GMM 1795: International Hot Dog Taste Test

Hot diggety international dog! – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning. – You know me, I love a good hot dog. Even the hot dogs I don’t love, I still like and even the hot dogs I don’t like, I still eat completely and quickly. How ’bout you? – I, well I expect every hot dog to earn my love. – That makes sense knowing you. (Rhett laughing) Okay you can find a hot dog anywhere: at a ball game, at a barbecue, on the street for goodness’ sake and you can also find them all over the world. It’s time for ♪ Where in the world ♪ ♪ Do these international hot dogs come from? ♪ – We’re gonna sample a style of hot dog served and commonly enjoyed somewhere in the world and we’re gonna guess what country it is commonly enjoyed in by throwing a common dart at that map over there, which look, we got Frankfurter Chase here today, still, cartographer and franktographer. – Where’s your bun? – That’ll be it. – I don’t know, I couldn’t find it when I woke up this morning. (Link laughing) – [Link] As long as you’re here, that’s all that matters. – Low carb style. Okay, I won last time which means Link, you’re gonna get a special advantage dart. This time it is the old Hot Dog on a Stick employee of the month dart, it’s Matt Carney’s face on top of a sloppy hot dog on a stick that you get to throw at the board. Of course, the person with the lowest score at the end is the winner and the winner gets his wiener covered in ketchup and mustard by Sir Perky, I don’t know what that means but we’ll find out when somebody wins. – Sir Perky? – Yep. (a cappella music) (Rhett laughing) – Look at this! This looks like a frickin’ Mythical Kitchen creation. I assume there’s a hot dog in there. – [Rhett] Is that just taters and cheese? – Is there cheese? I mean, you can dip it in some ketchup. – I don’t think it’s cheese, it’s just like– – French fries. – [Rhett] A bunch of potatoes cut up. – French fry crusted. – [Rhett] It’s a corn dog. – [Link] Corn dog type thing. – But instead of just regular batter, it’s like hash browns. – Man! That is nice. – Where they gonna do this at? Wow! – [Link] Russia’s a big target. – It is. Man! Chase is having trouble sitting down. – [Link] What happened? – I’m just gonna stand. – Do you wanna lower there? (laughing) – There we go. There you go, perfect. – I was kinda worried something like that’d happen. – You’re good, okay, you’re good, you’re good. I don’t know how you’re gonna get up but. (Link laughing) What are you thinking? – I got very little to go on. It tastes like something you’d get at an American state fair. – [Link] Yeah? – [Rhett] You know and the closest place to America on that map is Canada. – [Link] Adanac backwards. – [Rhett] Uh huh, right, Adanac. – He’s going for Canada, people. – I’m going Canada. – [Link] Woo! – [Rhett] Oh right in the middle of the heartland! – Kansas, where you at? If there was some mayo in here, I think that’d give this away as like, a Swedish thing. Dangit man, I don’t know. I think it could be Canada and I can’t risk going away from that. – Well hold on a second before you do that. – You’re gonna let your hair down? Okay. He’s strapping on a GoPro. – It’s just like… – You look cool. – That’s awesome. – Yeah, you look awesome. So what? – ‘Cause I’ve been talking about how good of a view I’ve got back here of you and I wanted everybody to be able to see it. – I can’t risk going away from Canada because… (laughing) I… – I want people to be in on the action, man. – I think you’re gonna be right, so I’m going for more of Canada than you did. – [Rhett] Yeah, ooh it’s a good shot. – [Link] Is this on line? Oh yeah! I hit Canada! – [Rhett] You hit Canada. – And you got quite a shot of it I bet. – I did, I did, at least your arm. – Stevie, help me out. – [Stevie] Okay guys, you just ate a Kogo, which is a corn dog coated with crinkle cut french fries and served with ketchup. You can find this popular deep fried dream in… South Korea. – Oh! (fist banging) I’m actually closer than you. – Dangit! – All right Rhett, you had 70 and Link you had 79. – [Rhett] Wow. – Both very poor. – It was a bad start. (a cappella music) What do we have here? – A loaded hot dog, what is on this thing? There’s some sort of… – You know what else I can do with my new head cam? – What? – I can get really good shots of these hot dogs. – Well that’s dramatic. There’s a big slice of avocado. – [Rhett] Is there sauerkraut as well? – Some sort of, what is that stuff right there? Some kind of crunchy something or other. – This is a confused dog. – Oh man, a lot of mayo, okay, all right. You’re winning, so you’re still going first. You’re still going first, Rhett, you’re still going first. – You don’t have to do that. I know you’re jealous– – Look at me, you’re going first. – I know you’re jealous that you don’t have a camera on your head but you don’t have to