Welcome to “Good Mythical More” ♪ Depending on where you are. ♪ ♪ If you go to the Trader Joe’s ♪ ♪ Then you have a preference ♪ ♪ For what you want to bring home. ♪ But first. So by state, can we guess what’s the most popular Trader Joe’s item? I believe we can. Let’s tell a 10 word story. Bill. Folds. Wallets. And. Coin. -age. I’m doing half words. Billfolds is a word. Coinage is a word. Okay. Bill folds. Billfolds. Wallets and coinage. Comprise. Well, no, you said age. Oh. You said age. And coinage. But that’s two words ’cause you said it. Coin age. That’s one word. But it counts as two because there’s two of us. No, it doesn’t. It counts as one so it’s back to me? And so does bill folds. Oh my gosh. Yeah. No, Bill folds. Bill’s a guy. No, I changed it. Bill folds. Billfolds. Bill folds wallets. No. Billfolds. Bill folds wallets. ‘Cause I said wallets. You can’t go back on what I said. Well, I thought it was a list. [Both] Bill, folds, wallets. And coinage. It’s one of those like buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo. It’s supposed to make you think. All right, so- So coin age. So it is two words. Bill, Bill folds coins. ‘Cause it goes two ways. Coins, coin age. Bill folds wallets And coin age. Coinage. Yep. Because. Bill folds. A billfold is another word for a wallet. Did you know that? Are, Just say wallets, say wallets. Just say wallets. Wallets. Wallets, yeah there you go. Oh, is that it? Yeah, yeah. Bill folds wallets and coinage because billfolds are wallets. Yep, and that was a nine word story. Bill folds. Bill, no, Bill folds wallets and coin age because- One, two, three, four, five- Bill folds are wallets. Six, seven, eight, nine. 10. Coinage is a word. But coin age is two words. Stevie, you still awake? Yeah. I was trying to figure We’re getting worked up for Good Mythical Evening. That one out.

Like, you could be the one who watches everything just go completely sideways for us, and we never recover. Like, you could see that. Sometimes when you say things, they can’t be unsaid. Goodmythicalevening.com. Be the first. I’m getting nervous. And the last. I need some like Tums or something. Something to just settle my stomach that whole night. You gonna snort Tums? Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Stevie’s gonna snort Tums. Stevie’s gonna snort Tums every seven minutes. I, you know, when Trader Joe’s was like a new thing, I had a little love affair with Trader Joe’s. Yeah. And then- Back in North Carolina? Yeah, and then When it came to us. The parking lot situation in Los Angeles, I fell outta love. It ruined it for you. Very quickly. And then recently, we started going out again. A little dabble-diya. You know what I’m saying? Yep. So a lot of these items I’m not completely familiar with. But the first one I think we all know. Everything but the Bagel Seasoning. In what state is Everything but the Bagel Seasoning the most popular? I don’t think it’s a place where bagels are actually popular. It’s a place where this proxy for bagels is popular. So like, it wouldn’t be New York, but it would be like Pennsylvania because it’s bordering it. What was I, I was eating something, and I put Everything but the Bagel Seasoning on it. Was this on the show or in life? In real life. I think it was- Bless you. Bless you. Mac and cheese. I think it was mac and cheese. Interesting. You have that at your household? Yeah, it was good. It wasn’t mac and cheese, what was it? Oh, you said that in a way that made me think that maybe it’s California. I know, I think it’s California, ’cause here I am putting it on everything. Oh no, I was just, I was inquiring if that was like something that was in Link’s household. Well, my blind guess is Pennsylvania. Assuming that’s wrong, you might wanna give us choices, unless it’s California. What’s your guess Link? California. Okay, no. Rhode Island, New York, or Arizona. Rhode Island. Rhode Island. I’m gonna say Arizona. It’s Arizona! Far away from bagel land. Oh, so you gotta get that far? Yep. Arizona. The bagels couldn’t make it, but the seasoning did. All the way to Arizona. Yes. Uh huh. Chocolate lava cakes. Now, I did not know, I did not know about this. Chocolate lava cakes? Yeah, I’m guessing it’s a frozen item situation? I don’t believe I’ve had it. Which state? Hawaii’s too obvious. ‘Cause of all the lava. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They wouldn’t do that. Who wants to just chow down on some lava cakes? I think it’s a cold place. Minnesota. Dakota. Minnesota feels right. No, it’s Oklahoma. Okay, those are our blind guesses. Stevie? Well, sorry, Minnesota, Hawaii, or Alaska? Hawaii! Come on. I said two out of the three. Yeah, so you gotta make a choice. So it must be Alaska ’cause- It must be Alaska. She would’ve said, “Oh, you’re right. Oh my gosh.” No, there’s actually, to be fair, there’s a fun fact associated with it. I was reading that fun fact while you were guessing. You weren’t listening to us. What, when I said Hawaii and Minnesota? So I’m saying Hawaii. Well, I’m gonna say- It can’t be Minnesota. I’m gonna say Alaska. Okay, here’s the fun fact. There are eight states that don’t have any Trader Joe’s