GMMore 2021: Who Has The Best Fried Chicken Sandwich Bun?

(rooster crows, lion roars) – Welcome to Good Mythical More, I’m about to cry. It’s something about the wheel video that we just watched made me emotional. – But first before we–oh yeah, you need me to say what we’re going to do. Say we’re going to do. – Can I say we’re gonna do? – Yeah, yeah. – We’re going to taste the chicken sandwich buns from all of these fast food restaurants and find out which one of those is the best, because, as we all know, that’s the most important part of a chicken sandwich. I mean, it is a legitimate part. – We’re going to take a new selfie. This one’s called “That Gogurt was Definitely Expired.” (Rhett quietly yelps, camera shutter clicks) – Hear that little noise I made? – Yeah, that’s going to come through in the selfie. – Yeah, yeah. Those method selfies. – All right, so how do you want to start these? You want to just start with? – Whatever suits your fancy, – You know what? Popeye’s had a big moment and it just kind of continues – Let me tell you a little bit about Popeye’s. It is a brioche bun and according to Nicole, and that just isn’t any Nicole out on the internet. That’s our very own Nicole from the Mythical Kitchen. Brioche is buttery French bread and it’s sexy, pillowy goodness. Sexy, pillowy goodness. – There ya go. – I’m doing the top and the bottom together. – Yeah, I think I am too. And I’m going to go a little bit in from the side. – I feel like I can taste that there was, was there chicken on it? No, I don’t think there was chicken. I think they asked for just the buns. – Yeah, I don’t see any chicken residue. We completely isolated. – I taste a little pickle residue, though. – I, I do too. I see a little residue on your face. – What’re you talking about? – Maybe in like this area. – I think that they did disassemble these, the sandwiches. – Yeah, they did. That’s okay. – It’s okay, okay. – Buttery goodness, we’re going to each rank these on a scale of one to 10 independently. – Hmm, I don’t know how much worse or how much better it can get. Like, it’s very – Yeah, it’s nice. I don’t, yeah. I don’t feel like I can rank it too high. – This is gonna set a scale. I’m going to say seven, but then I’m going to have to just orient my scale around that, so yeah. – I’m going to give it a six and then I reserve the right to come back around to Popeye’s at the end. So let’s do that. – I’m going to have my own stack over here. – Well, there’s only one flag. – Yeah. It could get confusing. – Let’s go with KFC next. KFC is a brioche style bun. Nicole said that this, she didn’t say anything. – She said nothing about this, but don’t let that give you pause. – So yeah, here’s a good look at the top. The bottom kind of has a McDonald’s kind of a vibe. – So basically, that shiny-ness, I guess, is if they put, like. I always thought it was because they put butter on it as it was cooking, but I think it’s, they put egg whites on it. – You can definitely see the – Egg wash. – The pickle place. You see the pickle place? Yeah. Well, that’s got pickle placement for sure. – Got a pickle place. So I’m gonna try to, I’m gonna give you half of the pickle place. I’m gonna keep the label. I gotta say, this one’s softer and more pillowy. – I think it’s a little…chewier. I would say it’s chewier. – I’d say that, too. I’m trying to get away from the pickle place, cause that, it’s too much. – It’s almost equal to me, but I’m going to go six, cause it’s a little chewier. – Hmm. See, I can go back to the Popeye’s. – I mean, they could be made by the same people, – But they’re not. – They’re not. – If you found out that – I don’t like it as good. I’m going to give it a five – All the way down to a five? – Yep. – You just make sure you keep those in an order of tasting so that mine will make sense over here. – All right, I am. What you want to go with next? McDonald’s? Give me some McDonald’s. – Now, I’ve only had the McDonald’s chicken sandwich on the show, and we were told that they didn’t put enough sauce on it. So we didn’t really give it a fair shake. – I went through the drive through of a McDonald’s and I was like, you know what? I’m going to try to make a healthier choice, but I don’t want a salad. – They’ve done away with all the healthy choices. – I said, “give me a grilled chicken sandwich” and they were like, “we don’t have that.” – Not only–do you remember? – They don’t have that. – So, you remember how back in like the early 2000s, – They forced me into fries – McDonald’s was doing this thing where they started trying to get a little healthier, and they started doing those wraps. It was just like, a tortilla. – Remember the McLean? – They had a whole section of salads that were pretty good. Correct me if I’m wrong, they’ve gone away from all of that. And it might be, it could be like, you know, the way that the supply chains and everything in the world has been messed up – This has got a perforation on it. – Made it harder to be healthy, but they’ve done away with all the healthy options. – I think they just came to grips with who they were and what people wanted from them. – Quit trying so hard, I guess. – This is a buttered potato roll with a perforation for ripping. There you go, good buddy, – Now I always thought that potato bread was supposed to be good because like, Greg, it seems like Greg had potato bread and he would talk about potato bread like it was something better than regular bread. – We discovered it in college. You’re exactly right. And once you go potato bread, it’s hard