get that much in my face. I know that they put mayonnaise on their french fries in Holland because I’ve watched Pulp Fiction. – And you’ve also been there. – And that’s pretty close to Sweden, so I guess I’ll just aim at Sweden. – [Link] Oh you went a little right to Russia. – [Rhett] Shoot. – I gotta play a little defensively. – What does that mean? – I’m going between Sweden and Spain. – Ah yes. – Middle of the board. Oh yeah! Right in the Mediterranean. – [Stevie] You just had a completo, a very long hot dog, sometimes twice the size of an American hot dog. – It’s a bigg’un. – [Stevie] Usually served with ingredients such as chopped tomatoes, avocados, lots of mayonnaise, sauerkraut, salsa americana, aji pepper and green sauce. You can find this dirty dog in Chile. – Ah you should’ve gone with, see you’re not listening to your instincts, man! – Stevie, you didn’t mention the avocado. – Yes she did. – That’s the thing we go hung up on. – [Stevie] I did, chopped tomatoes, avocados, mayonnaise. – She said avocado, I was listening. – Rhett you had 57, Link you had 39. – Whoa! – I think I just took the lead. – You did. (a cappella music) – Quick reminder, check out our podcast Ear Biscuits, it’s two lifelong friends talking about their life for a long time. – Yeah. – It’s about 60 minutes, give or take. – About an hour. – Wherever you get podcasts, every Monday and then the following Sunday, video form on the Ear Biscuits YouTube channel. – Link, is this an egg on top of a hot dog? – [Link] Uh, it’s a small something. – [Rhett] I was thinking it might be like mozzarella but it’s actually just a hard boiled quail egg I think. – It’s a little eggy and there’s potato chips on this puppy, what else? – Hmm and that wiener’s special. – [Link] It’s a smaller wiener, still lots of mayo. – Link, you’re going first, man. How’s that feel? – [Link] Potato chips, feels weird. Hmm. – [Rhett] Where would they do this? – I don’t know that we’ve ever eaten anything from New Zealand but I just keep looking at it but it’s such a risk. You know what, screw it. I’m in the lead, I’m gonna go for the gusto, New Zealand. I’m gonna trust my gut. – Do it, man. – What, you think I’m wrong? – No it’s a great guess. – [Link] I’m gonna go closest to New Zealand, a long ways away. Yeah that’s right where I wanted it. – All right, let me in here. I don’t know. – You think I’m right? You think I could be right? – Well definitely. – Down there in hobbit land. – It could be New Zealand but New Zealand is known for its birds with big eggs, not little eggs. – Is that what a kiwi is? – I’ve never been to Africa but something tells me that if I showed up in Ghana and they were like, “Here’s a hot dog” and there was a little egg on top of it, I’d be like “okay.” – When in Ghana. – Right, here we go, I’ll eat the egg. – I’m gonna do it! – I’m gonna go for Ghana. Oh my! – Stevie? – [Stevie] This hot dog is served in a traditional bun with ketchup, mustard, mayo, pineapple, crushed potato chips and a boiled quail egg speared on top. It’s a one of a kind creation known as the perros calientes Colombianos and that’s because it’s from Colombia. – [Link] Ah! – [Rhett] It’s pretty close to Ghana on that map. – Colombianas. – Link, you had 60 and Rhett you had 19. – Oh well I made up some ground there. (a cappella music) – This is served in a cup. – It’s like a pita. – Just pour it out. – [Rhett] It’s like a hero. – [Link] Is this tzatziki? – Yeah and maybe even potatoes? – [Link] What is that? Is that a potato, fluffy little cloud in there? – [Rhett] I think it’s garlic sauce. – [Link] I don’t smell any garlic. – No it’s potato. – It is potato. We agree. All right and you’re back in the lead. – [Stevie] But what else? I won’t let you do a second round of not tasting the thing. – Oh there’s something else hidden, thank you. Oh look at that, first of all, it’s just mashed potatoes. – [Rhett] That’s crab, son. – Whoa, it was hidden. Thank you, Stevie. – Wow that’s good. – [Link] It’s a sweet sauce. – Okay, all of South America’s been taken, Colombia and Chile have been guessed. New Zealand’s out there, you know, it’s open for business. – Lot of crabs crawling around and hobbit holes. – I think I’m gonna go Spain, just because it’s on the Mediterranean and you can get all these things from around the Mediterranean. (Rhett laughing) – From around the Mediterranean. – New Zealand’s not a bad guess, so I’m gonna go to the east of Spain, so like I’m going sort of Middle East here. – Middle East, he says. Oh man, New Zealand is really calling my name. – You still have your special dart too. – I’ve gotta save that. Crap, New Zealand and I’m going all the way. I’m not even hedging my bets. – Yeah, yeah, hit it right in the middle of the island. – [Link] Yeah this is it, I’m right, I feel it. (Rhett laughing) No! It’s too low! (beep) (dart hitting) (beep) Too low! Come on, let me try