Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” What sandwiches are most popular in which United States? Let’s discover that together. States from the U.S. We understood, but first, let’s donate $1,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our favorite research hospital. St. Jude works to advance cures and means of prevention from pediatric, catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. And the great thing about St. Jude is the families of the children who are being treated don’t ever have to pay a bill. We love what they’re doing, stjude.org. Join us in giving. You know it’s going to a good cause. It is. Feel like we need to apologize Howlin’ Ray’s again. I just feel like I’m gonna have to be doing that until my dying days because I’ve had Howlin’ Ray’s, and said definitively it was the best hot chicken sandwich I’d ever had, and then I had it in a row of four sandwiches and I said, I can make a better sandwich. Now my sandwich is really, like, it is, if I do say so myself, it is really, really good. I’ve impressed dignitaries, is that a word? But you haven’t. I’ve impressed foreign diplomats. Those are two words, but you haven’t. Well, I plan to do that. So far, I’ve just impressed friends and family, but I do- I was impressed. Plan to impress diplomats at some point. I’d like to apologize to Ray for calling Ray, Ray, because his name is actually Francis? No, that’s your middle name. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. We know where to find you. Apologize again. I’m sorry for calling you Francis. That’s Ben’s middle name. I have a feeling you’re gonna be apologizing to some states that we’re gonna be talking about in this More, because the object of this game- We’re not gonna apologize to South Carolina, I’ll tell you that. That’s right. Okay. Not for a second. I’m gonna start by giving you a state, and then you’re gonna have to guess what the most popular sandwich is in that state. Then we’re gonna reverse it later on. But for now, all you need to know is I’m gonna give you a state, what’s the most popular sandwich. So we’re gonna start with Arkansas. Arkansas. Well, this is gonna be, we’re talking porks, because of the Razorbacks. Did you say forks? Porks. Wild boar sandwich? Porks. They like the porks down there. I think it’s a pork loin sandwich. So this is just a sandwich with a sliced pork loin on it. I feel as if, I feel so strong about this answer that I would, if we were into gambling, if we were a show that promoting gambling and dabbled in gambling, I would gamble on this answer. Since we don’t, I won’t. And you called it a pork sandwich. It’s a pork loin sandwich. Okay, it’s not a Cuban. Oh, no, it’s Arkansas, man. Well, I’m just clarifying. I mean, if you’re betting on this. I’m gonna say hot ham and cheese. I don’t know why. Okay, you’re in the right- Who, you’re in? Strata. His you’re in, or his you’re in. Link. You’re in the right, Rhett, you’re thinking a little too, you’re giving them a little too much here. Go low. Oh, oh, oh, I’m getting too specific. No, no, no. Cold ham and cheese. Yeah, exactly. Like go to- Like grilled cheese? You mean like more- Yeah. Everyman kind of sandwich. This is an everyman sandwich, yes. Turkey and rye. BLT. It’s an everyman sandwich that they have only in Arkansas, I think. It uses a particular lunch meat that most people- Oh! Bologna sandwich. Yeah, and there’s like a twist to it. Fried bologna sandwich. Fried bologna sandwich. Yep. Those are good, sucka, I’m telling you right now, I’ve had a few of them. That’s a grilled cheese with fried bologna in the middle of it, is how I would put it. You shouldn’t be eating that processed meat. It’s a level one carcinogen. What is black burnt thing on top? Is that a burnt olive? I believe- It does look like it was added. There’s also like a white. That, my friend, is a black olive that has scurried over from the pasta salad. It’s the white thing that’s scurried. Yeah, with a little pasta. It’s a piece of pasta that grabbed onto it- Oh. The olive said, I’m going on the sandwich, and the pasta said, me too! That’s what happened. I could tell the whole story, but I won’t. So you’re telling me they were like, we’re gonna take a photo of this sandwich, but we’re gonna- It’s a user photo, obviously. Bill Clinton took that. Bits are gonna come over there. I’ll put an olive on top of this part that’s close up. Connecticut. Connecticut. Now that is. We drove through Connecticut- What do they like up there in the Nor’east? I saw a lot of trees and a couple of gas stations and before I knew it, I was at MIT. I believe they might like a grilled cheese, ’cause they like to dip the grilled cheese into tomato soup during the winter months, and it’s always winter in Connecticut. They do not have summer, and they’ve never seen, they’ve actually never seen a clear shot of the sun. Did you know that? It’s always