  • Today we ask the question on everyone's mind this fall:

  • - Will it pumpkin spice? - Let's talk about that.

  • ♪ (theme music) ♪

  • Good mythical morning!

  • We ask you to ask us for advice on Facebook, and Twitter, and the like,

  • and we read those. We pick some too,

  • - then give the advice. - Yeah.

  • Like Allen Bowman, who asks, "What is the essence of Autum-nuh?"

  • Great question, Allen.

  • - Allen. (laughs) - Allen-nuh.

  • Allem-nuh.

  • The essence of Autumn, Allem, is...pumpkin spice.

  • Yeah, living in LA, there are no seasons.

  • - The weather doesn't even change. - Whoo!

  • The only way I know that it's fall or Autumn-nah,

  • is when they start throwing pumpkin spice into everything,

  • which brings us to our second question from Emma Kunneman:

  • "Will it pumpkin spice?" Which, I think--

  • - Only one way to find out, Emma! - Hoo! It's time to ask...and answer:

  • (Rhett and Link) Will It Pumpkin Spice?

  • We each have our own pumpkin spice thingie here.

  • - It does smell good. - Will pumpkin spice pumpkin spice?

  • - It smells like Autumn-nah. - Whoo!

  • Or fall, depending on how you pronounce it.

  • That is good. Right off the bat, I got some pizza here.

  • (Rhett) Will it pumpkin spice?

  • You know, people sprinkle all types of stuff on pizza.

  • Why not pumpkin spice, right?

  • - (Rhett taps hard on shaker) - (Link) I'm sure this isn't happening.

  • Oh, oh boy. It's raining pumpkin spice.

  • Alright, here we go. Hmm...

  • (chewing)

  • Its hard to mess up pizza, y'all.

  • - Hmm. - You gotta be careful when you breathe in

  • because the pumpkin spice will go into your lungs.

  • - It's a powder. - It is.

  • Somebody's already doing this. Surely Pizza Hut's doing this.

  • They do everything. They put cheese in the crust.

  • - Will it pumpkin spice? - Of course.

  • - Of course! - Yeah. Well, you already knew that though.

  • (ding)

  • Let's take it up a notch. Let's go with everyone's favorite condiment:

  • - Unbranded mayonnaise - Heh.

  • (Link) Will it pumpkin spice?

  • You woke up this morning asking yourself, "I wonder if mayonnaise

  • will pumpkin spice?" We're here for you, girl!

  • - Or guy! - I got some pumpkin spice pepperoni

  • - in between my-- - (loud thunk)

  • (Rhett) Go easy over there, Link.

  • Ain't nobody got time for that. Alright, here we go.

  • You realize that what you dip out is gonna have to down your throat?

  • (Rhett) Yeah, but it's gonna be pumpkin spiced.

  • Oh my goodness. Alright, here we go.

  • (Link) The combination of colors, the off-whiteness and the pumpkinness,

  • - really looks good. - Yeah. Come on.

  • It's fall.

  • Ah! Boy, that's some good mayonnaise.

  • - You know what? - It was nasty in the mouth,

  • - but it tasted good afterward. - It tasted good in the throat?

  • - What do you even mean by that? - (Link chuckles)

  • - There're no taste buds in there, man. - The aftertaste was good.

  • There are no tastebuds in the stomach. I gotta say, the only way to make

  • a spoonful of mayonnaise really good and perfect for Autumn

  • is some pumpkin spice. I'm gonna say, without a doubt,

  • this pumpkin spice is for me. You should be doing this.

  • - Will it pumpkin spice? - Heck yeah, it will!

  • Yeah.

  • (ding)

  • What else is on your mind? Bugs.

  • Now, I understand that these are dung beetles, but I'll let you smell 'em.

  • Oh my goodness. We've had these before,

  • but we haven't had 'em pumpkin spiced.

  • (Rhett) Will it pumpkin spice?

  • - Let me spice this thing for you. - They really smell like dung.

  • (Link) Dungs.

  • You're getting a lot of pumpkin spice on the table.

  • I'mma pumpkin spice expert. A professional.

  • Alright, so I'm gonna use the little bit of mayonnaise that's left

  • here to stick to the dung beetle.

  • (Rhett) Get lots of spice and a little bit of dung beetle.

  • (Link) Here we go.

