GMMore 2150: Match The Secret Menu Item To The Restaurant (Game)

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are gonna explore the secret menu items that you can order next time you go through the drive-thru. But first, we’re gonna give a $30 mythical.com gift card to Tamara or Tam-a-ra Leite or Light. #Merchicality. There’s a couple of different ways to go there. Show your merch, get more merch. That’s how this works. I’m gonna go with Tamara. Tamara. Congratulations, Tamara. I hope I’m not wrong, but you know what? You’re right regardless because you get that $30. Yeah. $30 should smooth over a mispronunciation, right? Yeah, at least. It’s like, slide them a little three spot. You know what I’m saying? A three spot? Yeah. A $30 bill? Yeah. Secret menu items. Yeah! Have you personally employed your knowledge of this in real life? Yeah, I don’t wanna. Definitely at In-N-Out. I would say only at In-N-Out. They have an encouragement of secret menu item culture there, I feel like. Yeah. Yeah. It feels more appropriate. Because the menu is so limited, you wanna branch out a little bit. My fear is that secret menus are so secret that the majority of the employees don’t know what you’re talking about. I would be too- You don’t wanna get into that socially awkward situation. Exactly. I relate to that. And some of these names, because I’m gonna tell you about these items and the names and then especially this first one, I would not order this based on name alone. And then you’re gonna tell me where you think this is a secret menu item. So these are all real secret menu items. Okay. So the first one is Dr. Pepper orgasm. This mind blowing secret drink is a highly refreshing blend of Dr. Pepper, lemonade, and Powerade, only available when the Dr. Pepper orgasm is requested. Yeah. I’m not gonna say that in a drive-thru. This feels like no one in this place is gonna know about that, too. This is definitely the situation that you were getting into. Not only have you asked for something that they’re not gonna recognize, but it sounds like you’ve asked for an orgasm. Yeah. An orgasm is not something that you just kind of want it to happen. You want it, but you don’t wanna ask for it. Okay, so where can you- But if you get it, you’re not gonna complain. Where can you envision other people bold enough to order the secret menu item ordering it? Well, it just seems like if you have the fountain drink thing, you can make it, but you wouldn’t have to order it at all. Yeah. You’re onto something there. So lemonade and Powerade. Any place that has lemonade, Powerade, and Dr. Pepper. Oh no, I thought you were getting at the fact that it would be a place that you couldn’t go to the fountain yourself. Oh yeah. Okay. I got you. So you weren’t onto something. Which place doesn’t have a fountain? I was gonna say Taco Bell, just because of the time that you’re usually at Taco Bell. But they have a fountain. I can’t think of a fast food place that doesn’t have a fountain. That’s what you’re saying? Yeah and maybe I haven’t been to this fast food place in so long because they’re not really around here and they’re known for a drive up and not a drive-thru situation. Oh, this is a Sonic situation? Cook Out? Yeah. Sonic. Oh. Do we have an image of this one? Wow. Oh. Yeah, there it is. Man, that’s sexy. It’s like, oh, that’s embarrassing. Oh. My face is turning red. Look at the Sonic ice though. Sonic ice. Sonic ice. Choice. Choice. Yeah. Orgasmic ice. Yeah. All right. Next one. Barnyard burger. It’s a meat feast that contains a beef patty, a spicy chicken filet, and bacon. Okay. Spicy chicken filet. You could make this at a number of places. You could make it at McDonald’s or you could make it at Wendy’s. I think it’s Wendy’s. No, I think it’s McDonald’s. It’s Wendy’s. This is what it looks like. Wow. These are all like user generated because they’re secret. You gotta order it and take the picture yourself. So the burger’s on top with the bacon on top of the cheese on top of the spicy chicken. I don’t like that burger flopping over on top of my bacon like that. I think I’d have to say, what is it called again? Barnyard burger. I’m want a barnyard burger with the burger on the bottom, a burger bottom barnyard burger. Do you think they would respond to that? This one feels like maybe a little bit more… It’s got a cow. It’s got a pig. It’s got a chicken. Like, maybe they understand this one. It’s definitely not asking for an orgasm. This one makes me think too much. I really want to try this, but I’m pretty much convinced I wouldn’t like it, but I do want to try it. Oh, I’d love it. Okay, this one, you might be more familiar with. The Flying Dutchman. Yeah. This is In-N-Out. So yeah. So in traditional mythology, the Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that can never make it to port, doomed to sail the ocean forever. In urban mythology, it’s simpler. Two slices of cheese between two burger patties and- That’s it. Yeah. No, they added onions to this one, but we’ve had this on the show. I’ll never forget it, especially because there’s two slices of cheese there in the middle. It’s like, this is a nice little experience. It’s like a double double. But you know that the founder of In-N-Out is Dutch. Harry Snyder. Oh, really? So that’s the Flying