GMMore 1940: Guess These Punny Restaurant Names (Game)

(rooster crowing) (creature growling) (dramatic music) – Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Let’s explore the ultra punny, potentially cringey world of restaurant names together. – Random disturbing fact. I’m actually going to let this be a fill in the blank. – Okay. – I’ll give you a guess. Humans may shed blank pounds of skin in their lifetime. – Lifetime. – How many pounds of skin that you shed? – 41 pounds. – Oh! 77. – Even more. 77 pounds! Most of this in the form of tiny flakes, which make up a major constituent of house dust, but there is a case ever so often where one person will lose 77 pounds of skin cells all at once. It’s like, boom. – Whoop, there it goes. – Just get it all done in one- – It says between 0.06 and 0.2 pounds of skin every hour. That 0.2 pounds of skin every hour. No, I mean, if you’re losing 0.2 pounds of skin every hour, you are being sanded by something. I mean, it’s like. (yells) It’s like, yeah, that’s a problem. That’s a problem. – It’s called exfoliation, Rhett. – You’re being really exfoliated. – Hello. Okay, so Stevie, the premise of this is what? You’re gonna tell us, you’re gonna describe a restaurant and then you’re gonna give us two options for what the ridiculous but absolutely real punny name of that restaurant is. – [Stevie] Yeah, but before that, I just wanna see you try and come up with it before the options. – Okay. – [Stevie] So let me give you a, let’s start. Let me give you an example. There’s a coffee spot in Coleman, Michigan with a Star Trek-themed name. – Coffee spot in Michigan, Star Trek- – Spock… Live Long and Coffee. – [Stevie] That’s pretty good, that’s pretty good. – What about it’s U.S.S. Coffeeprise? What about To Infinity and Creamer? That’s “Toy Story.” – That’s “Toy Story.” (audience laughing) – Star Trek theme? – What did the doctor, what did the Doc say? What was his saying? – “Beam me up, Scotty?” – Yes, Bean Me Up! – [Stevie] Heck, yeah! – Yes! – I knew that was it. (claps) Yeah. – [Stevie] You got it. – Bean Me Up. We wanted to give a shout out to our friend, Anna, who we met, as she said, in the Wheel video, through Make-A-Wish. It was cool to be able to hang out with her. You know, sometimes we have people come through as a result of Make-A-Wish and they can hang out with us in person. With the pandemic, we’re gonna have to do the remote thing with Anna, but it was really cool to meet her and hang out with her a little bit. We’re beaming in directly from our set. I can tell that you also have a set. – Yeah, you got some stained glass there. This is, okay, give me the story behind that. – We’re fancy. – Yeah, I guess we’re just very pristine and proper. (both laughing) We also have giant decorative silverware we could probably hit somebody with. – You might have to pan your camera now that you’ve mentioned giant decorative silverware. – Over to the side here, you can- – Oh, wow. – Oh, that’s nice. – Choose a weapon. – I love it. Is there anything else on your wall that you really feel like you need to show us, because you know we’ll be into it? – We have some letters hanging on the side here that just say eat. – Hey, listen, I like the way y’all think. I mean, you got eat and utensils just up in the room, and this is Texas. I mean, I get it. – It’s just very clear what you’re supposed to do in this room specifically. (all laughing) – Nothing gets us going like giant utensils. – And just being told to eat. I mean, I love to be told to eat. Shoutout to Anna. Thanks so much for spending some time with us. – Okay, Stevie, let’s hear another one. Bean Me Up, that was great. And then, right after that, I said, we’re beaming you in. – You know what? We’re gonna get all of these. – We’re beaming everything. – We’re gonna get every one of these right. – Okay, okay, okay. – [Stevie] In Sandusky, Ohio, there’s a hot wings spot with a particular movie themed name. You don’t get the actual movie in this one. It’s just a movie and it’s hot wings. – Okay, so, Some Like It Hot Wings? – [Stevie] Oh, that’s