GMMore 2455: Ranking The Best Work Uniforms

Welcome to Good Mythical More. It’s time for us to judge uniforms from restaurants, mostly of the fast food variety to see which one is the absolute best, head-to-head, tournament style. But first, let’s name your pet that you submitted, Haley. Love it. Let’s see Haley’s pet. Oh, it’s a smiling dog that doesn’t have a bottom of its face. Yeah. It’s the top half of a dog’s head and then a tongue. That’s a special grooming technique- Isn’t that so cute? called top half. That’s a cute dog. Oh my goodness. Look how big his eyes are! Is this a woman or a man’s name? Smurf. It is… No, I think it’s- Smurf. Come here. Smurf! I think it’s Priscilla. Shut up, Smurf! Priscilla. Priscilla. Priscilla the dog. What is it? Priscilla. Silver. See, I knew it was Silver. I knew it, Priscilla. Pris-silver. Smurf. You put Smurf and Priscilla together, what do you get? You get Silver. Silver. So, there’s one round in the main that I’m perplexed by. Yeah, let’s… I gotta, let’s… Look how long this McDonald’s bacon is. Is that it? Well- And what’s this one? So round two was where you had Wendy’s which you gave an eight and a nine to, and you really loved. And then Link, you guessed it was from Subway. Now are you a secret fan of Subway bacon and you think it’s really good? Here’s what I thought happened. I thought- Explain yourself that when you… that they ordered it a la carte and turns out I was right. And that they took the bacon and they put it in the grinder blaster. What is that thing called? The bri? The, the, the sub heater. The, the me The food warmer. The toaster. The toaster. You thought that the mythical crew made its crispier? No, I thought that Subway took the bacon and put it in the thing, which they do. Put it in toaster. In the toaster. And then it made it crispier. But this is it right here and that is not crispy. Now which one was the one that was so bad? The one that you hated for one and two was from KFC. Which is odd? What is KFC? I mean, how’d they screw up the bacon. I know they used to have- It’s not great bacon. They still have the double down. That’s what I remember it being on. It’s still bad. Good god. Bad bacon. But Starbucks looks the worst. The ultimate barbecue sandwich is what the bacon is on at KFC. There’s so much, so much fat on that. Starbucks was your second least favorite after KFC. Second least favorite. It tastes better now. What was round one? Starbucks. Burger King is- You didn’t mind Starbucks and you didn’t mind McDonald’s either. Oh, I got first round right. Yeah. That was the one you got, right? You thought I was gonna- It seemed… It seemed like you were good. You thought I was gonna be awesome. I stand by the choice that Burger King’s the best bacon. You’ve made a real discovery today. They do the bacon right. And who is this again? Wendy’s. Wendy’s is better. Now that I’m tasting ’em side by side. I was only, I had ’em one apart. I gave them the same score. I stand by it. Let’s get rid of that before we eat all this bacon. That’s good. Gracious. I’m choking on bacon, y’all. Okay. Okay. Oh gosh. I gotta put some more water in here. Now, I don’t usually note fast food uniforms, but when Burger King came out with this latest uniform, I noted it. You thought it was hot. I remember walking in and I saw a guy with their shirt on and before I realized he was a Burger King employee, because he wasn’t behind the counter, he was doing something at the drink machine. I literally was like, that’s a cool shirt. Just a cool shirt. I love that pattern. It’s like a burger. It’s like a burger on your shirt. So, yeah, that’s smart. You’re really gonna have to talk me out of this not being better than McDonald’s. And then they- Drab gray uniform. They also give you an ascott if you want it. And they give you all tight pants. Low-rise. Yep. I just, I really like that. It’s gonna be tough to beat that. That’s a good uniform. I’m about to. We’re going with the blockbuster themed graphics. Yeah, I requested that on this. That’s interesting. So McDonald’s, what can we say here? I mean. I mean it’s real people. There’s a ch- they’re real people. There’s a chest pocket. And it looks functional. There’s trim and these are inversions of each other. And then the shoulders are different colors. I mean, there’s some thoughtful chefiness involved in this. Yeah. I mean, it doesn’t do anything for me. But. This over here, I’d wear this to talk to the club. I do appreciate the details, but I’m with you. The layer, you’re wearing the layers of a burger. And the belt has a little red stripe on