Where’s the beef? More like, when’s the beef? – Let’s talk about that! (gentle upbeat music) – Good Mythical Morning! – Promising fresh, never frozen beef, uniquely shaped into squared patties, the ever frozen in time smiling face of Wendy is the best kid anybody could ask for. – Especially because we know she would never, ever put us in a nursing home and forget about us. – Oh. – And throughout the years, she’s seen some questionable menu choices. (coughing) Frescata sandwiches. But she’s also seen some truly iconic winners. – She’s seen it all, hasn’t she? But do we know when she first saw it? It’s time for “Stuff and Shuff Wendy’s Edition.” (upbeat triumphant music) (words beeping) – Welcome to the Stuff and Shuff zone! – [Stevie] Okay, boys. Each round, you’ll guess the origin of a specific menu item from Wendy’s by shuffling your pucks to the correct decade on the Mythical shuffle board. The winner will get a very special gift from Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas and his daughter, the Wendy. – What? – [Stevie] I know. And Rhett, you’ll be shuffling first since you won last time. – The ghost of Dave Thomas is here? – Yeah. – Yeah. – All right. Ready to catch? – [Rhett] Yeah. (cloche banging) – Yeah! Oh, it’s that baked potato. – [Rhett] Oh, yeah! Wendy made this famous. – So this one’s got bacon on it. Is that make it different? – [Stevie] No, you’re just guessing the baked potato. We just wanted it to be nice and dressed up for you. – I like it to get the chili, too. Put the chili on there. – [Stevie] I’m sorry. – There’s no other fast food place that I get a baked potato at. – No. It’s like Wendy’s made baked potatoes cool again. I’m going first. – [Link] I’m just gonna keep eating a little more of this tater. – There’s so many unknowns here, Link. We first have to guess when Wendy’s happened. We know that a man named Dave Thomas founded it and we know that he was already old when we were kids and we know that he is now… – Deceased. (soft bass guitar music) – Dead. Okay. (crew laughing) – Hopefully they put a cool bass line in there, like a dead bass line. – I don’t think they did, man. Sorry. – How old was Dave Matthews? Matthews. (laughs) – There you go. There’s Dave Matthews. – How old was Dave Thomas when he died? I don’t know. 80. When did he die? I don’t know. 15 years ago. So he didn’t do this in the 40s. He founded this in the ”50s. Baked potato. Not something you start with out of the gate, but once the ’70s roll around, you’re gonna be adding baked potato to the menu in the ’70s? – There’s never a time when it can seem motivated. I think this is a crap shoot. It’s either the ’60s or the- – Nobody else did it. – ’60s or ’70s. I’m gonna try to nestle between the two on the cross where they connect. (puck sliding) Oh, stop, stop! Daggone it, Wendy! Daggone it, Wendy! – Now, the thing that I’m concerned about is my answer is the ’80s. I just, I mean, I always remember them being there and I remember those ’80s. There were taters. So how do I push you? – What you gonna try to do? – I’m gonna nestle up against you so that I can lay claim to 1980, as well as 1970. Here we go. Do me right, Wendy. (puck sliding) Oh, I’ve gone past you, but I’ve come back. And, hmm… – You’re still closer to ’80s. You’re still closer to ’70s. So I think mission accomplished. – Feeling good about that feeling. – Mission accomplished. – Feeling good about that. And do you eat the tater skin? – Oh, yeah. That’s the best part. That’s where the fiber is. – [Stevie] Wendy’s sells more than 1 million baked potatoes each week. They were first introduced to the Wendy’s menu as a healthier option in 1983. – You were right, bro. – [Stevie] And as y’all already know, this was also the same decade in which the famous, “Where’s the beef?” commercial debut. Let’s just watch it for fun. – Yes, please. – Please. – [Link] I love this commercial. – It certainly is a big bun. – It’s a very big bun. – Big fluffy bun. – It’s a very big fluffy… – Where’s the beef? – [Link] There you go, girl. – [Announcer] Some hamburger places give you a lot less beef on a lot of bun. – Where’s the beef? – [Announcer] At Wendy’s, we serve a hamburger we modestly call a single and Wendy’s single has more beef than the Whopper or Big Mac. At Wendy’s, you get more beef and less bun. – Hey, where’s the beef? I don’t think there’s anybody back there. – [Announcer] You want something better. Your Wendy’s kind of people. – The