good. – Let’s see, I do know a lot of movies. Let me access my… (audience laughing) – Hot Fuzz Wings. – [Stevie] This is a movie you actually know, Link, and it might be one of your favorite movies, and/or you just talk about it at a frequent- – Lord of the Wings! – Yeah! – Yes! – Yes, that’s it! Hey. (laughs) – [Stevie] I do like the one that the writers came up with, That Wing You Do. – That’s good. Somebody should take that. Somebody should- – Such a great movie. In Nashville, Tennessee, there is a yellow VW bus hot dog stand with a name resembling a 1960s sitcom. – 1960s, I Dream of Weenie. – [Stevie] Oh my- – Wow! – [Stevie] God. – Good, man! – Whoo! – Dang. – I told you, we were gonna get every one of these. – Immediately! I Dream of Weenie. – [Stevie] I do like the alt, which was- – Listen, just the first- – I’m not, I’ve never heard of this place. I said, ’60s, I saw her doing her nose wiggle, I was like, “I Dream of Jeannie” and weenie, it just happens. – [Stevie] That’s crazy. I do like the alt, which was Leave it to Wiener. (all laughing) – That’s also really good. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Stevie] Oh yeah, yeah, Chase makes a good point. The nose wiggle’s “Bewitched.” It wasn’t the Jeannie. – See? It didn’t even matter. I didn’t even have the reference right. – That’s right. – [Stevie] That’s crazy. Are you sure these aren’t somewhere that you’re like… – Did you watch those? – Yeah. – I watched ’em too, ever afternoon. – I wasn’t committed- – “I Dream of Jeannie.” – About, with anything. I didn’t like keep up and be like, I gotta be there. It’s just like, oh, that show’s on, I’m gonna watch it. – [Stevie] I was committed to “The Brady Bunch.” I love “The Brady Bunch.” – I never got into “The Brady Bunch.” But I like “Bewitched” and I liked “I Dream of Jeannie,” both of those. – [Stevie] One North American chain restaurant serves salads in the core of hollowed-out baguettes, and they have a name that sounds like a famous band from the ’60s and ’70s. – Okay. – Hollowed out baguettes. – Baguettes with salad. That sounds horrible, by the way. Salad inside of a baguette. – Heart like, thinking like the heart, well, Bread was a band from the ’60s. – Well, Heart was a band. – ’60s and ’70s, well now, Bread was more ’70s. – But I’m trying to think, what would they call a salad in a baguette? Like? – Stuffed… Full of, oh, oh! Okay, Earth, Wind and Fire, think Earth, Wind and Fire, and replace it with things. – Baguette, salad and dressing? (audience laughing) – I’m not on the right track, am I? Dang it, this one- – [Stevie] You haven’t landed on the right band yet. – But is it, but I don’t know what, but is it key to know what this dish is called, because I don’t know what that is? – Let’s start with what you’re good at. You know bands from the ’60s and ’70s. – But there’s a lot of those. – But okay, a band that was really popular in the ’60s and ’70s, so popular that you would name a restaurant after it that’s no longer around, right? They’re not still playing, they’re the ’60s and ’70s. – [Stevie] Mm, yeah. – Led Zeppelin. – Okay. – Red Zeppelin. – Yes! – See? I told you. You gotta go, you gotta take it that way, man. You got it! – Hey, that’s pretty good. So again- – Oh, a zeppelin, it’s a baguette. – Oh! – A zeppelin. – A blimp. Blimpie. – Yeah. – Like a blimpie. – [Stevie] The Grateful Bread was the writers’ pitch, which was also pretty fun. – Red Zeppelin. – But Grateful Bread’s still around. – I didn’t even know that I was getting it, and we got it. First guess again. – You gotta start, you gotta go with the thing that’s easy to get to, and then you gotta take the hard way. – Okay. – [Stevie] In Port Angeles, Washington, there’s a salad and sandwich restaurant with menu items like the B.L.A.S.T., a pita sandwich with bacon, lettuce, avocado, sprouts, and a tomato creamy Sriracha. What is the restaurant called? – Blast from the Past? – Uh… – [Stevie] This one’s a little broader, I suppose. – Acronames, Acronyms? – It’s broader? – It’s in Washington. – [Stevie] Um, let me give you something