  • (crunching)

  • (Link) It seems like a bug that's dressed up for Halloween.

  • Yeah. Ew. Ew!

  • - It really gets bad, don't it? - When you get through the pumpkin spice

  • and you get to the dung beetle-- if we're concluding if this is good...

  • (coughing)

  • Here it comes. There, it happened.

  • - I can't get this down. - Are we concluding if this is

  • a good experience, or if the pumpkin spice made it better?

  • 'Cause the pumpkin s--whoa!

  • (gagging) Oh god.

  • (Rhett) Pumpkin spice made it better, but this does NOT pumpkin spice.

  • It doesn't anything.

  • (buzzer)

  • I really need some liquid, so we're gonna go to some unbranded

  • green soda, known as-- what're we calling this?

  • The Residue of the Big Hills.

  • (Link) Will it pumpkin spice?

  • Might know it has something else.

  • - (Link) Byoop! - (Rhett) But we're gonna pumpkin spice it.

  • - And, again, this the kind of thing-- - We're gonna pumpkin spice it.

  • I can see on the shelves.

  • - (rapid tapping) - (Link) Oh, wow.

  • (chuckling)

  • If I were you, I would stir it with a handle.

  • You wanna make sure that the color changes, get some of the fizz.

  • (Link) I want some mayonnaise in mine, too.

  • - Oh! Listen to that. - (soda fizzes)

  • Wow, this might kill ya'.

  • - It sounds like the ocean. - Oh, smell that.

  • - Probably smells just like yours. (laughs) - Wanna smell mine instead?

  • - (Rhett) Here we go. - Hey, this is exciting!

  • To long life and happiness.

  • (glasses clink)

  • To superstition and stupidity.

  • (Rhett) It tastes like a pumpkin patch on the side of a mountain.

  • In the morning. When there's residue.

  • - (Link burps) Excuse me. - Emphasis on the "dew".

  • - It just tastes like cider-- - Spicy cider.

  • Which I think is probably a thing. Yeah, this does it! Yeah.

  • Add a little dung beetle, doesn't hurt.

  • And a little mayonnaise doesn't hurt either.

  • - Will it pumpkin spice? Yes! - Absolutely.

  • (ding)

  • We've said that Sriracha, in the Sriracha challenge, makes everything better,

  • so what if we reversed it?

  • (Rhett) Will it pumpkin spice?

  • The pumpkin spice Sriracha seemed like a good thing.

  • (Link sings octaves)

  • - Your whole body shakes. - Heh.

  • - To long life. - To stupidity and happiness.

  • (snickering)

  • - That is conflicting. - Yeah!

  • (crew laughs)

  • There's not a lot of good things I can say about that.

  • You know what? You probably need some spicy pumpkin dew to--

  • (crew laughs)

  • I'm gonna, "Does it pumpkin spice or will it pumpkin spice?"

  • No.

  • (buzzer)

  • Now we're gonna get a little bit creative here.

  • Antiperspirant deodorant.

  • (Link) Will it pumpkin spice?

  • [inaudible]

  • (Link) You lick it first, and let me know how that goes.

  • I think it's just for the underarms. If you apply enough

  • to cover one good underarm.

  • - Oh. - (crew and Rhett chuckle)

  • Hey, if it ain't on there anymore, it's on there.

  • - Whoa! - I'm going through the shirt.

  • (sniffs) Mmm.

  • I hope that brown is from the pumpkin spice, and not from something

  • that was already on my armpit.

  • (Rhett) Smells like Plymouth Rock under there.

  • (crew laughs)

  • (loud sniffing)

  • - It says it's scentless deodorant. - It's not bad.

  • - Not bad at all. - Well, that's fashionable.

  • There's a little tingle. It's stinging a little bit under this one,

  • - the one I put the pumpkin spice under. - You smell like a scarecrow.

  • (laughs)

  • Will it pumpkin spice? That's a tough one, bud.

  • - Yeah! Pumpkin spice deodorant. - Of course! Why not?

  • (ding)

  • Alright, now I am not excited about this next one.

  • But if pumpkin spice does what we're starting to think maybe it can do,

  • - like, have magical powers-- - (chuckles) Well.

  • We're gonna find out with this next one.

  • There's magic happening under my left underarm.

  • Pickled pigs feet.

  • (Rhett) Will it pumpkin spice?