obstructed by- I had a pen pal, who was a Connectican, and brought- Francis. Yeah, Francis was his name, brought him down- Johnny Francis. Buies Creek. I didn’t introduce him to you because I thought your accent was too strong and it would scare him, and I remember, we took him outside one day, and he saw the clear shot of the sun, and he just dropped dead right there. Good Lord, what is that? It may have been unrelated. That’s sad. Yeah. I mean, in a world of sandwiches, what do they have in Connecticut? Yeah. Hot ham and cheese. You’re going up the chain for Connecticut. From Arkansas to Connecticut. Fancy. You know? BLT. They like a tuna salad? Okay, you’re in the right ocean. Chicken. Well, no. They like a shrimp sandwich from there? Shrimp Po’ Boy. No, they wouldn’t do that. Okay, the treatment to the seafood is now correct, it’s just the specific seafood. A salad, you mean? No, no. Fried flounder. A Po’ Boy? Po’ Boy type, yeah. Oyster Po’ Boy, clam Po’ Boy. Yeah, yeah. A clam Po’ Boy. Fried clam roll. Ooh. That makes sense. Connecticut. That looks pretty good. That’s cool. I could eat a clam strip. I had a soft- Give me some clam strips. You know what? It turns out. Lightly breaded clam strips. I had to take care of Barbara for the day, I had to take her out of the house because Jessie was having something at the house, and Barbara’s crazy when there’s a lot of people, and she wants the attention, she wants everyone’s food, so I had to take her out, so Shepherd and I decided that we were gonna take her to like a dog-friendly place, but we kinda didn’t wanna go on like a hike. You look up dog-friendly places to go in LA, one of the places that comes up, wouldn’t you, the Grove. Haven’t been to the Grove- Oh, you just took Barbara to an outdoor mall? In two and a half years. In Beverly Hills? Yes, I did. It is dog-friendly, there’s dogs everywhere, she made so many friends, she got sniffed in so many different ways. We went to- Can you go in the shops with the dog? No. We just kinda walked around the farmer’s market, man. Oh. That’s what, you forgot about that. Yes. It’s all outdoors. And Shepherd and I and Barbara- It’s like a bunch of little, what would you call ’em? Booth restaurants? Booths, it’s kinda like a fair. It’s like a farmer’s market that’s permanent, and it’s got a roof in certain places. But it’s not fruits and vegetables. It’s- Everything. It’s like a fair food, kinda. Well, but there’s like coffee and donuts, and there’s a gumbo place that served soft shell crab- Sandwiches. Po’ Boys. And Shep, and I was like, Shepherd, let’s do a food tour. We need to kill a few hours. This is a good idea. Let’s do a food tour, which means, we go to a place, we get something, and we split it. Just a little something. Get something a little- Split it. And we go do something else, and we get something a little else. And you compare it. Food tour, self-curated. That’s cool. First place we went, the gumbo place, I don’t remember the name, but it’s a big place. I think you’d be a good food tourist. Yeah. I mean, no, I mean- Tour guide. Guide, that’s what it is. Yeah, I could talk very loudly without seeming like I’m talking loudly. Hold that flag. If you’re here for the Grove. Hold it this way. Yeah. If you’re here for the Grove food tour, I’m your guide. Eat a little. First, split it. Nah. What you wanna make sure is you don’t eat too much in any one location, okay? Yes, dogs are welcome. We love the pooches. He’d be good at that, right? See? Yes. I think things are going well. Pay no mind to the spillage. It’s definitely a fire hazard. First stop is gonna be right up here at the gumbo place. I’m gonna keep cleaning, you just gotta, just pay attention, and so we went there, and we went to the gumbo place, and don’t worry, paper towels, it may seem- Get it off of the electronics. It may seem like this is wasteful, but you know what? Trees grow back. So, first stop is the gumbo place, been here since 1943. It’s actually the first thing, actually, this restaurant was the first thing here. It was in the parking lot and the rest of this was built around it. Yes, your dog is fine, ma’am. The dogs are okay. We’ve established that. Get here on time next time. Anyway, Shepherd and I had a soft-shell crab Po’ Boy that he requested. I went up and I asked the woman who was working the cash register. I said- The Po’ Boyer. I said, how’s the soft-shell crab sandwich? And she said, are you Rhett? And she’s a big fan of the show. That was not my question. She proceeded to answer the question with, I’ve never had it because I’m afraid to look at it. And then she- But she worked there? She proceeded to get me the oyster Po’ Boy. I think she just entered it in wrong, ’cause I went up there to the counter, and there was an older man, not older, probably my age, older than her, and he said, “What did you order?” And I said, I ordered the soft-shell crab