Dutchman name origin. That makes my mouth water. Do you think this is what he eats on a regular basis? It’s said that he loves snacking on Flying Dutchman. That’s why it’s on the secret menu. I didn’t remember that there are two slices. I mean, it’s low carb. It’s low carb. That’s a looking thing, man. It’s for those doing keto. I’d like to dip it in the sauce. You can ask for- Animal style? The In-N-Out sauce. Yeah. I’d like to take it and put it between two pieces of bread And then dip it- No, man. No. That’s that’s when it really starts making sense to me. The magic of it is losing the bread. You had it. You didn’t love it? Oh, of course I loved it, but I want the bread just for the messiness and the extra calories. Peanut butter and bacon burger. Peanut butter and bacon burger. Yeah, it’s a cheese burger with peanut sauce and bacon. Who has peanut sauce? I think that’s just one of the real options at Red Robin. Yeah because who has peanut sauce laying around for something else that you can hack onto a burger? Somebody who serves a sundae. A peanut sauce sundae, though? Dairy Queen. No. Hardee’s. Carl Jr. No. Who else serves sundae? McDonald’s. I think this is Sonic, too. Your choices are In-N-Out, Steak and Shake, Shake Shack. Steak and Shake. I would think that too, but it’s Shake Shack. What is the peanut sauce used for at Shake Shack? Maybe a dressing on something else. Like a salad that they serve or something. I don’t know. It looks less like a sundae thing. Peanut sauce is too overpowering. Peanut butter on a burger just doesn’t work. I mean, it doesn’t. I’ve been there. I’ve done that, but not that. Everybody’s tried it once. And what’s the name for it? Peanut butter and bacon burger. Not even a good name. It’s like, you gotta have a name. They have a peanut butter milkshake, so I guess that’s where the peanut butter’s coming from. Oh, that they use that sauce to make the peanut butter milkshake? Good gosh. Yeah, it’s like a peanut butter syrup or it’s more like a liquified peanut butter. Okay. Churro shake. Speaking of shakes. This is- Shake Shack. No. Churro shake. They have churros at- Sonic. Sonic does a lot of newfangled shakes. They don’t do any sort of ice cream at Taco Bell. Sonic is the one who had a Nutter Butter shake for a while. This is a hack, remember? So it’s a menu that has churros on it that you can put in a shake. Taco Zone. Del Taco. You’re referring to the truck in Echo Park? Taco Zone, yes. Favorite truck. No… Taco Bell has never had ice cream, right? I don’t think so. [Stevie] I’m not that familiar with the history of Taco Bell. Don’t. So it’s not Del Taco? No. You know what? This is when you take the churros from the- Jack in the Box? The burrito place. Yes, Jack in the Box. Oh, Jack in the Box. Jack in the Box is like, it has so many- Things. Yeah. It’s so broad. So they shove a churro into a vanilla shake. That seems good. Oh, that’s good. But it also doesn’t seem like a hack. It just seems like I’d like a shake, a vanilla shake, and I’d like an order of the churros and I’ll do the dirty work at my own place. Are you hungry for secrets? Yes. Well, listen to our podcast. We reveal all of ourselves to each other with you listening in. It’s two lifelong friends talking about life for a long time. Check out Ear Biscuits, if you haven’t. If you’re this deep into Mythicality on Good Mythical More and you haven’t listened to our podcast, I just find that strange. It’s a little strange, to be honest with you. I just think, go for it. It’s a little strange. It feels like maybe it’s your problem at this point. It’s a barrier within you and your soul. Right, don’t be afraid of podcasts because we’re there. We’ll we’ll be there for you. Because this week, we were talking all about, actually on air, we’re both having Dr. Pepper orgasms. Yeah, so, you can hear it. You can really hear it come through in the audio. It’s basically just like a really pleasurable burp. Yeah. Right. Pickle-Os, battered and deep fried pickles. This is literally doing something- They gotta really go outta their way to- Yeah, this seems like a little hidden corner. Like when somebody orders pickles at this place, the manager’s like, oh, God. McDonald’s. Pickle-Os. There’s no way they would- You think McDonald’s would? They’re not gonna batter and fry pickles at McDonald’s. I just wanted to say it. It’s gotta be a place where like, anything goes. Outback. Outback, I guess. Who’s gonna accept a request to batter and fry pickles? You know? Is this a drive-thru establishment? It is a fast food establishment. Long John Silver’s. I can’t think of anybody who would. Managers find out this is happening under their nose, heads are gonna roll. For some reason, so the first time I have ever had fried pickles, it was in one of those diners that tries to look like they’re from the 50s, but they’re not actually. And so that time period, in my mind, has linkage with this fast food place. Hard Rock Cafe. Rock-Ola Cafe. Oh, Rock-Ola. Did you ever, the Rock-Ola Cafe? Did I what? Did they had those in? Yeah, I remember that. Yeah! Yeah! Shoney Diner? Shoney’s is still, when I was back home, I passed by a Shoney’s But you didn’t go in? No. Denny’s. You could’ve had Shoney’s orgasm. What is it? What could it be? Imagine going to Shoney’s. I’d like