it. That’s part of it. There’s some really interesting math going on in the top of pant. In the woman’s Burger King area. I don’t understand the… You, you talking about her crotch? Yeah. You’re saying those pants are too low rise. Yeah, they’re really… and then honestly, a little too much detail in, in the crotch. Come on, lemme see. Like where are the guys? You know? This book is weird. Yeah, I mean, yeah… It’s a lot of detail. A lot of detail. It’s a cartoon. It’s a cartoon, it’s just a cartoon. But there’s a lot of detail there. Cartoon. It’s just a cartoon, don’t get any ideas. Burger King’s better. Yeah, let’s get rid of McDonald’s. Sorry, Mac. Okay. So what do we have next to go up against Burger King? Oh, we’re going with an airline, here. Virgin Airlines. Which, I mean, if they’re faulted for anything, it’s for being too extra here. I mean, look at the poses. Yeah. Yeah. That’s unnecessary. I’d say. It’s cool though. I like the silhouette. Now, it’s cool, but the thing about Burger King, is they don’t just have red. They have red, green, brown, light brown, and then black. So, they got more colors. So I’m still sticking with Burger King here. I wish they were on real people, though, just so I could really see it. Hey, we can go. I’ll take it to the Burger King. I’ll show you it’s cool. You’ll show me the people at Burger King. We’re not gonna order anything. Just go, “See, see the people back there?” “What would you like to order, sir?” “Nothing, I just wanna look at you.” “Just wanna look at y’all. I wanna look at y’all. You don’t mind if I just stand here and look at y’all.” “I’m just taking it in.” “Well, I’m just looking at your uniforms.” Yeah, yeah, yeah. “Not you, what you’re wearing.” “Not the crotch of your uniform. Just your whole uniform.” “Not your low-rise jeans. My goodness.” So, I, you know what? I do like this hue of red. It’s bold. It is. It’s nothing about this says Virgin to me though. Right. Right. This has experienced… Experience in the… Yeah. Why would you wanna get on an airline that’s like “Never flown before.” “First flight.” “We’re figuring out as we go.” “Never done this before.” “I mean, we gotta land it, so we know we’ll finish this flight.” Look at that. You can get the… whoa! Whoa. The inside of the jacket. Hey. Where do I get that? Burger King has got a reversible hoodie that makes you the burger. Whoa daddy. I’m telling you. And their belts. You’re right. It’s the end of the belt. It has a red- That’s a red thing for- That’s a real guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s a real person, Link. Wow. Man, I gotta get hold of one of those. And it says Burger, the Burger King is embroidered on it. Yeah, sorry Virgin. Isn’t McDonald’s embroidered on there? Yeah. Yeah. They can do that these days. All right Burger King has withstood two rounds of scrutiny. I’m telling you. Can it endure? The Trader Joe’s? Oh my gosh. What is happening here? So they do the Hawaiian shirts at Trader Joe’s. Oh my gosh. This is, this is a lot. Yeah, I don’t count this as a uniform. I think it’s, I like the laid back vibe that they’re going for here. I appreciate it. I just don’t think you can count it as a uniform. Because if you saw a group of people in those shirts approaching you, you wouldn’t think they all worked at the same place. You would think they were all on vacation together. You’d think they were at a bad destination wedding. Yeah, right. It’s just like, oh. These people come at you. They’re like, they’re going, “I gotta give these people money for something.” But at a certain point we’re gonna start to realize that they’re wearing the layers. The colors are burger layers. Yep. And that’s gonna start to work against you. But so far… Okay. I mean… But you know that Trader Joe’s is not gonna dethrone Burger King. No, there’s no way. There’s no way. This is just a, this is just a Hawaiian shirt. There’s something so Gen Z about your look, Rhett, with our Y2K… Right. Graphic and then you’re wearing a silver chain necklace over it. Over it. Yeah. I’m working real hard right now. Yeah, you could… What do I need to change? You could be a youngster. You could be a, Gen Z. I need to look younger? No, you look great. No cap, man. Thank you. You look good. Alright, here we go. Oh. Okay. Here we, here it is. Is this the moment that Burger King is going down? It’s hot dog on a stick. Oh my God. We had to put this in here because of Carney and you know what? Is it a coincidence that he had to leave? He gave me some real hot goss, though. Okay. He couldn’t stand the scrutiny? Yeah, he didn’t wanna talk about