else. – Salad and sandwich, menu items like. – [Stevie] It’s a, the name of the restaurant is music-based, music-based and vegetables. – Music-based and vegetables, so like Rhythm and Brussels or? – [Stevie] Yeah, you’re playing in the right area. – Rock n’ roll- – Oh yeah, here we go. Okay. – I mean, ’cause you got- – [Both] Wok n’ roll. – That’s not gonna happen with a sandwich shop. – Broc n’ roll. – [Stevie] No, it’s good, but no. – Uh… – [Stevie] Think root vegetables. – Carrot, potato. – Root vegetables? – [Both] Beet. – The Beet Goes On. – [Stevie] It’s something with beet. – Rock the Beet. – Beet… – [Stevie] There’s another root vegetable involved. – Uh… – Beat the carrot? (audience laughing) – Okay, I was gonna say Beet our Meat, but- – Beat the Tater. Another root vegetable. Well, I mean, root vegetables, let’s think about root vegetables. You got- – Beet Down. – You’ve got potatoes, carrots. – There’s another root vegetable? – Rutabaga? – [Stevie] No, but I wouldn’t say, yes, this is a root vegetable that you don’t, you probably don’t eat often. But it is- – Rhubarb. – [Stevie] Maybe a Southern thing? – So it’s like beet and- – Yams. – [Stevie] It’s blank the Beet. – We got the beet. – What do you do to the beet? – Follow the beet, keep the beet. Dance to the beet. – You eat the beet. You eat the beet. – Uh. – [Stevie] If you were to increase the volume to the beet. – Increase the Beet. – Oh! Turnip the Beet! – [Stevie] Yep. – Ah, okay. – Turnip. – We got too many hints on that one. That doesn’t count. – Yeah. – That one’s lame, though. ‘Cause do you wanna eat anywhere that has turnip in the name? – No. – Do you wanna watch a podcast, or listen to a podcast with biscuits in the name? – Yes, I do. – Check out our podcast, “Ear Biscuits.” Two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time, about an hour, and yeah, we never know what we’re gonna say to each other. – Yeah. – Sometimes, wow. We surprise ourselves. – It’s not scripted. – No. Why would it be? – Actually, you know- – We have a lifetime of shared experiences. – “Ear Biscuits” is actually a scripted podcast that’s made to seem like it’s just two guys talking. – Right. We’ll tell you that. – Yeah. – Don’t tell anybody else. – It’s all written ahead of time. – [Stevie] In Saratoga, New York, there was a grilled cheese truck that is unfortunately no longer in operation, but it did have a very fun name. What was it? – There’s no hints in this. – [Stevie] Grilled cheese. It’s a cheese pun. – Uh… – Cheddar… – Chesus? – Grilled Chesus? – Grilled Chesus. – [Stevie] That’s good, but it’s not it. – Uh… – Grilled cheese truck. – Uh… – There’s one of those here, and it’s just called what? – The Grilled Cheese Truck. – The Grilled Cheese Truck. (audience laughing) – It’s really good. I think that, well, that’s what we call it. I don’t know. Man, okay. So it’s a cheese pun. – Is it a specific type- – Of cheese? – Is it a type of cheese? – [Stevie] Mm, no. – Oh. – It’s just the word cheese that is involved in it. – Okay, Say Cheese Truck. – It did have a very fun, this is a very fun name? – Cheesy… – Cheesy Wheels? – Cheesy- – It’s just fun. Take the very out. – It’s just fun, it’s just a little fun. Cheese Louise. ♪ Cheese ♪ – [Stevie] You want the two options? – No. I want just a little bit of a hint. – Chief Cheese. Cheeky Cheese. – I don’t know if I can give you, it’s a pun that involves the word cheese. – Sweet Cheese. Sweet Cheeks Cheese. – Does it involved the word grilled cheese? – No. – Cheese, cheese. Cheese, I’m trying to think of other things that cheese might sound like. – Give us the options. – Cheese, Say Cheese, okay, whatever. Give us the options, I guess, I give up. – Is it A- – [Stevie] Cheese the Day. – Oh. – Or, Cheesy Does It? – Cheesy Does It. – I, I mean, they’re both pretty good. – Cheesy Does It is better. – Okay, Cheesy Does It. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s Cheesy Does It. – Okay. – [Stevie] In Atlanta, there is a health food cafe with the slogan, “Healthy Habits Start Here.” So that’s all I got for a hint. It’s a health food cafe. So we’re back in, you know, veggie territory. – Health Yeah. (audience laughing) What the Health? – Health Me, Rhonda. – Health Yourself. (audience laughing) Health, Health Me, Rhonda. (laughs) – I’m still in music territory. – Does “Healthy Habits Start Here” have anything to do with it? – [Stevie] Mm-mm. – Does health have anything to do with it? – [Stevie] Yeah. It’s a vegetable. – I don’t like these places. (laughs) – [Stevie] You want the two options? – Kale Me Maybe. – [Stevie] Oh, you are so close. – I’m still doing music puns. – [Stevie] You are so close. – Kale Me Later. Kale Me for a Good Time. – [Stevie] Think more- – That’s good. – Like present day music, I would say. – Present day? – Today’s music. – Is kale being used in the terms, in kill? Like kill? – Kale Me blank. Oh wait. – Kale Me Baby. – [Stevie] I was thinking of another song, but it’s Kale Me blank. – Kale Me, what is kale, I don’t even know what? – Kale Me Softly. – [Stevie] Close. – Kale Me Hard. (audience laughing) Kaling Me Softly. – It’s not, I was thinking of a song that has nothing to do with this, it’s just a phrase. Kale Me. It’s Kale Me Crazy. – Oh, Kale Me Crazy. – [Stevie] I was thinking Kale Me Maybe. – Yeah, that’s, well, yeah. So was I, at one point. – I thought I said that. – [Stevie] Kale Me Crazy. – Oh. – Kale Me Crazy, that’s pretty good. – [Stevie] The alt name was Yass Green. – (laughs) That’s good, too. – [Stevie] You can be done. – That’s a good one. – That’s it? We’re done? – [Stevie] I mean, I have another one, but. – No, I want- – I wanna get- – I want one more. – I wanna end on one that we get without help. – [Stevie] Okay. – And if we don’t, you can just repeat a question from earlier than we did get without help. – If you don’t, you can just kale us. – [Stevie] In Alexandria, Virginia, there’s a frozen custard shop with flavors like Almond Joy, After Dinner Mint, and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. And what is it called? It’s a frozen custard shop. – Frozen custard? – [Stevie] Yep. – Does custard have anything to do with it? – Fro-yo. – [Stevie] To an extent. – Cuss. – Fro- – The word custard is not used, no. – General Custard. (both laugh) Fro-yo, so fro-yo is in it? – That’s frozen yogurt. – [Stevie] It is a movie pun. – Movie pun. – Frozen. – A Frozen Good Men. (audience laughing) – I Wanna Build a Snowman. (audience laughing) In Your Mouth. (both laughing) – That’s a slogan, not the text, not the restaurant name. – [Both] I Wanna Build a Snowman. – [Stevie] It’s a movie title pun. – Ice… – Ice, Ice- – [Stevie] Why don’t we land on the- – Crazy? – What else is a descriptor or base or ingredient of custard? – Cream. – Close. – Ice. – Sugar. – No, what is the broad- – Milk. – [Stevie] Yeah, what is the broad category that cream and milk- – Dairy. – Dairy. – Okay, yeah, dairy. – Oh, okay. Dairy. – Dairy, Truth or Dairy? – Dairy- – Truth or Dairy? That has to be it. Dairy… – [Stevie] It’s not, it’s not good, I will say. (audience laughing) I feel sad that we’re ending on this, but I feel happy with the one that the writers made up instead. – Dairy, Indiana. – All right, let’s see what they are. – [Stevie] It’s the Dairy Godmother is what it’s called. – Oh, okay. – Well, you could’ve let us guess which one. – [Stevie] Okay, sorry. – We could’ve gone out on a win. – [Stevie] But I said the one that the- – Well, what’s the other one? – [Stevie] The writers came up with was really good. There’s Something About Dairy. That’s clearly- – That’s good. – [Stevie] Really good. – Oh, yeah, I’d eat there. – It doesn’t say custard shop to me, though, writers. Keep working on it. (audience laughing) – What? You think it’s a milk store? – It’s too broad. It’s just like a milk campaign. – But if you saw it, if it was in a little strip mall with a little ice cream cone next to it? (upbeat music) You’d get on it. – You’re not gonna convince me. – Okay, well, I’ll open it up by myself. – [Link] We can see into the future, and we predict you’re gonna want the Outlook Mythical tee, available now at mythical.com.
