GMM 2383: Craziest Stadium Foods In America (Taste Test)

We’re dipping a cleat back into the world of wild stadium foods. – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) “Good Mythical Morning.” – We’ve delved into this world of weird sports stadium foods a few times now, and I’ve learned a lot about myself, like how I don’t know a lot of sports teams. But I also learned that I do look pretty good bending over to hike a football. – Well, how’d you learn that? You’ve been watching it back? – That’s the part that I watched back. Yeah. – Oh, okay. – And today I feel very confident about my performance, and as you can see by my body language, it’s very confident. – Oh wow. You’ve been studying up? – Very confident body language. Arms down. Arms up. Arms high. No, not really. No. – Oh. – It’s time for, Hut! Hut! Bite! Crazy Stadium Foods: More Stadium Foods Edition. Welcome back to the booty booty booty hike it everywhere stadium zone, home of the Mythical rings! – Hey! Stevie, how does this work again? – [Stevie] Today, you’ll be trying recreations of crazy food served at pro sports stadiums across the country, and each round you’ll get three chances to hike a football to the state you think the stadium food is from. Once you land a ball in a state, you’re locked into that guess. If you guess correctly on your first hike, it’s worth seven points. Otherwise, you’ll win six points for a correct guess. And if you don’t guess the right state, there’s still a chance to walk away with three points by guessing which team in the correct state hosts the dish. – Woo! – [Stevie] And today we are introducing the penalty box. One of these rings is not only not the correct answer to any of today’s rounds, but should you hike your ball into this mystery ring and should the person inside the ring catch the ball, you’ll have three points taken away from you. – No! Can you do that? – [Stevie] I can! – Uh-uh. – [Stevie] And no one knows if they are in the penalty box or not. It’s all a mystery for everyone here, so we’ll learn together. – Wow. – [Stevie] The loser has to soak their feet- – Didn’t even tell them. – [Stevie] In an ice bath like an injured athlete in “Good Mythical More.” – Ooh. – What? – [Stevie] And let’s get ready and flip that coin to see who gets the advantage of going second. KG, please. – Hello. – Hey. – Hi. – Y’all know the drill. Heads. Tails. Rhett, you can call it. – Heads. – Heads, so you’ll go second. – Okay. – Bring it on. I’m feeling good about this. (upbeat music) – Before we get started tasting our first dish, let’s see who we’ve got on the field today. – I’m Pennsylvania. I’m Benjamin Franklin and I was there when we signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. (crew laughs) – That’s a great Ben Franklin. – Thank you. – Hello, I’m Georgia. Thanks so much for having me to your home. It’s so nice of you to dress for dinner. (crew laughs) – They used to dress up a lot down there in Georgia. – Okay. Sorry, Georgia. – Hi, I’m New York. I’m actually just visiting. But if anyone knows the way to the M&M’S store, I would love to go there. – Okay. – I’m Illinois, home to Chicago, where God blessed us with the first Chicago-style deep dish pizza in 1943. I don’t know where my accent went right now, (Rhett laughs) but I will fight you over pizza, so watch out. – Okay. That’s one of the highlights of this, is Vi’s accents. (crew laughs) – Hi, I’m Arizona. Home to over 50 different species of cacti in our state. Ah! Ah, I got a needle. Oh, there’s needles everywhere. Cacti. – Eels? You got an eel? – Needle. Needle. – Needles. Needles. Needles. No eels. Maybe freshwater. – It’s like we’re in, how did he get an eel? – Hold on. – I’m Michigan. Home of the American automotive industry. I’m a proud union man. Been working on an assembly line basically all my life, like my daddy before me. Fun fact, Michigan is where several of the “Transformers” movies were filmed. (crew laughs) And well, one thing led to another when they were filming in my hometown, and my beloved wife ended up leaving