this. Yeah. Yeah. And via this photo, it might still be true. He said, when he worked at hotdog on a stick, that the guys were allowed to wear the blue visors, but the women were not. You just burped bacon in my face, man. Yeah. Well, no, I just burped it, but I- You gurgled. Yeah, but I kept it in. I’m sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Only the guys could wear the blue visors? and the women had to wear what? Those hats. The dumb hat. The, the… what kind of hat is that? Do you think that’s still a rule? I have no idea. Well, they get a demerit for that. I mean, this burnt uniform, it comes on strong man, it goes hard. Now. You know, I’m partial to stripes. We’ve made that clear. Now, if you turn a hotdog on the stick employees sideways. Yeah? Is it the layers of a hot dog? Is it? Is it, now? A blue hot dog with a bun, mayonnaise, ketchup and the other bun. Mayonnaise, ketchup… Yeah, but a hot dog on a stick is a corn dog. Yeah, you’re right. So that doesn’t work. Well, the legs are the sticks. I appreciate… It’s just circus. How, how- it’s memorable. You know what I’m saying? Like, it’s got that going. McDonald’s isn’t trying hard at all. McDonald’s, everybody should be dressed like Ronald. That’s what I think you should do at McDonald’s. This is, this is like professional chic grease. “Chicey greasy”, I would call it. This is still winning. Yeah. He said but Hot Dog on a Stick didn’t stand a chance. Yeah. I mean, I mean, Carney’s not here to defend himself. Is there anything else he told you? He said that on September 11th, he didn’t have to go in to work and he was excited about it. Whatever he said, like a month ago, he resaid that again to me. Okay. I’m sorry, Carney. He started talking… I blew it. I blew it. Carnie started talking about September 11th? Well, because he talked about that on the show like a month ago. And then he was… And he didn’t think to go in because of that. It was a joke. And then I tried to relay it to you. But, usually when you say something about September 11th, it’s not very funny. Right, yeah. yeah. It’s hard to make a joke about it. Yeah, yeah. Y’all remember Jen? Jen Matichuk? Yeah. Yeah. Canadian Jen? Yeah. Yep. Was here at Mythical for a long time. We had our highs, we had our lows. She was around for a long time. And Jen would bring us mail. Well, Jen is going to bring us a mail in a Mythical Society Special. That’s right. Mail with Jen. Is back. One time only. One time only special. So we want you to be a part of that. Send in your mail. It’s historic. And then we might read it on the special. Hey, send something to me for my birthday because we need the mail by October 2nd. I mean, you know, send me a birthday wish or something. Or send something to me for his birthday too. Make me feel welcome. In old. Whatever you want. You know, send it to us. Mail it, you know, look in the, look in the video description, it’ll show you where, where our mailing address is for mail for Jen. Okay. Can we have somebody have a better uniform than- The post- Oh, to clarify. Sorry. Sorry. The reason why you don’t remember the September… I’m don’t want to bring it back, but, but the reason why you don’t remember that conversation about September 11th. That was a conversation that Matt and I had a month ago. Oh. It wasn’t on the show. Apparently it wasn’t on the show. But, hold on. You had it. Yeah. I get confused about what happens on the show- And you don’t remember. And what happens in regular life too. Oh Yeah. I know. I don’t know anymore. Oh. I don’t even try to differentiate. Thank you. See he didn’t want to- Are you trying to make me feel better? He didn’t wanna talk about September 11th publicly. This life- No. Is my show. You see how I said that? Well remembered. Yes? This is my life right now. I’m living my life right now. This life is my show. Well, this part of my life is this show. This show is my life. No, it’s not. I’m just saying- My life- Is this not your life happening right now? This is, this- This is my life right now. My life right now- It’s not the only thing in my life. Is this show. Can my life, my life right now is this show too. Right. Yeah, you’re living- So when I was referencing that thing that didn’t happen on the show, but it did happen on the show. It was on the show. That’s living. I understand. Yeah. As I was saying, United States Postal Service. Can you say, “This life is my show.” This life is my show. Yeah, see. Now, this life is my show. Bring it in. That’s, wow. There’s a lot, lot to like about this. The hat to start with. Tucked in. I mean the safari