the hot fudge orgasm, please. Sir, we’re calling the police. Well, those 24-7, 24 hours a day establishments, you never know what can happen in a corner booth. Shoney’s is 24-7? Waffle House. You could do deep fried pickles at Waffle House. Oh, that be good. I miss Waffle House. You could really get into a conversation with the people at Waffle House. You can talk them into anything at three in the morning. They will do anything at Waffle House. They put some pancake batter, some waffle batter on the pickles, and then fry them for me, daddy, and they’re back there doing that for you. They’ll do it. They’re up there doing it because you can see them. Yeah. Right. Right over there. Yeah. Feed the jukebox. Because they can’t say, “We can’t do that,” because you can be like, “No, no, I can see you could do that.” Don’t make me come back there. It would just be walking. Right. I don’t even have a guess for this. Do you want options? Yes. Popeye’s, Sonic, Wendy’s. Oh, Popeye’s. No. Sonic. Yeah. Sonic. Sonic is desperate. They’re trying to please. Whoa! And they look good. You see what I mean about the sock hop, the 50s tie in? These have been on the menu at a certain point, so I think it’s like, they’re ready to do it. It’s not like they’ve never done it and you’re asking. We could do it. I mean, you know how to. You’ve all been trained. We used to do it. Yeah, they’re like back in the freezer, basically, in that one bag. That one little bag, yeah. Very old pickle bag. Okay. This last one is a little bit different. I’ll share why afterwards. It’s the Surf and Turf burger. Cheeseburger with fried fish. Okay, McDonald’s. It’s got a McFish on it. That would be good, man. Yeah, it is McDonald. Cheeseburger with a Filet-o-Fish on it. But do you know why it’s a little bit different than the rest? Because they’re kind of doing this campaign right now about bringing their secret menu out into the open. I think I did see it. Yeah, so this is what looks like. But then they’re like, Joe Smith invented this. Oh, you do it on. That’s not a Big Mac. And you can’t order it. They tell you how to order the components of it to make it yourself. Oh, you gotta make it yourself? Which is smart marketing because it’s like- I’ll take a Quarter Pounder. I’m letting you in on it. And a McFish and is it two Quarter Pounders? It looks like it. Or a double Quarter Pounder. It’s actually a Big Mac middle. You gotta order, that’s a Big Mac. No, I think it’s a Quarter Pounder bottom because it’s the same as the very bottom. No, but the two burgers are the same size. It’s just zoomed in. You can get a double Quarter Pounder. No, but the middle bread is from a Big Mac. This is a mystery. I mean, how do you order it? They say to tell you how to order it. Three sizes of cheese. Big Macs only got one slice of cheese. Why does that look like a quarter? Is it a Quarter Pounder? Well, I think you have to ask for cheese on your fish sandwich, which I recommend. Yeah. And it goes on the bottom. So I think that middle bun is a bottom bun. It’s a double Quarter Pounder with cheese and a fish sandwich with cheese would make that. Dang. I could sign up for that. Really? Why do you have to make it yourself, though? Why not? It’s not a secret menu item. Well, I guess I don’t know. I just never. To pair the bite of ground beef with the fish. No. Surf and turf. Steak and lobster. Yeah. No, I get it. I get what it is. Well, surf and turf is shrimp and steak. No, it can be lobster. It’s usually lobster and steak. I’ve never ordered that. When you ordered that, do you eat the lobster and the steak and the same bite? No, I don’t. It’s a steak and a tail of lobster. Right. You never eaten them in the same bite? No. Exactly. But I never thought of this. And surf and turf is never usually a steak and a Filet-o-Fish. Right. Yeah. Well, yeah. This is the, you know. It’s the fast food version. It’s a good picture. I love a Filet-o-Fish, though. It’s so gross, but it is so good. Those buns. I’ve never understood it. Well, you have to order. I think I’ve talked about this before. You have to order the slice of cheese because then it’s a fresh one. They have to make it fresh because it doesn’t usually come with a slice of cheese. You gotta get that fresh fish. I thought, we’ve had this conversation, that it did have a cheese on it. No. No. Yeah. Yeah, Morgan said it is a half slice of cheese, which that is a half slice in the middle there. Whereas the top of the bottom are full slices. That’s the new LA thing is not gourmet-ifying, but hipster-fying the fish filet. Have you seen this? Have I talked about this, as well? No, with what? It’s just that different restaurants have their version of the fish filet. Oh, oh. That is a thing that’s happening, is that places are. And there’s places serving a Big Mac. They’re trying to anticipate that chicken sandwiches, that they’re past trend. Yeah. So now it’s like, they’re anticipating that it’s the fish filet. It ain’t gonna happen. Well, hot fish is good. Yeah. I had hot fish at Bolton’s Hot Chicken and Fish in Nashville. Oh, that’s the name of a place? If it was spicy, that would help. If it’s a spicy McFish, I think I’m on it. Like Nashville Fish? Nashville Hot Fish. Fish. So the same treatment, but it’s fish and it’s so good. I’m into that. Yeah.
