It’s a showdown of the two worst sub spots. Jimmy John’s versus subway. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. What’s your least favorite kind of sub? Uh, sub committees. Suboptimal vacation itineraries. Sub zero from Mortal Kombat? Subpar substitute teachers. Submarines that aren’t yellow? Subjugation Mrs. Subbers. Our 8th grade english teacher. Mmm. Subprime mortgages. Okay, according to the Food Feud records, the objectively worst fast food sub chains… are Jimmy John’s and Subway. Yeah, sorry if you disagree. These are the facts. But only one has what it takes to be even worse then second worst. It’s time for food feuds. Jimmy John’s versus subway. Worst of the worst showdown. I hate to do this while we’re rolling, but I specifically asked if we could start the episode so that my eyes could see. Three sandwiches. I wanted three sandwiches in the frame. Can we. Can someone rectify that, please? In 1913, Henry Ford forged the future. The advent of the assembly line proved to be such a gargantuan leap forward that automobiles could now be built faster than paint could dry. In other words, anything is possible. But how far could we take this marvelous system of automatonless autonomation? Could we have flying cars by the year 2011? Could we make life easier for all with the mass production of robot butlers? Perhaps… Or perhaps we could trust our guts and implement the ultimate application of the assembly line constructing, salivation worthy sandwiches. The workers on these lines call themselves artists, but don’t let their greasy smocks fool you. They are the children of innovation. Their forefathers baked breads and brought home the bacon. Until their sandwich shops were more synonymous with neighborhood corners than David Simon. You know David Simon? The wire treme at the corner. Oh, yeah. Okay. David Simon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Today, two such shops, subway and Jimmy John’s, will face off in a bready royale like none we have seen before. When the crust settles, shall we relish in the way of the sub or crown the hero with two first names? I ask, your mouths answer. We are ready. All right. We are ready. See you, guys. Good luck. Wow. Is that what you wanted, Stevie? Three sandwiches? There was, like an uncomfortable amount of silence. It seemed like everyone was scared that all of a sudden, I’ve had it. Was he the third sandwich? I don’t. He had a sandwich on his shirt. He had a sandwich on his shirt. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Anyway… I saw it immediately. We’re gonna kick things off with italian subs. On Rhett’s side is Jimmy John’s. Italian nightclub for $10.99. And on Link’s side is Subway’s the ultimate BMT for $12.29. Are you sure this isn’t just like… a bread with nothing in it? Oh, oh wait, I gotta look at it that way. It’s Jimmy John’s back at it again with the bread side. Now hold on. Of their sub. I will say, because there’s not a lot of non meat and cheese toppings on this one. It feels like it’s a less offensive thing. It’s less offensive… You’re gonna have to just learn to live with it. They make it like a taco. I mean, should I eat it like a taco? Eat it like a taco. I’m not gonna eat it like a, like it. In terms of ingredients, it’s not that bad. The only thing for me is the bread stuff. I actually like their bread except for that part. So how are you gonna incorporate that into every single one of them up? But see, oh, they’re doing it here too. They do it at Subway. They do it at Subway. They do it at Subway. But there’s so many other things to complain about with subway that I don’t focus on. Yeah, you don’t get there. This is not gonna be easy. There’s not as much. Well, I guess it’s the same amount of meat, give or take. Hmm. I like the Jimmy John’s bread better. I like the Jimmy John’s meat better. But there’s a salami in the subway that’s very pungent… and that’s kind of missing from the Jimmy John’s. What is it? I don’t know. I’m a salami. I’m a salami guy. And I actually think that Jimmy John’s is just much more classic in a good way. And there’s something happening I can’t even really describe… with Subway. You can only describe it as Subway is subwaying. You know what I mean? Jimmy John’s. I’m gonna give it a seven. I agree. I’m gonna give that a seven. This isn’t horrible by any means. I’m gonna give it a five. I’m gonna give it a five as well. I just don’t love the bread as much or the meat quite as much. Yeah, it’s just mid. We’re going cold turkey. Next on rut side, you’ve got Jimmy John’s beach club for $10.99. And on link side is Subway’s oven roasted turkey with added avocado for $14.04. Gracious $14. So we added the avocado because the beach club from Jimmy John’s has an avocado spread. Why is it called a beach club? Because there’s cucumber on it. I just feel like, you know, this is the kind of thing you eat out on the coastline. I have no idea, Link. Actually, it’s very