locations, including Hawaii and Alaska. So the answer is Minnesota. Oh, so my blind guess was Minnesota! I’ll give it to you! Yeah that, Rhett’s mad because you should’ve… I said somewhere cold and said Minnesota. What are the chances, One in 50? Yeah, and the only person who knew the answer, 2%. Wasn’t listening. Yeah, right, she was reading fun facts! She was snorting Tums and reading fun facts. Yeah, you blew it Stevie. You blew it. That was Rhett’s moment. Isn’t that sad? Yeah, that you blew his moment. He’s upset with you. No Trader Joe’s in Hawaii. Yeah. It’s probably a good thing. Another, Makes sense. Another item, that I don’t know about, do you know about Unexpected Cheddar? Oh, yes I do. You do? Is that in your house? Yes! Unexpected Cheddar is- Is that the… It’s like the, I know what it is. Is it more? Can you bring up the- Is it sharper? What’s unexpected about it? It’s the best qualities of hard Italian cheeses like Parmesan with the best qualities of finely crafted American cheddar. Unexpected Cheddar is a really solid cheese. Christy, I mean, Christy’s a cheese aficionado. Christy loves this cheese. She knows all about it. Yep, tastes like an aged premium cheddar with hints of Parmesan. It’s not gonna be Wisconsin because Wisconsin’s not gonna go for Trader Joe’s cheese. They’re gonna go for- Where’d you get your jacket at? Um… Where’d you get your jacket? H&M. Unexpected Cheddar. I think, I think this is California. The most popular Trader Joe’s- Link! You’re right! It’s California! I didn’t need any of the choices. It’s really cool when you- I just got it. What are the chances? It’s really cool when you guess like that and then Stevie- What are the chances? And everyone claps. It feels good, right? I mean, I, what are the chances? 2%. You’re right. Well, actually, probably slightly higher than 2% considering that some states have been eliminated, assuming that we’re not gonna do a state twice. Well, you can’t have two most popular items. Right. So yeah. So it’s like, whatever, like one in 47. So my feat was a little less impressive than yours, but only by Alaska and Hawaii. A-ha-waska. Ha-wa. Have you ever been to one of those ceremonies? A Ha-waska? They are just wild. It’s just like you’re in Trader Joe’s parking lot- That’s when you put… That’s that certain time of the year when you can have one foot in Hawaii and one foot in Alaska. Yeah. It’s a Ha-waska ceremony. It’s just about, it has something to do with the earth’s rotation. Hawaii comes right by Alaska. Right. In it’s orbit. Yeah. Spanicopida, is how I say this word. And I don’t know if that’s wrong. I think you’re trying to say Stankonia. Amy has laughed at me. I call this- The Amazing Outcast album. I feel as if- I say it a different way, but now I can’t say it because you said it wrong. Spanicopida. Oh my God, the reveal on the text. What is the way to say it? Stankonia. No one’s saying anything else. Spanacongapinda. Spanacopida. You know what I’m talking about, Greek spinach and cheese pie. Spinacopitia! Spanacapita! Man, this is so good. I love this stuff. Spanacopatita. Spinacopita. Spinacopita. I’m gonna say Washington state. Greek spinach and cheese pie. Spinach cheese pie. Okay. It’s not Washington state. That was my blind guess. Do you have a blind guess? Spinach and cheese pie in Greek populations. I’m gonna go for Washington State. But a true Greek population is not going to… They’re gonna make their own, whatever, however you say it. They’re not gonna go to Trader Joe’s to get it. No, they like, they don’t… They think Joe did a really great job. Okay, there are three states in which this is the most popular. So you have three chances of guessing it correctly. I think I’ve had this. It’s excellent! Okay. Spanocopita. Spanicopta. Florida. No applause. New Mexico. So close, on the new. Old Mexico. New Dakota. New York. Well, she said it’s close to New Mexico and it’s not Arizona. She said close on the new. Yeah. Oh, Old York. New Jersey. New Jersey, that’s it. No. How many News are there? The new world. There’s another new. Oh my gosh, I feel- You said it was close to new. No, there’s another new. There’s New Mexico. There’s New Jersey. There’s New York. And there’s New- England. New… New Hawaii. New Orleans. That’s a good guess for a- Hold on. Neither one of us can think of the other state that has New in front of it. What’s wrong with us? Don’t tell us. Don’t tell us. New- We both recently had COVID. New, New Dakota. New, New- I’ve been forgetting lots of things. New, New Town, New Town. New- New… Man, what is it else that there’s New? New Idaho. New, New Colorado. New Finland. New, there’s no New Florida. New… Let me know when you need a hint. New Massachusetts. New Hampshire. There we go. I do not deserve clap, applause for that. I mean- New Carolina. This has been happening, y’all. I’m telling you, it’s a real thing. It’s . Hopefully, I get it all back someday. Okay, so the other two states are Rhode Island and Vermont. Oh, that wasn’t even the right answer? Oh, so they’re right all around each other. No, no. I said there are three. All of the above. I said you had a higher chance ’cause there’s three. Okay, I’m gonna give you