me for one of the titular space robots. I hate those Transformers. (Stevie laughs) – He’s back. – Hey, I’m Washington. A home of perpetual darkness, and rain, and birthplace of Sydney Sweeney, my favorite actress in the world. Fun fact, Sydney Sweeney is a Virgo. – You just looked that up? – I got a whole list of fun facts about Sydney Sweeney. They’re pretty fun. – Hey everyone, I’m North Carolina. Home to the NASCAR Hall of Fame and also home to the largest replica of the Bill of Rights, which is ironic ’cause God never stepped foot in this hell hole. I hate living here! (crew laughs) – That’s how everyone that we know back home talks. – Yeah. – [Rhett] Which is weird how he nailed it. – And they all wear helmets constantly. It’s a race car driver. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. NASCAR’s big there. – Okay, and we have our first food here, which is- – Is that a big piece of bacon? – I think this is the thickest cut of bacon I’ve ever seen. – Is that beef bacon? – [Stevie] What would you call this dish? – It’s glazed in somethin’. – Big stick of bacon. – [Stevie] Bacon on a stick is what it’s called. It’s roasted hand-cut bacon on a stick with jalapeno maple glaze. – Yeah, it’s good. – Very sweet. – Man. – [Link] It’s pretty good. – You’re up first. – I gotta start going to sports. – [Rhett] That is half the reason to be there, honestly. – See, bacon could be anywhere. I don’t think it’s New York. It’s not that regional. I think it could be Washington state. I’m just feeling like they want to, they wanna try some trendy new stuff. Trying to cheer up the population. – Sydney Sweeney is a professionally trained fighter and knows how to do MMA. For real. – Wow. That’s pretty cool. – [Link] Yes! And he stayed on his phone! – Yeah. – That is worth seven points, potentially. – Potentially. – Who do you think is doing the thick bacon? Could be anybody, right? – [Rhett] It could be anybody. I mean, everybody likes bacon. You know how tourists from New York feel about bacon, right? – Absolutely. I mean, New York disposes of almost 23 million tons of garbage a year. (crew laughs) – Exactly. And you know they like their good old pork belly bacon up in Michigan. – Fun fact. Motown legend Stevie Wonder is from Michigan. My favorite song of his has always been For Once In My Life I Wish My Wife Didn’t Leave Me For a Creature From Cybertron. Oh, I hate those Transformers. – I don’t remember that song. – It’s a deep cut. – It’s a rare B-side to “Isn’t She Lovely?” – I actually think this might be Arizona. – Well, in Arizona it’s illegal to feed pigs trash. – Huh. But it’s still so tempting. – Yes. – Well, it’s a relevant fact because this is pig. Bacon is pig. – They’re really trying to protect their pigs. – I actually, I mean, my intuition is leading me to Arizona because I kind of feel like this is a region-less dish ’cause it’s just bacon with a sauce on it. And I think that Arizona- – Is region-less. – It’s a little bit region-less. Like, gimme an Arizona accent. – Well, you just heard it. – Hey. – It’s not really anything. – The largest hog ever discovered was found in Georgia and killed. He looked at us funny. (crew laughs) – Well, it’s making me reconsider. But you know what? I’m gonna stick with Arizona. – [Link] Oh. – Woo! – That’s a seven point potential catch there. – Or we could both get negative three. – We both have the same rationale of un-regionality. – [Stevie] The bacon on a stick is from New York. – Oh, the place I said it wasn’t! – Dang. – Yeah. Did you know that it’s legal for people of all gender identities to go topless in New York? It’s one of the things I plan on doing before I leave. (crew laughs) – Did not know that. – Before or after the M&M’S store? – You know, I’m hoping during, but I’m not sure what the policy is inside of businesses. – [Stevie] Okay, you both don’t have any points on the board but you could still grab three if you can guess which team the dish is home to. – Okay. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Knicks. – Jets. – [Stevie] The New York Giants. – Ah! – Dang it! – We both got it wrong. – Dang it! (upbeat music) Good gosh, look at this thing. – [Rhett] Is that a Gordita? – It’s a freakin’ pita filled with like a brat, caramel corn, and- – Jalapenos. – Jalapenos? – Oh, and macaroni. – [Stevie] This is called the Cracker Jack & Mac Dog- – I’m gonna break it. – [Stevie] Naan bread. Hot dog and naan bread with caramel sauce, jalapenos, Cracker Jacks, and macaroni and cheese. – So strange. I mean the caramel sauce is such a weird part of this. – That’s good. – It’s good, but I don’t know if I’d want to pay money for it. I’d be too afraid. – You would trade for it. You wanna trade for it? – Yeah, I’d barter for it. – Well, I’m gonna keep eating it. – I don’t know. You like that a lot more than I do. See, I’m definitely thinking they’re throwing brats over there in Illinois. They’ll throw brats on a grill. – They will. – I mean, don’t they throw brats in Illinois? – You know, people come to Chicago for deep dish pizza. – Yeah. – And they fight for it. (crew laughs) – Okay. They fight for it. I know this isn’t North Carolina. – I don’t know about all that. What I do know is North Carolina produced more “American Idol” finalists than any other state in this here country. Huh, that makes sense. They all looking for a way outta this hell hole. – What’s wrong with North Carolina? It’s not like we left. – North Carolina? You wanna know? The capitol is Raleigh, spelled R-A-L-E-I-G-H. I before E except after C. Ever heard of it? (crew laughs) – That’s not what we sound like, man. – Is that Foghorn Leghorn over here or something? (crew laughs) – Yeah. – I think this is Illinois. – [Rhett] Okay. All right. Right at you! Seven point qualification. – Wow. – You thinking the same thing. You thinking a little brat action? – I don’t know. I know those people up in Pennsylvania get a little bit squirrely sometimes. – Did you know that Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning rod, bifocals, and the flexible catheter? – You got one in right now? – I don’t wanna talk about that with you. – Flexible. But again, I don’t know. They’re looking for ways to spice things up over in Washington. – “Be more confident in who you are.” Sydney Sweeney. (crew laughs) – Is that like her Instagram post or something? – It’s just a quote that she had about, you know, career advice. – For the same reason that I went to Arizona. I feel like I gotta go back to Arizona. Does that sound like a good idea? – Well, we made the movie “Oklahoma!” in Arizona. Cracker Jacks. Hey. (Rhett laughs) – He’s wanting it. – Yeah. Yeah. He definitely wants it. – He’s wanting it clearly. – Because of the jalapenos and again, this isn’t calling out anything. It’s a pita. It’s popcorn. It’s- – All over the place. – It’s a directionless people. The people of Arizona. They have, they have nothing to call their own. It’s desolate out there. I mean, it’s beautiful, but it’s desolate. – We have cacti, remember? We have cacti. – Oh! – Not received! Ineligible! Now you’re going for six points. – Going for six. Making it interesting. – This is only for six points now. – Oh, that is low. That’s weak sauce, man. – This is still for six points. – You get, this is your last chance, though. – Yeah, it is. – Try being more confident in who you are. – Oh man, he had to reach for it, dude. That was almost a zero pointer for you. – [Stevie] The Cracker Jack & Mac Dog is from Pennsylvania. Dang it. – Ooh, I was close. – [Stevie] Well, actually Link, you’ve hiked your ball right into the penalty box. – [Rhett] Ooh! – [Stevie] Which means not only do you not get the opportunity to win three points, you lose three points. – What! – [Stevie] I’m sorry. That’s true. – That sucks, bro. – [Stevie] But Rhett- – That sucks, and now you, does it move around? – [Stevie] No. – [Link] Now you know where it is. – [Stevie] Yeah. – Yeah. – [Stevie] And Rhett has an opportunity to gain three points by guessing the team. – And you said it was in Pennsylvania. – But do I get to guess the team too? – [Stevie] No. – [North Carolina] Huh! You got worse luck than me. And I was born in North Carolina! (Georgia laughs) – All right, I’m ready. The Steelers! – [Stevie] No, it’s the Pittsburgh Pirates. – The Colts. – Dang it! – That would, I keep changing my guess, right? – The Pirates. (upbeat music) Wanted to mention we’re selling our own water bottle. It’s an actual Nalgene with Mythical branding. This one says, “Mythical. Always Hydrated.” 