person on the far left was listening to the bun. Did you see that? – Yeah. Seeing if it would talk. (screen beeping) (brisk music) – You ready? It’s gonna flip. – I’m gonna forklift it. – It’s gonna flip one time. – Yeah. (cloche banging) Forklift over. Almost didn’t catch it. What do we have? – A special. It says special. – This is… What in the world? – It’s a egg sandwich! – Is that sausage in this shape of a square? Or is that burger? – [Stevie] It’s sausage. – It is sausage. – It’s a sausage sandwich. – I didn’t know their sausage was square. – I didn’t know you could do sausage on a regular bun. – You’re guessing like, a Wendy’s breakfast sandwich is the round. – Man, I don’t usually do breakfast sandwiches with regular buns. – Me neither. That’s a bit weird to me. I’m not loving it. – Kinda like it. – Does that still exist? (crew laughing) Do we have to make that and wrap it up? I didn’t even know that was the thing. So, breakfast sandwiches at Wendy’s. They were late to the breakfast game. They weren’t playing in that early morning thing. Now, they got in before Taco Bell did, for sure. But I’m thinking. I think it’s 2000s. I think it was pretty late in the game. – 2000s. – That they opened up for breakfast. – [Rhett] Okay. – And I thought they did have biscuits for a while, but sandwiches. – Lot to think about here. Lot to think about. – All right, I’m gonna go for 2000. I want to go a little bit in the ’90s, too. (puck sliding) Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! Oh, gosh! That does not indicate my wishes. – How do you feel? – I just… I don’t know. I don’t have a feel for it. You know? I’m apparently not feeling. Do you agree with me? – I mean… – I’m now stuck in 1940, which is a dumb spot to be. – I feel like it’s not the ’80s because we just did that with the baked potato and it’s definitely not before the ’80s. I mean, when did McDonald’s even do breakfast? I mean, they were doing it when we were kids ’cause my dad got me one of those pancakes one time on a road trip. And I was surprised. I was like, oh, they got pancakes. Huh. Who would’ve known? – Is that the one where you left you in the bathroom for two days? – Yeah. I don’t like to talk about it, but I did have pancakes. – What are you going for? – I can bump you. I can nestle you a little bit further into the 2010s. I’m gonna just kind of make contact with you here. – Because what’s your answer? Same as mine? 2000? – I think ’90s probably is the answer. I mean, what’s the point of bumping you? – It’s fun. – It’s more fun. – It is a bump fest, y’all. (puck sliding) Looks like it’s gonna be a gentle nudge. I like what you’ve done because now my answer’s 2010. I think it could have been that recent. – [Stevie] The entire breakfast menu at Wendy’s debuted pretty dang recently in 2020. – Yes! – [Stevie] Let’s take a long at- – I didn’t know it was that recent. – You’re kidding. – [Stevie] Yeah. No, I’m not kidding. I don’t do that in this game. Let’s take a look at the commercial. – Wendy’s $3 breakfast deal is a bacon or sausage croissants, plus seasoned potatoes for just three bucks. It’s the kind of breakfast that really sticks with you, especially if you’re Tyler. (gentle upbeat music) – [Link] What’s the deal with Tyler? (grill sizzling) – [Rhett] He’s a chef. – [Link] Chef Tyler? – [Rhett] He smells the bacon. (crew cheering) – Tyler. Her breakfast. – Oh. – [Link] I don’t get this. – [Narrator] If you want a breakfast you’ll never forget- – [Link] I don’t know who Tyler is. – [Narrator] Choose wisely. Choose Wendy’s $3 breakfast. – [Rhett] I do now. – Like, why are they trying to bring Tyler into Wendy’s world? – [Stevie] That’s like, their thing, apparently, I guess. I just learned this right now and I also just learned Chase went to school with that guy. (crew laughing) His name is not actually Tyler. – No! – What’s his name, Chase? – [Chase] Bill. – Bill. Oh, yeah. I’m glad they didn’t go with Bill. – Yeah. That ain’t gonna work. (crew laughing) (lively music) (screen beeping) Where’s the beef? – [Rhett] Oh. That’s very gentle. – Not here. This is just Frosty. – Just Frosty. – Classic. I mean, this is an undeniable win for Wendy’s. The big W. – [Rhett] What puts the win in Wendy’s? The Frosty! – Ain’t nobody do it like a Frosty. – It’s always been good. It always will be good. – And the name for it is so great. – I mean, what else could they call it? – I don’t know. Blizzard, McFlurry. – The