simple if not boring. You know, straight up turkey. You need the other meats. Also, reminder that the crew’s Food Feuds tournament is still going on. Lauren is in lead. Lisa is right behind her, though. Okay, is there. Are we getting any traction online, or does nobody care? Oh, the traction meter is through the roof. People care. Oh. Everyone’s like is Lauren gonna take it, you know, and they’re, like, garnering their own fandoms. I just don’t get the sense that anybody here cares. Davin really cares. Davin cares the most. Well, why isn’t he winning then? He’s the game master. Yeah, that’s it. He said master to me, so that’s how I knew. There’s something. I don’t know what it is. It feels like if you put these ingredients together that you couldn’t make it taste bad, but somehow it happened with that Subway sub. They just made it taste bad. What happened? All the pieces don’t come together to make a meal. See, look at it. When you put it down, it’s just like, blah. It’s not like this is even that great. This is a six. Yeah, I’m gonna give this. I mean, I don’t like cucumber. I’m just eating it. Cause I can tolerate it You can tolerate it? I can tolerate it. But I’m gonna give it a four. The turkey is good, though. There are meat choices, but the Subway. Turkey’s got brown on the edge. That brown edge turkey. That’s not a demerit. I know that may be good. It just doesn’t taste as good. I’m gonna zero in on the turkey here. I did just learn that other people on the crew do really care. In fact, one crew member has gone back through old episodes… to do research in order to inform her, guessing before each food feud. Who’s that? Amy? You really guessed that one? Yeah, it’s definitely Amy. What are you gonna give to Jimmy John’s? I think I already gave it something, but I don’t know what it was. Six. Yeah, you did. Yep. I gave it a four. I’m giving this Subway sandwich… a three. I’m giving it a four. We’re moving on. To wraps. On Rhett’s side, you have the Jimmy John’s jalapeno ranch chicken wrap for $11.99. And on Link’s side is Subway’s elite chicken and bacon ranch wrap for $13.69. Elite, you say? Yeah, we’ll see about that. So the Jimmy John’s, it’s got jalapeno ranch, crispy jalapenos, red pepper flakes. So let’s see if it packs a punch. The Subway, it’s got peppercorn ranch. Doesn’t really seem to want to pack a punch. It looks juicy and saucy. Now, Link, the wrap doesn’t have the same Jimmy John’s issues for you. I like the wrap. It’s all the way around. Everything’s in the middle. It does pack a punch. A wrap can be dry. This is not a dry wrap. Yeah, I don’t like a dry wrap. I never order these. It’s a unit of spicy, which I want likey. I wanna keep going back to it, but — Yeah, that’s — Don’t wanna get too full. That’s pretty good. Let’s go over here. Now this thing’s got peppercorn ranch, bacon, rotisserie style chicken. But why is it elite? I kinda see. That’s the best thing we’ve had from subway maybe ever. It’s still not as good as this one, though. Pretty good. I don’t know. I feel like I gotta go back. Is the bread at subway the thing that’s bad? Is that what we’re discovering? Yeah, I think that’s what smells like a hospital. This one’s. It’s got that. It’s got some cheesy two X Monterey cheddar that’s helping us out here. As opposed to the provolone, which is just kind of blending into Jimmy John. I’d say four. Subway, that’s elite. You did it. Now you’re still not going to get a better score than this. This is one of the better wraps I’ve had. I mean, on a scale of wraps, I’m going to give it a nine. It’s so spicy. I agree. I’m also giving it a nine. Cause it really packs that punched. But I want to throw Subway a bone over here. Yeah, they need more bones at subway. Yeah, they need put bone in. Bone in sub. Can you do a bone in sub? Yeah, there you go… But the wrap itself is so dry and unmalleable. This one is like. I like a soft top. Supple, leathery. I feel like I want a wrap that is supple enough to, like, wrap myself in if I get injured or something. Sure. The chicken itself is very good over here. It’s just that the wrap doesn’t get me there. It’s a seven for me, though. I mean, that’s a great score for Subway. Yep. I’ll give it a nice seven as well… Full agreement. Yep. On the same page. Have you noticed what I’m wearing? A nice spooky pin there. Yes, it looks like us as ghosts. It might be behind. It might be something that will haunt your households from the great beyond. Yes, it is. The new sparkly spooky GMM desk pin of the month, available for 24 hours only. That’s how we do it, y’all, 24 hours only. You gotta go over to mythical.com and get it while you can. It’s sparkly. Get it. Okay, we’re gonna do a little dessert break here. On Rhett’s side, our Jimmy John’s chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies for $2.99 each. And link side, our subway’s chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies for $1.25 each. And