(rooster crows) (lion roars) (wheel clicking) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. – Check your voicemail. We have a voicemail. Let’s check it. – [Man] Cheese fries. – Yeah? That’s it? Okay. – He’s not wrong. (laughs) (both laughing) Let me tell ya right now! – Especially after all those salads. I need me some cheese fries. – So in a second we are going to rank fast food apples because everybody wants to know who’s got the best. – Yeah. – But we do wanna talk a little bit about what we talked about at the top of the show, the Mythical Society. – Yeah here’s to you joining up, be an inaugural membral. Membal. – Be a membal. – Member, get yourself this Mythical Society stein. You can drink out of it, you can keep pens and pencils in it too. I find a stein is great for pens and pencils. – Yeah better for pencils than it is for beverages. So one of the reasons we’re excited about this and it’s something we’ve been talking about doing for a very long, like years, we’ve talked about creating something like this. And finally we kinda had the resources to pull it together to make it happen, and you know, there are a lot of you out there who watch everything that we do, you come to the shows, you buy the merch, you do all these things to kind of express your Mythicality, but we’re like well what if we could do something that gives you another way, a further way to express your Mythicality? And that’s what the Mythical Society is. We’re like let’s create some cool stuff. It’s not for everybody. A lot of the things that we’re doing, it’s not something that we could just do for everybody but let’s do it for a smaller group that just wants to be as Mythical as they can possibly be, and so that’s what Mythical Society is. – Right, it’s creating experiences and physical goods that before this point, never existed. I mean it’s not, you know, there are other types of tiered, pledge money on a monthly basis kind of– – Having trouble today, Link. – Yes. Salad– (Rhett grunting) Salad just doesn’t engage the brain with me. There’s lots of tiered subscription services so to speak that people can do and it’s, well you might be getting things that you were already getting. And we wanna be clear that the Mythical Society and the three tiers that we have, they’re all news things that we’re creating just for the society. – Yeah and maybe another way to say that is, a lot of people have a model where you kinda support them and it is these monthly gifts that allow them to do what they do and we don’t wanna do that because what we’re doing with our shows and our podcast, it’s all ad-supported, it’s all free. And it’s been that way for a really long time. It’s gonna continue to be that way. So if we were gonna do something, it wasn’t so, hey, do this and give on a monthly basis to enable us to make, well no, we don’t need that. We’re gonna continue to make videos. But if we can do things, create new experiences and new products for people who want to kinda go that extra mile, we wanted to create that opportunity for those of you who are interested in it. Again, not for everybody, it’s for those who are super interested in it. – Go to MythicalSociety.com. Check it out, there’s more information over there and we should be very clear on all the details of what we’re offering. – Yes. Okay let’s rank some apples. – Really cool logo too. It’s like yeah, it’s a double Ouroboros. It’s what they call that. – It’s a snake eating itself. A snake eating another snake. Two snakes eating each other. Let’s start with Wendy’s apples. – Well they’re not necessarily snakes. They’re mythical creatures. – Have some Wendy’s apples. It’s a mix of Granny Smith and red. I don’t know if it’s red delicious. It might be honey crisp. Skin on. – Yeah I like the skin on. I think. – It’s where all the fiber is. Mm. Those are good apples. – How do you like them apples? – Yeah. – They good? I don’t have anything to compare to yet but let’s compare it to the McDonald’s apples. – This is the same apple they put in the salad. Efficiency. – Bingo. Now, these McDonald’s apples, they’ve taken the skin off. They’ve done some mechanical carving to these things. – They also have added– – I don’t think Ronald is back there. – They’ve added some stuff to these too. Calcium, ascorbate. Which is a blend of calcium and vitamin C to maintain freshness and color, so– – Put one in your mouth but don’t bite it. Just taste it. That’s not a good experience. – No. It’s not meant to be sucked on. – Mm-mm. – It’s meant to be eaten. – What if we just suck on one of these? It’s a neutral experience. This is– – I typically don’t suck on my apples. – I’m just saying, you can tell they put stuff on it. They’re nowhere near as good as these Wendy’s apples. – It’s not bad but it’s not as good as the more natural approach. A little bit easier to eat. – What do we have here from Jack in the Box? Oh, Jack in the Box sneaks in some sugar. You got some caramel dip with your– – Is Jack in the Box gonna win the apple battle too? – Look at that. – Is that what’s about to happen? – Now I mean this stuff isn’t good for ya. Looks like Thai peanut sauce. – It’s caramel. – And these are all red, red apples, skin on. I’m gonna taste it without the caramel sauce. – Is there anything on these? – Tastes no different than the Wendy’s apples, I don’t think. – The apples also have calcium ascorbate. So the same thing they put on the McDonald’s. They may do it on the Wendy’s, I don’t know, but it comes in a different thing so you don’t know. – I just think that this makes it not as healthy for you. I mean– – It’s also not that good. – Yeah it’s really not. – So we’re saying Wendy’s still a front runner. – Yeah are better than– – Are we moving McDonald’s to the bottom? Are you moving McDonald’s, yeah. – McDonald’s to the bottom. And then we’ve got some, oh, look at this. Burger King just said, you know what. – Just give ’em Mott’s. – Just give ’em a cup. A cup of applesauce. – It doesn’t even say it’s for Burger King. Neither did the Jack in the Box. – Now this takes me back to my middle school lunches, ’cause what I would do is, I would not use a spoon. I would not pack a spoon because I didn’t want to throw away a spoon or launder a spoon. I would just sit here and this stuff is drinkable, you know? I would just sit there at lunch with all my friends who loved me dearly and I would just drink my applesauce. – So at what point in your life did you learn to develop habits that, picking the most annoying way to do things? (crew laughs) Like it’s– – Apparently before middle school. – It’s an interesting thing that you gravitate towards. It’s like, I’m gonna find the most annoying way for the people around me to enjoy this thing and that’s the way I’m going to enjoy it. – Here’s– – And that’s pretty consistent across the board. – But I’m very well-intentioned because I don’t wanna create landfill waste or, with a spoon– – But that can’t be the reason. – Well I didn’t have a spoon. And here’s the other reason. Here is the kicker. You get every little bit because once you get it down to like here, and you slurp that out, I can get every last bit of this out. – [Rhett] I can do that with a spoon as well. – You can’t do that with a spoon. Do it with a spoon, you can’t. – I can do it with a spoon and I can do it in a much– – [Link] It’s how you do it with your tongue. – Like I can continue to have a conversation with you and look at you while I’m doing. No one else wants to eat with you, man. That’s why I was the only one who ate with you. – Every last bit. Got it. Just stick your tongue down in there like an aardvark. Get it all. None left for anyone. A matter of fact, I’ll try to eat this too so it won’t go in the landfill. No but that’s how I would do it. Every day at lunch and I did have, I had one friend. (chuckles) – Yeah, you guys see what I’ve been through for 35 years. – No, but– – I deserve a pin. I finally got one. – You can’t get all of the sauce out with that spoon. – I can get enough, you know? – You can’t get it all. Look at that, that is clean as a whistle. (whistles) – Well I’m not trying to use it for something else. I’m not trying to pack peanuts in it later. I’m just trying to throw it away. – That’s a good idea, I could pack peanuts in this later. – But where does it rank? Where does the applesauce rank on the spectrum? – Number one. Number one. – Not a chance. – I love it. I love things that I don’t have to chew. That’s for you man, you get annoyed when I chew too. – I’m putting it– – The one time I don’t chew, you’re still annoyed. – Bingo. (laughs) – [Link] Move at the speed of conversation with us.