Frost-b. – It’s different, you know? It’s like, it’s so specific. I love the taste of it. – Hey, Link. Let me just point out. I mean, you’re really on a roll here. Two in a row. How’s it feel? I mean, you have a Queen’s sweep available to you right now. – I’m trying not to listen to your taunting because I feel like- – I would have to win the next three rounds in a row to beat you. – I’m not gonna be confident. – If you win one round- – I’m still trying hard. – If you win one of the next three rounds, you win. – This is pre-’80s. This could be ’50s or ’60s. I think that the Frosty machine, I think it was 1961. – Wow. That is a very specific number. – Love a good Frosty. (puck sliding) Come on. That almost got there. I didn’t quite have enough oomph on it, but. – My guess is that… – 1960. – The Frosty was there from the beginning because when these places opened up back in those early days of fast food, they would usually do burgers and shakes. Burgers, fries, and shakes. But McDonald’s got it all started from a franchise standpoint. I don’t know if Dave Thomas was old enough to found something in the ’50s. I mean, maybe he was. I feel like ’60s is a great guess. But here’s the thing. I have the ability to bounce you. Do a reverse bounce, which you’re so fond of doing. – Uh-oh! – But isn’t there a rule about how far I can bounce you? What is the rule about how far I can bounce you? – You can’t bounce me. You can’t reverse. This is the whole thing we went over, man. Listen. – You’re the one who was so particular about those rules. So do you remember it? – You can’t do a reverse bump that takes me all the way out of contention. – I can’t do a reverse bump that takes you past the top of the pyramid? Are we gonna have to consult the scroll? – We’re gonna have to consult the scroll. – Doggone it! – We hate doing this, but we gotta do it. Oh, Scroll of Shuffle Rules, please refresh our memory. – I think it’s pretty far down here. – We like to make some rules. And then we get mad when we have to refer to them. A reverse bump clear out. – Did we not put this? – Yes, we did. – Did we not have a rule about this? – Yes, we do. – [Rhett] Oh, oh, oh, oh! There’s all, there’s more rules. – Yeah, it’s down there. – Oh, I need a magnifying. Do we have a magnifying glass here? – No. Yes, we do. – Okay, okay. (crew laughing) Okay. Henceforth, bumps of the reverse nature! Here we are! (crew laughing) Are strictly forbidden, except, of course, if Sir Link decides he desires a bump of reverse nature. In such a case, bumps are again legal, but Sir Link may not push his opponent outside of the boundaries of the sacred pyramid. So I can’t institute a bump? – This is making fun of me and I don’t like it. This is misconstruing what I was. Read the other one underneath it. – It says, “Each opponent must bite thine item.” (crew laughing) So you have to eat the item. – Really? – You have to eat the item. – [Link] We added that we have to bite? – That was probably a Sir Link instituted rule ’cause Sir Link probably decided he didn’t want to eat something. And then I said, “I think you gotta eat it.” And then we added it to the scroll. – You can reverse bump, but it can’t be a clear out. It has to stay within the realm of the pyramid. – Which I don’t know if that’s gonna help me very much ’cause that would put you at 1950. But what happens if I do have reverse clear out and you do go beyond? – [Link] You have to put it back in a place in play. – Shoot, man. I think 1960. – Because what was happening was is you were reverse bumping me all the way out and then it was just like not even fun anymore. 1960 Feels like the right answer. The only other acceptable answer would be 1970, if Dave waited really late. So I kind of need to push you into the ’80s. But this is tricky. This is a tricky, tricky bump. This is not a reverse bump. This is a classic bump. – So you were deflecting me into the ’80s and you into the ’60s? – That’s the plan. (puck sliding) Okay, so I didn’t really do anything. I’m closer to my answer, which is the ’60s and the ’50s, but- – I don’t love it. I don’t love it. – I wanted you to be further away from the ’70s. Dang! – [Stevie] Today, the Frosty is one of Wendy’s most popular menu items with over 300 million sold annually worldwide. – They’re good. – [Stevie] But when it was first released, the Frosty was one of only three menu items available on the menu costing just 69 cents in 1969. – We did it! – So