32 ounces. – This one says, “Mythical.” And then it has cool pictures of Mythical beasts and a nice tent. – Got a big wide mouth like you know who. So get one at mythical.com. Glug, glug, glug. – Wow. Look at that. Stay hydrated. – [Stevie] Okay, up next we have the pho burrito or the pho-rrito. – Pho. – In a burrito. – [Stevie] It has all the elements of pho wrapped in a big tortilla. – Do you dip it in the broth? ‘Cause it’s kinda dry. – You probably could. – Hmm. Dang, that’s good. – Oh! – That’s a good idea. – Man! – And I didn’t even burn my mouth. – And got the noodles. It’s everything from pho inside a tortilla, Link. – Right, except for the broth. – You can dip it. – Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. – Man. – Let me get my ball. I’m still going first ’cause I’m losing. Who would this be? I don’t think this is any Southern state. I mean, what do you know about pho, Miss Georgia? – Well, I don’t appreciate that language. (crew laughs) That’s all I know. But we are the largest state east of the Mississippi, but we’re large where it counts. In our hearts. (crew laughs) – She looked at her heart. – My wife said part of that to me about a Transformer. (crew laughs) – Sorry, Michigan. This could be Michigan. – You know, Harry Houdini performed his final show in Michigan. You know who I would wish would disappear? – Optimist Prime? – Yeah boy, you guys have me pegged. – Was it specifically OP himself? – I know this isn’t very healthy emotionally, but I still follow my wife on Instagram and I’ve seen her in photos with Starscream, (crew laughs) several Dinobots. – [Rhett] She’s found what she likes. – You’re making me so sad. I actually think this is Washington. I can see you going for some pho fusion. It’s cool. – Yeah, I mean, I don’t know about that, but I do know that Sydney Sweeney has a dog named Tank. Whoa. – [Link] You weren’t ready. – I was ready. – [Link] You gotta get off your phone, man! – No, I can do both. – That cost me a point. – I was ready. You threw it over there. – Oh! (crew laughs) That was me. That was me. That was me. – I got one more chance. – That was me. That was me. That was me. – It’s tough. – I get one more chance. – It’s tough because he’s got the phone, you see? – [Lik] But he doesn’t have the phone. – I’m ready. – That was you. That was you! – Come on. – I dropped my phone! – You gotta give me a pity throw. – Sydney! – I feel like you get one more because he had the phone, yeah, yeah. – Oh! – Yeah! There you go. Gosh! – You almost threw it at the mechanic. You know, Sydney Sweeney’s a mechanic. – Pho burrito. – You know, a place where there’s a huge intermixing of cultures? Like New York is a place that you might see something like this, right? – Absolutely. Did you know that Times Square was named after “The New York Times” and I was named after my Aunt Janine? (crew laughs) – I did not know that. – Can we get, can we go back to the same state? Or is it, if it’s been said, it- – [Stevie] Hey, you could do whatever you want. – Okay, but, oh wait, what does that mean, though? – [Stevie] I think you know what that means. – That means that- – That will be unprecedented. To have two rounds from the same state. I’ve never seen such a thing on this show in my life. (crew laughs) – This NASCAR driver knows a lot about the way the show works. – [North Carolina] Be your Mythical best. I always say it. (crew laughs) – I’m just offended. Every time he talks, I’m offended. Take it personally. (crew laughs) – I thought there was three of you. – I actually think that your guess is great because- – I wouldn’t throw it to that guy. – I think that