hat. You’ve got the side satchel. You’ve got the, you’ve got some sort of mail in your hand probably. But the mail’s not part of the uniform. Come on, get a grip. Nice belt work there. This is- It’s so official. This is Urban Safari. This works. It’s clean. This is- It’s professional. This is doing things for me. It says uniform, it says pride. It says, “You count on me for messages.” You kind of get a little bit of an excited feeling when you see somebody in a mail uniform because it means you got some mail. But, I mean, I don’t know about that verses the Burger King shirt. It’s patriotic. It’s a government job. Yeah. And it was like a campaign. It felt like we were about to get rid of it a couple years ago. Remember that? Yeah. It’s like about to go under. We had to like fight for the postal people to stick around. Yeah. It’s… I’m partial to the postals. I like how the pants match the logo in the shirt. And when somebody “goes postal”, that’s a usually a good thing, right? No. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, I brought that up. I wish I could see the shoes. Do they have, are there, I think they’re all pumps across the board. Reebok pumps. Really? But they’re black. They’re like black tennis shoes. No, I think they can wear anything they want. You think they can wear any shoes they want? I’m, I’ve lost interest in Burger King. Well, hold on, hold on. But let me just, before you dethrone it, I mean, just look at this. So they- I’m just bored of it. I think is the problem. They give you two options, Link. You can wear the burger flag on your pocket or you can have it as the whole top half of your shirt. Polo or button up. When I walked into the Burger King and saw this young man at the drink machine. I was like, “Good god, where did that guy get that polo?” And then I saw everyone else was wearing it too. And then I realized, oh, this is Burger King uniform. “Good God, man. Where did you get that polo?” “Good God, sir.” What if you went out to that guy? “Excuse me, sir.” I know it’s happened. “Excuse me, sir.” I guarantee you it’s happened. “I’m not an employee.” “Excuse me, you who do not work here. Good God, man. Where did you get that shirt? It’s amazing.” In a Polo. Oh it’s so nice. “Good God, man. I love your shirt.” It’s so nice. Good God. Good God, man. Tell me about your shirt.” Now this. I mean, “I don’t have a choice to wear it. It’s just a burger.” “It’s lettuce, tomato.” Yeah, burger then bun. Now is that a tomato or is that ketchup? Because- It’s whatever you want it to be. I hope it’s ketchup. The brown is the burger. If I saw this young lady. How else can you pull off that much brown in a black ensemble? I mean, that’s not, I know you can do it these days. No, it’s hard, it’s bold. It’s bold though. It’s bold. Now, I see this and I don’t think, can I wear it? I think “Oh, but what mail’s here?” “Good God, girl, you’re delivering the mail?” She’s gone. You’re right. Wow. One last chance for Burger King. One last chance. Oh shoot. Home Depot? Home Depot is nothing but… An apron. An apron. Where did you give that apron? “Good god, man. Is that an apron?” Hold on, don’t give it, don’t slide it yet. No, it’s great for an apron. I mean, it has pockets. Listen, it’s eye-catching. And there’s, you write your own name on it. Yeah. One time I made the mistake of going to the Home Depot in an orange apron. Now, I’ll never do that again. Right. Yeah. That was a mistake. People wouldn’t stop asking me questions. You know, it’s, it’s up to you to, this is not… An apron, a uniform does not make. No, it doesn’t. It takes more than an apron to make a uniform. Now, she does have a bionic left arm. Well, I think that is a- It’s a price thing. It’s a forearm computer. Yeah. It’s like a pricing thing. I mean, she could be bad- Is that part of the uniform? Well, she’s got a, is her tattoo part of the uniform? No, you’re right, good point. They write their own name on their uniform. Yep. Yep. I don’t believe, I don’t believe that’s a good idea. Well, I think we’ve got a clear winner here. Yeah. I mean, I knew it all along. Burger King. I mean, it was the ascott for me. Officially, the best uniform in the biz. “Good god, man. Your shirt, tell me about it. Please can’t- Excuse me sir, good God, man.” I just can’t imagine you going up to- I’m gonna do it man. “Hey dude. Good God, man.” “Good God, man.” “Good God, man. Tell me about your shirt.” William Shatner sees a uniform that he likes. “Good God, man.” “Good God, man.” Mail with Jen is back for a one-time only Mythical Society Special. Send in your mail by October 2nd.
