera. The hands of the tortilla maker. Yeah, yeah. My hands are burnt, definitely. The ones that didn’t have finger puppets, especially. All right, let’s bring in the scales. I know I didn’t eat anything, but, like, seriously, the first one just, like, zinged me right on the On the bottom middle lip. Alright, I’m looking at 2 pounds and 16 ounces. 2 pounds and 16 ounces. 9. 2 ounces? Two pounds, 1. 6 ounces and two pounds, 9. 2 ounces. Oh, okay. Wow. So I ate almost half a pound more than you. And you didn’t get burned? No, I’m, I’m on fire. Midterm elections are coming up, so go to votelikeabeast. com.

Yes, educate yourself on the issues and the candidates at votelikeabeast. com. Be an informed voter and be your mythical best. Okay. So Link needs to make up 9. 8 ounces this round to win. The food is hot. So pick your lifelines and let’s get to eat. All right. I get to suck on ice. I’ll take the fan. Okay, you only have one minute for this one. Reveal. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. And your time starts now. No, that’s the point of the game. Hold on. What? That’s, that’s illegal, right? He’s gotta use his hands. Inside of the bowl. What, really? Yeah, we, yeah, we didn’t really foresee that workaround. That’s pretty obvious. You’ve never seen anybody eat soup? So, oh gosh. Is it hot? Is it hot? Don’t look at me. Don’t watch me. I’ll wring my beard out and do it. I can use my hands on the ice, right? You can use your hands to get the heavy parts out of the soup if you want to. That might be strategic. My whole face is on fire. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, time. You’re making us all proud, Rhett. Now, let what’s in your beer drain, because that has to be weighed against you. We’re gonna be here a while. Hold on, let me do this. I guess it all stayed in there. Okay, Link, your one minute begins now. You can pick it up and slurp. You can pick it up and slurp a little bit, just because I got a little slurpage. Feel free to pick it up and slurp a little bit. I’m not ready to do that. God, how did you do that? Dude? You okay? No. You have to be, I guess I should be blowing this. Not my mouth. Blow the soup, bro. Yeah, stir it a little bit. What is this? What kind of, Hold on, now you’re just flinging it around. Now that’s a cheating thing. It’s Italian wedding soup, my favorite. 30 seconds? Oh yeah. It’s like little meatballs. That’s a good idea. Polpettine. That was a good idea. You did a good job on that one. And these are the heaviest things. 20 seconds? Put the heaviest things right on the right on the fan. Yep, yep. Ten seconds. I like, I like your strategy, man. God, I don’t know. I don’t, it didn’t even seem like it was that hot when you did it. You’re crazy. You’re crazy. I think that I have a very low sensitivity and you have a very high sensitivity. I don’t know who’s lower and who’s higher. All right, let’s weigh it. I might’ve won this round. Oh, the fan gets higher. Yeah. Why didn’t you tell me there’s speeds to the fan? I was wondering. So I’ve got one pound and four and a half ounces. What you got? I got one pound, 5. 9 ounces. So roughly the same. Yeah, roughly the same. Yeah, obviously I, I didn’t, I didn’t want, I wanted to try, but I just couldn’t. You won this outright, Rhett. Oh my goodness. I got some, oh, oh, oh. I mean, is it your hands that are hurting or your mouth? All. Suck it. It’s all the above. I remember back when they asked us if we wanted to do this. That’s when we should have said no.

I think my main takeaway from, uh, revisiting this episode is I’m so grateful of all the times that I eat and I don’t burn my mouth. You know, I’d almost rather bite my tongue than burn my mouth. But the beautiful thing is you don’t have to choose. Because the recovery is faster. You don’t have to choose. It’s not like one of those things has to happen. I can choose neither. Right. And any meal that neither of those happen to me is a win. Like it doesn’t have to be the best meal of my life. It just doesn’t have to burn me or make me bite myself. But if you bite yourself, burning yourself is a good way to cover it up. Cover it up? Yeah. I never thought of that, Rhett. Like, scald the place that I bit? Yeah, you will stop thinking about it.