you get the point. But I was only eight years off. – Eight years off, Link. – From my guess. (screen beeping) (lively music) – Before we reveal that next item, whoa! You know we’ve got? We stay really well-groomed around here. Our hair- – Got to! – Our lips, our beards. – My hair looks like it does because of Mythical clay pomade. I use it every morning. – My beard looks just like it does because of Mythical beard balm. I use it every morning. – And if you want an original hold, you can use the original pomade. – There’s other grooming stuff. It’s all available at mythical.com. You should get it. Groom yourself. – You can get that sack. (Link cheers) What we got here, homes? We have a Wendy’s chicken sandwich. – [Stevie] Spicy. – Spicy. – Thank you for tip! – Do you have a ‘mater on yours? – Yeah. – Gonna go open-faced ’cause I have to bite it. – Spicy. That’s good. – Is that hot? Is it real spicy. – Link, you’re still in the lead. I never get this. – It’s not too spicy. It’s almost like, black peppery spicy. But I know that it’s more than that. So Wendy’s got in the chicken sandwich game early, like decades before it became like, this chicken sandwich war where everybody’s trying to outdo the other one. But was it spicy? ‘Cause you’re saying it’s specifically the spicy version. – [Stevie] Mm-hmm. – [Link] The spicy was still pretty early. – How early? – 2000s? Would be really… I think they went as early as the ’90s. I think in the ’90s, they had a spicy chicken sandwich. And so here I am, hoping that my lead doesn’t shrivel away, but feeling pretty good about this. ’90s. Nice and ginger. (puck sliding) Come on. Keep crawling, girl! – Thank you for that, Link. – Boo! Boo! – Okay, you’ve really left the door open. All I really have to do is just get past you and not go beyond 1990s or 2000s. I honestly was gonna say the 2010s. You seem to know something about this spicy chicken sandwich that I don’t remember. I don’t remember it before. There was a whole spicy chicken thing that was happening in the teens. The 2010s. But so I would’ve gone all the way back to 2010. So I wanna get past you, but not too far past you. (puck sliding) – Come on, get some heat on it. (Link groans) – [Rhett] Okay. – So I’m closer to 1950. There ain’t no way that’s it. Ain’t no way. – [Stevie] What days was the first major fast food chain restaurant to introduce a spicy chicken sandwich to its menu and customers loved it so much, it became a full-time menu option One year later in 1996. – Wow, Link, you know a whole lot, but your puck game isn’t that strong. – Shoot. My puck game is weak! – [Stevie] Let’s check out a nice ’90s commercial, shall we? Yeah. – [Voiceover] When Dave Thomas created Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich- – [Link] There he is, looking all mellow and old. – [Voiceover] But did he go too far? – Very spicy. – It’s perfect! – [Voiceover] Depends on who you ask. Try Wendy’s spicy- – [Link] Is that supposed to be the where’s the beef woman? – No, they just have a thing for old ladies. – Well, Dave had a thing for old ladies. – Well, some people call that mature. (screen beeping) (lively music) (cloche banging) – There we go. – Make it look cool. Make it look cool. Make it look. No, don’t be slow. – It says hamburger on it. Is that all this is? – It’s probably gotta be a special hamburger. – [Link] Oh, yeah. This is a big honking- – [Rhett] Oh, is it a baconator? – Baconator! Good gosh. – Oh, yeah! – You got a big slab of square patty. You got at least three slices of bacon and cheese and then you’ve got another patty, another slice of cheese. (Rhett cheers) And at least three more. Good gracious. This is too much. This is too much. – It’s definitely excessive. Nobody needs it, but you want it. – I love that beef, man. – We’re tied going into this final round. Because you lost last time, you actually get the advantage of going first. – Great. – [Rhett] Because I cannot bump you in the final round. – I love it. All right, let’s see what I can do. My worst nightmare has come true. Rhett’s back in this. The Baconator. Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon. Bacon of the… Bacon just became everybody’s everything, really thanks to the internet. And in the late 2000s. And again, I think Wendy’s was like, very much on the front line’s pulse on the vein of society. I’m saying 2000. – Okay. – Specifically, I’m saying the year was 2009. – Pretty close to 2010. – Which is why 2010 might be where you want to go, Rhett. – It might be. Wait until it’s my turn and we’ll talk about it. We will talk about it. – So I’m gonna try to block you from getting to 2010. You can’t touch me at all. – If I do, you can put me in any eligible space and move you back to where you were. – [Link] That’s right. – So that would be a death nail. (puck sliding) – Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! Okay, good with that. See, I like the central location of that ’cause you can’t touch me, as I said. – Tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky. – Can’t touch this. – This calls for the finesse of a lifetime, Link, because I believe you’re right. I think it’s in the 2000s. I think it might have been 2006 that the Baconator came out. I have to land in 2000 and not hit you ’cause if I do, you can move me to any eligible space. Wow. Okay. Lots could go wrong here. – I hope it does. (puck sliding) Stop. (Link clapping) – Yes! That was some weak sauce from my boy, Rhett! – Now, will you give me potentially, maybe. You gave, you know, on the Society, we recently played this game. You took two mulligans. I didn’t take any. Would you be willing to give me a mulligan? I mean, what is the rule about the mulligan? What does it say? ‘Cause it says something about a mulligan on there. I’ll pay for one. I’ll give you a bite of my Baconator. – So it’s clear that I’ve won, right? No way it’s 1950. – It’s not gonna be ’50. – You know what? I’ll give you the mulligan because I actually think I owe you one, even without the band episode where I did two mulligans and now owe you at least two. I think I owed you one before that. So just to make it a clean slate. – (laughs) I’ll take it. – I will give you the mulligan. – I’ll take the mulligan. – As much as I don’t wanna do it. – I would’ve loved to have done that successfully without a mulligan. Oh, man, that was, that was a horrible. I’m so… If I touched your puck, it’s over. That’s why I’m so ginger. I’m so ginger today. – If you touch my puck, it’s over. – Yeah. Just like Wendy. Ginger. (puck sliding) – That’s gonna touch my puck. – Oh, dang it! Dang it! (Link clapping) – Okay, so now I get to move me. This is the first time this has ever happened. This is a dramatic moment. I’ve been looking forward to this. I’m gonna move you back to where I was. I’m gonna take you and put you on any eligible one, which is 1950 is eligible. I said that it was 2000. I need to move you. ’80s isn’t eligible, right? 2020 isn’t eligible. Where am I gonna put this thing? – How about 2010? Put me on 2010. – Is 2010 eligible? – Yeah. – Yeah. – Oh, well, then I gotta put you on 2010. Well, what if the answer’s 2010? (crew laughing) – It’s not. It’s the 2000s. It’s gotta be. – There’s no way it was this late. So I’m gonna put you on 2010 right there squarely. And I’m gonna put you all the way over here. – Yeah. Interesting choice. Considering 1950 was available, but too late. – That’s… – Yeah, but you’re touching 2000. You can’t change it now, though. It’s the 2000s, man. 2006 is what I’m guessing. – [Stevie] The famous Baconator features two beef patties, American cheese, and six slices of applewood smoked bacon. It was first unveiled in 2007. – What? – And let’s take a look at the commercial that started all. (crowd screaming) – [Link] That is scary already. – [Rhett] Everyone’s so excited about the Baconator. I get it. – [Link] Why are their faces jumping off of other people’s bodies? – [Rhett] It was somebody’s idea. – [Voiceover] Obsessing over a celebrity? That’s wrong unless that celebrity is bacon. Introducing the Baconator from Wendy’s. Six strips of bacon piled high atop two fresh, never frozen beef patties. – Bacon! – [Link] This is when a guy was playing Wendy. – 2007, man. Weird year. Well, congratulations, Link. You pulled it out fair and square. – Yes! – I swear I exhausted my mulligan. – Oh, so I won. – [Stevie] This is from Dave, to be clear. – Oh, look. – A picture of me, Dave Thomas, and his swanky third wife. Who’s that? – That’s Wendy. – [Stevie] That’s Wendy. (crew laughing) – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not his wife, his daughter. – That’s Wendy? – Thanks for making it awkward. – [Link] She’s not even redheaded! – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Shawn. – Hi, I’m Billy. – And we are watching Good Mythical Morning and drinking Frostys and it’s time to spin the wheel of Mythicality!