the state, and then you’re gonna give me the Trader Joe’s item. This should go, well, I think. Oregon. The Paper Bags. Pirates Booty. Pirates Booty. Nope. Yeah, it is. I think these are all like- They sell it but it’s not Trader Joe’s brand. Trader Joe’s brand. Okay. You want some options? Trader Joe’s brand crappy cereal. All their cereal’s crappy. They do sell this like crunchy oat thing that I really like, like oat flakes. It’s not Trader Joe’s Brand. I think we’re gonna need choices here. Dark chocolate covered blueberries, vegan banana bread, or Omega Trek Mix. Yeah, that last one. Which is dried cranberry and roasted nuts. Those Oregonians, man, they’re hiking all over the place, gotta get to the top of that mountain. They gotta get their fatty Trek mix. At some point, I would’ve known where the mountain is, but again… You’re both going with the mix? Omega. Yep. It’s the vegan banana bread. Oh. Oh, vegan banana bread. What makes it vegan? No milk or eggs. It tells you that it’s vegan. Oh. No bacon either, huh? That was such a like pity laugh. Spanocopita. Florida. Okay. No choices. Spank my pita. At first. What’s the most popular Trader Joe’s item in Florida? Toothpicks, flavored toothpicks. Trader Joe’s bath salts. Man, I haven’t been to… What else do they… Make your own six pack of beer. They do that, right? They have the singles, the single beers. Do they? That’s cool. It’s a carb, it’s a carb. There is a carb element, yes. Yeah, it’s gotta be carby. There’s a cheese element. Not a cheese element, but a dairy element. Yep, there’s a milk. Okay. It’s a milky carb. So this is chocolate almond milk. You think almond milk is the number one product in Florida? You said it was milk and what, a bread element? It’s not chocolate milk? I said there was a carby element and a dairy element involved. Milk and bread, what’s that mean? Well, that would be like chocolate, maybe. It’s a pie. A cream pie. What kind of pie’s can I get from Trader Joe’s? I mean, I don’t know. This doesn’t really- It’s a cheesecake. It’s Trader Joe’s Cheesecake. Well, yeah, I guess this is a place in Florida, this type of- Oh, it’s a key lime. Yeah, yeah. It’s a key lime. It’s a key lime pie. Oh. Which, man, key lime pie is so good. I know you love a key lime pie. I had one, back when I was in North Carolina, my mother-in-law made a key lime pie, and I was just like, “Good Lord, it’s so good.” Speaking of… Key lime, as it turns out, you told me, it’s just a type of lime- From the Keys. From the Keys. From the Florida Keys, which is part of Florida. Did not know that. North Carolina. Oh, man. What’s the most popular thing in North Caro… Man, I mean, I do remember, when the Trader Joe’s first opened up there in Kerry. We would drive up there. We would drive a long ways to get to that Trader Joe’s. I mean, we’d pass million other grocery stores just to experience this thing. Yeah. And people were talking about the prices were so much cheaper. You know, and you thought it was all better for you, for some reason. Yeah. They did something. They cast a little spell- It wasn’t all better for you. On all of us. And then the flyer, like the Trader Joe’s flyer, we’d read that thing top to bottom. It was like the Farmer’s Almanac all over again. So what would, I mean… I’m trying to remember what it is we would get. What is the first thing that we would get there. All of the frozen doodad, knickknack stuff. Oh, mini tacos. What’s- Those little tacos. The pastry things. The pastry things, that’s the second. What’s the pastry things? They’re like round. They’re like round, they’re like this big. Oh, I know what you’re talking about. And they got something inside of ’em. And they got something inside of ’em. They’re like cheese bites. They’re like balls? No. No that’s not- Or they’re like danishes? No, it was pastry bites. Pastry bites. Feta cheese and caramelized onions. Yes! My wife, she would put those in an oven. You turn around, she’d have another batch in the oven. Those are just, those were the jam back then. Every party we went to, they had those. So it’s a sauce. Oh. Oh, it’s the mustard. It’s the Carolina Mustard Style barbecue sauce, which is incredible, by the way. Is that it? It is not. It’s another type of sauce? The Trader Joe’s South Carolina Style barbecue sauce is legit. It’s good, yeah. But it’s not that? Is it- It’s accurate. Dijon mustard, truffle flavored barbecue sauce, or sweet chili sauce? Oh, it’s sweet chili sauce. Truffle flavored barbecue sauce? It’s not truffle flavored barbecue sauce. We wouldn’t do that in North Carolina. We might do some Dijon. It might be. I didn’t know that existed, but that might be the thing. You know, it’s like… You know, our Carolinians, we always like a new barbecue sauce, but we’ll try. But I got into the sweet chili sauce in North Carolina. I remember that. Okay. All right. I got into a vat of it one time. I know, I’m sticking with truffle. Rhett! Ahh! You did it, man. I like this Stevie. She’s so focused. So quick, as soon as you get the right answer, she just yells out your name. It’s the week of Good Mythical Evening. Get your tickets now at goodmythicalevening.com to join us live this Thursday.