Washington is a place that you you would expect a see, you gotta put the other football down, though. – Oh, okay. – You gonna? Come on. Come on, man. – I ain’t catching it with the phone. – I, no, I’ve taken, you can’t have Washington. – [Stevie] That is not how it works. – You’re just gonna, you’re just gonna blank me out? Take a little risk, man. – No, because I think it’s the best guess. – [North Carolina] Every time you guys play darts, you throw wherever the tall man throws. – Oh. Oh. North Carolina, he’s been watching the show. He’s been watching the show. – Wow. – See, and now you can get seven points out of that. Well, but then- – Doesn’t seem right. – But then you can guess with where, you know, you can guess whatever team is. – Okay. All right. All right. All right. I’m cool. I’m cool. – [Stevie] The pho-rrito is from Washington. – Oh! Man. – So now do I, I can get the three points? – [Stevie] Neither one of you actually can get the three points ’cause you both got it correct. But for funsies, you wanna guess? – Seahawks. The only team in Washington I can name. – Washington- – Mariners. – Wizards. – [Stevie] It’s the Seahawks. (buzzer blares) Okay. – Wizards isn’t right either. I’ve said that before. – DC. – Say that every time. (upbeat music) – [Stevie] Okay, finally. This is the Burgerizza, which is a bacon cheeseburger with pizzas for buns. – Okay, I think we know what we need to do. – Oh yeah. Not make eye contact. – No, I didn’t look at you. – Boy, that was a lot. – Well. – I’ve never thought that anyone should do this. – Having tasted it, do you think somebody should have? – I don’t love it. Something about it. Like the greasiness of the pepperoni. – You know what? Coming from me, this says a lot. I think it’s too much. – [Link] Mm-hmm. – I think it’s too much. I think you’ve crossed some sort of culinary line. – Yeah, like the burger and the cheese actually gets lost. Hmm. It’s huge. I don’t think Georgia will be shy. – Oh, well thank you for saying so. You know, our state motto is “Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation,” which the latter is something that Michigan’s wife should really look into. – That’s right. I actually am thinking this is Georgia. You know, it’s very large, but straightforward. Just like many of the personalities in Georgia. Right at you, girl! Yes! Seven points in play. – In play. I like the way you always qualify that. Huh. Pennsylvania, we’ve already picked you, right? I keep forgetting who we, where we’ve gone. But you got any more interesting facts while you’re here? – Yeah, let me just put on my glasses. Sorry. It’s kind of bothering me. Oh, I’m so sorry. Some people would call me a polyglot, but I learned it all by myself. I speak like five languages. Incredible. (crew laughs) – Wow. And humble. – [Pennsylvania] Of them is Latin. – Oh. You know what? I actually think it’s Michigan because they’re willing to take chances when it comes to food. Just throw a bunch of stuff in the mix like this. Put bacon on it. Call it a day. – I don’t think this is a chance at all. I think it’s desperation. And he caught it with a wrench in his hand. – Woo! – Pretty good. – Finally, something’s gone right. – [Stevie] The Burgerizza is from Georgia. – Yes! – No! – [Georgia] Hello. – Yes! – Congratulations. Thank you for having me again. And I’m just so happy for you that you have time to go on vacation from dusting your home. – Shade. – Wow. – The shade she’s throwing. So where does that put to score? – [Stevie] Okay, well here’s the thing. Rhett gets the opportunity to get three points by guessing the team and if he does, then that means you tie. – Oh. Okay. – [Stevie] Rhett? – Falcons. – I was gonna say Braves. – [Stevie] It was the Braves. Dang! – Yes! – [Stevie] Which means Links win. Links wins. – Links wins. – And you gotta take an icy foot bath throughout the entirety of “Good Mythical More.” – Ooh. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – Now you guys say you know what time it is. – [All] You know what time it is! – I’m Hope. – And I’m Rain.