remember, desserts in this case are gonna be judged on a one to five scale. Cause we don’t wanna… overpowering you. Well, Jimmy John’s got em on size. But that doesn’t mean too much when it comes to a cookie. Doesn’t mean too much? So. Nope. Cause this Jimmy John’s cookie here is a little more crumbly than I thought it was gonna be. Don’t love the taste. It’s not jumping out at me and saying, buy me again. I actually like the chocolate chip better than the oatmeal, but they’re both pretty solid cookies. I’m not wowed. Okay. I’m gonna stick with the oatmeal. Go back to back oatmeal here. I’m trying to get the middle of the cookie. Cause that’s the part I like the most. Lots more raisins over here. It’s almost fruity. Well, you know, a raisin is a fruit. Yep. It’s chewier. It’s a chewier cookie. It’s not as flavorful, though. It doesn’t have as much oatmeal flavor. I think that oatmeal cookie tastes better. I will say all of these cookies look much more welcoming in this particular environment than they do when you’re at. The cage. Under the glass. The cookie cage. They’re not bad cookies. No. There’s something nostalgic about. And these are not great the chocolate chip cookie from subway. There are some really, really good cookies, fast food cookies. I can’t remember where they come from because not here. Blurs together in my mind. I would not recommend ordering any of these cookies. I’m gonna give the Jimmy John’s six. Oh, yeah. Is what I’m gonna say. It’s out of five. Oh. So three. I’m gonna give it a. I’ll give it a three. And I’ll give subway a two. Two as well. That’s what I’m gonna do. Yep. Can you tell that the sadness is sinking in? I mean, I was gonna say, cheer up. There’s one more round. We just keep agreeing with each other. I mean, one of us could have taken the day off, man. Well, I wish it would have been me. Then. Lastly, we have tuna subs. On Rhett’s side is Jimmy John’s club tuna for $10.99. And on Link’s side, subway’s tuna for $11.69. Don’t you love tuna right after cookies? Well, I’m just. Yes. This is giving me such an emotional boost. The dessert. To my dessert, tuna. Thank you. Okay, just give it a nice little. I’m gonna get the oatmeal and chocolate out of my mouth. But I put fish in there. So there’s bacon on this one. Am I seeing this, right? There’s bacon on the Subway one Bacon on the subway. Mm hmm. Which I completely welcome, even though we did not expect that. On tuna sub you welcome bacon? Yeah. I welcome bacon, period. Anything, anything to make it better. This is not doing anything for me. It’s so uninteresting, bland. If this. If this sandwich came to a party and tried to talk to me, I don’t know you. I would find something else to do. I would be like, I have got to go use the bathroom. Even if I had just come back from the bathroom. Oh, I gotta go back to the bathroom. He must be drinking a lot. Mm hmm. I’m gonna go get a drink. Would you like one? Actually… I don’t think I’m coming back. No, I’m not coming back. So I don’t know what to do about the fact that it does have bacon on it. Is that gonna make us like it better? Uh huh. So, yeah, it’s not supposed to have bacon on it. They just put bacon on it, took the order. Did they know what this was for? We’re gonna add bacon. Did they know they were about to be judged? Put bacon on it. Don’t let that thing out of here. I think that person works at Mythical. Bacon helps a little bit. I say bacon’s helping quite a bit. I’m eating a little piece with no bacon. Uninvited bacon. The tuna is more fishy here than at Jimmy John’s. I think Jimmy John’s has blandified his. Tuna, which, if you’re gonna get tuna, get tuna. You know what I’m saying? If you’re gonna get tuna, get bacon. This is not great. We’re back on a scale of one to ten. I’m gonna give this a five, and I’m gonna… remove the bacon from my mind, and I’m gonna give it a five. They tie. I’m letting the bacon sing. I’m gonna give it a six. It needs all the help it can get. Our overall scores, though, are subway with 46 and Jimmy Johns with 58. Wow. So our battle of the bottom of the barrel actually wasn’t even that close, even with subway adding bacon. Congratulations, Jimmy Johns. Even though you wrap your subs in a way that really displeases link and kind of displeases me just not as much as him. You are officially the sub just above and have won the chance to sponsor a future episode of GMM. I know you want to scratch that. They don’t think they’re going to give us a call. Give us a call. Maybe I can do a deal with you. I got to say, the bacon wasn’t just an upset for me. It was an upset for the crew tournament, because things… are different now. But I will say Lisa and Silaine are now tied for first. Lauren is out of it. Lauren is in third place. Oh, bronze. And… Everybody cares. Third person. And also, Amy’s research is paying off because she did have the highest score for this particular episode. Oh, well, I don’t know how I feel about that.