Po’ Boy. He said, “My daughter’s a big fan, “and I think she got confused when you gave the order, “but I will get you, she put in the oyster sandwich.” We eventually got- It’s hilarious that- The soft-shell crab Po’ Boy. I’ve never had it because I’m afraid to look at it. I feel you, girl. It’s very good. I highly recommend it. I’ll tell you the other- Do you have to bite through the shell? That’s the thing that I’ve never. It’s soft. Like, but, is it still a shell? Is it like biting through skin? The only time you do the soft shell is after the crab has, what is called, moted? Molted? Molted. They’ve gotten rid of their shell, and they’re soft, and then you throw them right in the frying pan. At their most vulnerable moment. What is it, but how much of it is meat? Are you eating guts, crab guts? All full crab, every part of the crab, legs, eyes, guts, everything. It’s all fried, and you just go- No, Rhett. Right through it. No, no. It’s great. Wait, if you look at what you’ve bitten into, do you see innards of a crab? No, it’s just crab, man. It’s just all like soft crab. I love crab legs meat. Okay, if I were to give you a soft-shell crab Po’ Boy and just stuff it in your mouth and you were to take a bite, and you never looked at it, you’d like it. But would it taste like crab meat? Yes! I just don’t know how much meat’s in the middle part. It’s not meat in the middle part. It’s guts and nasty in the middle part. No, no. Idaho. Idaho. This is just a potato skin, not a sandwich. That is not a sandwich. It’s two potato skins turned upside down, and put on top of each other. That’s what they like. You think, all right- Trevor’s from Idaho. Well, what do they call it? What do they call it? They call it a potato sandwich. That doesn’t seem right. Trevor’s from Idaho. Um… I’m just thinking, hot ham and cheese. No, but it is a sandwich that you would like and it is a simple sandwich. PB&J. Yeah. Trevor- Specifically, peanut butter and huckleberry jam. Huckleberry jam. Huckleberry jelly. Look at that. Trevor, he- Idaho. He got a Jeep, he bought a Jeep from his own father. I saw that Jeep. It’s got an Idaho plate on it. Oh, really? So if you see a Jeep in LA with an Idaho plate, Trevor! Just give him one of those. Trevor! Okay, we’re gonna switch things around now. I’m gonna give you the sandwich. You give me the state. Pimento- Buh, buh. Pennsylvania. Pimento cheese sandwich. Georgia. South Carolina. It’s Georgia. Yeah. I’m from Georgia. My mama loves a pimento cheese sandwich. We had them growing up, just like that, on white bread. Whoo! So did we, though. Golly, it’s so good. You ain’t got to go to Georgia to get one of those. You can go and come to my house. Yeah, they’re super popular in North Carolina, as well. Do you know what’s in pimento cheese besides pimento? Um. Eggs? Not usually. There’s some eggs in it when I eat it. Egg shards. You’re eating a weird one. It’s very simple. Cheese. It’s cheddar cheese mixed with cream cheese. It’s cheese on cheese, and then pimento. Pimentos. Maybe some egg shards if you get- Frisky. Feeling frisky, yeah. All right, give us another one. I love a pimento cheese sandwich. This is interesting. A loose meat sandwich. Loose meat? Loose meat, which I guess is also known as a tavern sandwich. A loose meat sandwich. It’s a mixture of unseasoned ground beef and sauteed onions. Pennsylvania. Colorado. Nope. Well, who’s closer? Oh God. What did you say? Loose meat. You don’t know where the state is? It’s kinda, no, it’s- Dakota. Closer to, it’s kinda in between the two, actually. Indiana. Michigan. You’re all over it, you’re all over it. Ohio. Illinois. What, sorry? Ohio. Illinois. Iowa. You’re still all over it. Illin-Ohio. Haven’t named it. Wisconsin. Oh, did I miss it? I missed it. Iowa. Iowa, yeah. Iowa. Ooh, that looks good. That looks so good. With that melted cheese hanging out. And that’s just loose meat? It looks like ground beef. It is. Perhaps, in a, so it’s kinda like a manwich but without the sauce, plus the cheese. Or a womanwich. Now what they have done with the food styling? It this a broken, small chip in the foreground? Yeah, this looks like a styled photo, but I mean. I think you’re taking issue with the food styling choices. It’s rugged. It’s rugged. They smooshed the sandwich down. We’re already dealing with loose meat, Stevie. Anything goes. Loose meat. Loose meat sinks ships. Speaking of loose meat, we have a podcast. Our meat’s hanging out everywhere on that thing. It’s called “Ear Biscuits,” and we don’t just do the podcast. We also turn it into a YouTube channel, because it turns out, you can do that now. You can have a podcast that has a video component. If you wanna watch us do our podcast, you can do that on YouTube. If you wanna listen to that, you can do that wherever podcasts are done. Yeah. By you. I think it’s special. I think it’s a special project. It is so special.