to go back until you realize it’s more calories. – It’s not any different. – It is different. It’s better. Potato bread is like, it’s heavier and, – It’s not better than brioche to me. – Well, we didn’t have brioche in our college apartment. – Oh, it’s better than straight up white bread. – Yeah! – That’s what you’re saying. Yeah. – This one has – It’s a little dry – McDonald’s, I can taste the McDonald’s air in this. – Yeah, like the inside of a McDonald’s where you used to have your birthday parties. – I’m serious. I can taste it. – Four. I don’t like it. – Like, suck on it. – What? – Suck on it. And you can taste the air. – Well, too late for that. – Three. – Okay, I want to remind you guys. We’re doing the Golden Tee of Mythicality giveaway again this year. We got all new silver tee design and three prizes. So basically, this is where you buy the t-shirt and that essentially enters you into a raffle for you to be able to win one of three different prizes. You’re all going to get the t-shirt. But you might get, if you get the golden tee, you might get, $20,000! – I think they’re different colors. – They’re different colors, but yeah. – So the golden one, save that, but one of the prizes is? – A Mythical mystery box. – Mhmm. Another prize is? – A virtual taste test with us. – That would be fun. – And then, – The grand prize? – $20,000 in honor of season 20. – $20,000. It will be a check that will be signed, that you can cash. – The giveaway ends on the 17th of September, so, – Hurry on up, now. – Go to mythical.com. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited. – Wendy’s has a pretzel bun. I would not have called this a pretzel bun. I’m suspicious. – Because you don’t see like, pretzels sticking out of it? – I don’t see. I mean, I’m going to have to taste it, but I’m almost like, is this a pretzel bun? – But what is a pretzel bun? – Well, I’ve had it before, and I thought it was darker and lumpier. This is not a pretzel bun. – The only thing I see our little notes down here is, under Wendy’s, “we should order the pretzel bun.” So I don’t think that was a note for us. – Oh. That’s like a production note. – That slipped through the cracks and got to us. – All right. – Hey, y’all should order the pretzel bun. – All right. So we didn’t get the pretzel bun. We got the normal bun, and we can rate that. It’s better than the McDonald’s bun. – It is the pretzel bun. – Nuh uh. – Okay, it’s not the pretzel bun. – I’m trying to put it back together for a second. – Well, too late. – You ate where the cross would be. – There was no cross. – I promise, there was no cross. – Yeah. Just tell you something, I mean, I don’t know what a pretzel bun–I’ve had it before, but I can’t tell you what it tastes like. I guess pretzels. – I’ve had it. I hated it. I’m going to rate this higher than that, so this helps Wendy’s. It’s better than the McDonald’s bun. What did I give that? A three? – This is on par with the, – I’m gonna give this a four. – I’m giving this a five, I don’t know what I gave McDonald’s bun, but this is pretty, pretty close to that. – What do we have next? We have. Do you want to go with Carl’s, Let’s go with Burger King. – Burger King has a big bun. Hey, and that’s a good, I’m embarrassed to, I ordered it one time in the drive-through and I was embarrassed to say the name of it, the Ch’King. Cause it just sounded like, man, y’all shouldn’t have named it this because it makes me embarrassed to order it. – Yeah. I would never do that. – So, actually I didn’t say it. I said, “give me a number,” whatever the number was. – Now there’s a residual. – It was a good sandwich, though. – I think there’s like spicy residuals on this. But if you go to the middle, – We have to avoid the residuals. – That’s what I’m thinking. Man, I never avoid the residuals. – Yeah. – I rake in the residuals. – Mailbox money. – (Link laughs) That’s right. So if you eat from– – Tom Petty money (Rhett laughs evilly). – We swam in Tom Petty’s pool! – Again–he no longer lived there, though. Another potato bun. – But you know who did live there? – Mm! Stevie and Ben know who lived there. – A potato bun is nice. – The pool where we shot fat dipping. – [Stevie] Oh! – I gotta think – You remember that? – I gotta think. – You know who I’m talkin’ about? He was very clear to let us know that it was Tom Petty’s old house. – I gotta think that, a potato bun is better than a brioche bun. I’m sorry. I’m sitting here eating it. – Well, I think it’s more than just that, this is just a really good bun. – It’s a really good bun. – I might give it an eight. – Seven. – Wow. Burger King, comin’ in real hot. – Wow. Wow. Getting Owen Wilson in this piece. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I would love to see a documentary on his voice, the voice of Owen Wilson. – Like what would that entail? – It’s a, it’s a choice, right? It’s a choice. Where’s he from, have we talked about, – Is your voice a choice? I mean, like. – What are you saying? – I’m saying I don’t – My voice is not like, I’m not saying – I think anybody – There should be a documentary about Owen Wilson’s nose. I’m saying his voice. – Do you think Matthew McConaughey’s voice is a choice? – Absolutely. Yeah, but don’t you think it’s a confluence of where he comes from and the type of person he is? Like, I think that if Matthew McConaughey is recording a voice memo into a microphone that he has in a truck, cause he does do this. Does he speak differently? No. He’s not putting on a show. That’s just who he is. Owen Wilson is doing this. Owen