again. – All right. (dart hitting) – [Link] Nope, too high. You gonna try it? All right, forget it. – No, that can count. – You wanna give me another shot? – That was it, you just, hold on, put it back where you just put it. – That was like a tantrum throw. – Oh okay. – I didn’t know it really counted. – I think– – Are you gonna give me another? – The fact that, hold on. You’re already getting a cheat dart and then you missed it, which is technically 50 off– – And then I was– – And then you threw a tantrum dart. Let the tantrum dart count. That’s a good compromise is the tantrum dart counts. And you missed it again. Go take a dart and put it in a tantrum hole. – Putting a dart in the tantrum hole. Are you? You’re not even filming with the GoPro! You went, you’re so excited about your GoPro and you’re not even using it! – We’ve got better shots for that, I’m telling you. This is nothing for a GoPro. That really turned into a tantrum hole, didn’t it? – [Stevie] Okay. (sighing) You just ate Tunnbrodsrulle. I don’t know if I pronounced that correctly but I really tried. – Doesn’t sound like it’s from New Zealand. – [Stevie] Which is a hot dog surrounded by mashed potatoes, shrimp salad, lettuce and onions, all rolled into a wrap. This land and sea dog is from Sweden. – [Rhett] Oh, which is pretty close to Spain. – All right, Rhett you had 16 and Link, you had 56. – What are you laughing at? – You know what? Hey, listen. You know what? Since 56 is more than 50, let’s just count your first dart and it’s just 50. – That’s why I was laughing. – [Link] Oh. – How about that? You just gained six points. (ding) – By failing harder. (a cappella music) – Oh we got some kind of French bread pizza. – [Link] With a hot dog in the middle. It kinda looks like a hot dog bun. So it’s a transformer, it’s a pizza that becomes a hot dog. – It’s a pizza hot dog, it’s not a hot dog pizza, it’s a pizza hot dog. – That’s a good one and of course, I have my special dart. I know I’m going second but I wanna go ahead and show you. Former Hot Dog on a Stick employee, Matt Carney, ready to help me make up some ground. Work with me. – Now the country is on the board but it is not labeled. – [Link] I mean, this could be anywhere. – Link, you’re down by 66 points. – Centimeters, yes. – If you can name the country that this is and also get some of your mess on to that country, you win no matter what, that’s what I’ll say, I’ll throw that out there but maybe this is somewhere in Europe. Poland’ll just pull things out and it is a sort of a Polish-type sausagey wiener. – [Link] It is. – Can’t actually tell you which one of those countries is Poland but I know approximately where it is. – Pizza dog. – [Rhett] It’s not in Africa, it’s not in Africa. – All right, Matt Carney. (bells ringing) Now’s your moment. I’m gonna slather up your actual face here. I just lost his face. All right, so I have to come up with an actual guess. – [Rhett] You gotta have an actual guess. – It’d be kind of on the nose to guess Italy, wouldn’t it? – Yeah. – You know what? They fully embraced it. It’s just like, all right, we’re the father of pizza. We can throw some hot dog in the middle of that. – Now you still gotta get your wiener on to Italy. – Oh that’s not gonna be a problem. (hot dog hitting) (Chase laughing) Did I? Maybe just a little bit but I don’t think so. – [Stevie] Okay. – I hit a bunch of ocean. – You have a tiny smudge on the top of Italy. – [Stevie] You just ate what locals in this country call The Stoner. It features a long hot dog in a bun, covered in pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese, sometimes with pepperoni, then boiled. You’ll find this pizza hot dog in the Netherlands. – [Link] The Netherlands, oh man. – Well you hit it but I don’t you made up the difference. – I nailed it, yeah, I don’t think that could work. – Yep, Rhett you had 13 and Link, you had one. – Oh hey, you won that round. – I feel great about that round, I’m gonna focus on that. – But you lost the game. – Congratulations Rhett, you win, what is it? – He gets to have his condiments delivered by Sir Perky. – [Link] Ew. – [Rhett] It’s coming right out of the rectums of those little red men. – Gross. That’s the prize I’ve been working on. – And you missed the plate. Hold on, let me get a good GoPro shot of that. Oh yeah. – One of these days I’m gonna win this again, I feel it. – Yeah I feel it too, it’ll happen. – Thank you for believing in me and thank you for clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Greg from Victoria, British Columbia and it’s time to spin (knife hitting) the wheel of mythicality. – Maybe we should invite Greg and he can throw knives instead of darts. – Yeah Greg, come on and help me out. – All right, click the top link to watch us try white hot dogs in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where the wheel of mythicality’s gonna land.