Wilson is doing the same thing, – But Luke doesn’t. His own freaking brother sounds totally different. – Because he’s a different person, man. – Now my voice is a choice. I’ll give you that. Like I’m choosing right now. – Choosing to do what? – To inflect, enunciate, emote. – Okay, speak without choosing and what would happen? Speak completely naturally. No one’s listening. Speak without choosing anything. Just open your mouth and make noise. Don’t even think about English. – (robotically chanting) – Okay. That seems like a choice. You kind of did like a little chant. – You put me in a tough position. I think you got to relax your face a little bit. This is me speaking without choice. – You’re, it’s like you’re in, you’re under anesthesia, general anesthesia. – This is me speaking without choice. – He’s not all the way under, give him another shot. – This is me speaking without choice. – Jack in the Box, their spicy chicken sandwich comes with a buttery bakery bun. – This is me speaking with no intention. Their regular fried chicken patties, – It’s a little lower – Chicken Patty sandwich. – I think my natural non-intentional voice is a little bit lower. – It comes with a regular bun. – The opposite Chris, who we went to school with, who, his voice got lower after he graduated. – That’s a choice, yeah. – Tried to talk like this his senior year – and he just kept doing this, and I saw him like 10 years after we graduated from high school and he was still talking like this. And I was like, “dude, you’re making a choice to talk that way.” – This is, this is, this is. – [Stevie] Wait, one day, he just changed his voice? – Yeah, I mean, it was maybe over the course of a week, but it fell, it hit real hard. – Yeah. – It was like a second puberty. His voice changed before we knew him, like before he got to high school. And then at the end of high school, his voice changed again. – This one is – He got a job at Footlocker. – [Stevie] Ah. – That’ll do it to you. – [Stevie] Yeah. – He wanted to get the respect from the people that he was, like, putting their shoes on. (background chatter) I don’t think it was Lady Foot Locker. – You know what? I got to find out if it was a Lady Foot Locker. – Hey lady, I’m going to get a lock on that foot. This is not good. I’m trying to figure out. – What size can I get you? – Has it been sitting out? – Would you like our special socks that you can put on? – [Stevie] Go all the way down? – Yeah, of course Chris couldn’t go all the way down. – No, he was talking all the way down. – He was, “I can’t go all the way down.” – I love the guy, though. – It hurts. It hurts to hear him. – He’s a good guy. I mean, everybody makes choices. This is a bad bun. The choice that – I think it’s old and I’m trying to factor that in. – This is a two. – Not hold it against it. – Well they’re all, they all got the same – “They’re all,” see, you’re making a choice. (nasal voice) “They’re all.” – Maybe that’s my natural voice. – Two. I’m giving it a two. And finally we have Carl’s Jr. – (nasally) This is me speaking without intention. – I think what happened. – This is what my voice would be like if I did not think about the people around me and how I was perceived. – If I don’t speak – If I do a voice memo to myself at home alone, this is how I speak. – My voice is kind of a smoky whisper. – This is me speaking without intention. – A potato bun, they also have a sandwich on waffle buns, – What’s a waffle bun? – We don’t have it here. It’s, I don’t know. We don’t have it. Oh my goodness. – Is it hard to pull apart? – It’s, it’s jerky, it’s like. – Oh my gosh. – Were these are purchased at the same time? – This one was purchased four days before the other ones. Still tastes good, though. That’s a testimony to this thing, once you bite into it. – Really? – Still kind of works. – I don’t think it’s good. – Four. – Two. – So where does that, where does that put us? – I think that put Burger King number one. – [Stevie] Yeah and Popeye’s number two. – Okay, give us the results here. So Burger King was number one, at, with what, how many points? – [Stevie] With 15. – Wow. – All right. And then. – [Stevie] And Popeye’s at number two with 13. – Oh. – [Stevie] And then – Round it out with top three. – [Stevie] KFC at number three with 11. – Okay. There you have it. – Now you know. – And maybe I should do it this way. Congratulations, Burger King buns. – I wonder how this voice would work at Lady Foot Locker. (crew laughs) – What’s your, you have any, what are you going for, a basketball shoe? – You look like you got a really – Hi-top, low-top, you look like you’ve got very – Wide feet – nice ankles that might need to be protected. So maybe we should lay you up in a knee-high converse. – Don’t push a knee-high anything on a lady. That’s their choice. – Yeah, I’m coming on too strong, I’ll probably get fired. – [Stevie] You look like you have wide ankles, so let’s cover up all the way to your knees. – No, I didn’t say wide. I said, I meant to say like delicate, nice ankles. – I said wide. I said, wide feet. You look like you have cankles, so we really need to, we really need to cover those up, – Lace you up to the knee – The biggest high tops we can find. (outro music plays) – I mean, that’s a delicate way to say it. – Yeah, you get one day at Lady Foot Locker, you say things like that. – Don’t cry about it. – I’m very sad. – [Link] Enter the 2021 Golden Tee of Mythicality giveaway by September 17th, for your chance to win one of three extraordinary prizes, including $20,000.
