I wanna know what happened. Junior, are you okay? My hand came off of the grip and hit. Another one. Another thing. Another one! It’s not, it’s, it’s hurting, but it’s, the skin isn’t broken, and you know what that means. Ignore it. Do you think macaroni salad will help? Yeah, alright, so there we go. That’s the biggest spin fail in the history of Good Mythical More. What a loser I am. This’ll make you feel better. Welcome to Good Mythical More. Hey, it’s not about spinning the wheel, it’s about trying to spin the wheel. You know what I’m saying? You see? You’re still on a space! I still got it! It’s still Ready Pet Go, just because it didn’t go around a few times and satisfy everybody. I’m such a disappointment, Dad. Doesn’t matter, man. You showed up, you did your best, you hurt yourself a little bit. Now let’s name someone’s pet. That’ll, that’ll, that will cheer me up. Submitted with the hashtag GMM Ready Pet Go from Danny Lunden. This is. Oh, what a dramatic shot. Hello. Petrus. Petrus? Petrus. What about Georgie? Lucy? What is it? Apple. Oh. Apple. Like the. That’s a good name for that dog. Like Gwyneth’s child. That’s a good name for that dog. Apple. Apple. – Apple. – Apple. Oh, it’s just a picture. Okay. Gwynedd! Come in! You know who’s winning? Gwyning! Hi! You know who won? Hey! I think I need some height here. Bring your chair up. Right here, right here. Bring your chair up. There we go! Gwynedd has been taste testing stuff. Yeah. Scoot over a little bit. Constantly. Right there in the middle. Right there in the middle. Is that better? No. She’s going. Towards you. Towards you. Towards you. We’re going backwards. Towards you. Here we go. Yeah, and then I can. Alright. There we go. We got it. Okay. How’s your hand doing? He’s not well. If it’s not bleeding, it’s not hurt. Alright. That’s what they always say. I love that. Words to live by. Internal bleeding is not really bleeding. That’s what they say. That’s what they say. So, prepared foods. Yeah! This is when you go to the grocery store, and the people in the back have made something for you. Yes. So it’s like normally you’d buy ingredients and make your own food at the grocery store, but you don’t even have to. This is so much better. The best thing to take to a potluck or family reunion. Absolutely. Yep. Just grab some stuff. Now you want to take the stickers off first. I did not know that different places were, had different things that were irresistible. Yeah, they’re pretty dramatically different. Alright, where are we starting? So, let’s start with, do you guys want to try some sushi from Whole Foods? Yeah, we do. So, Justine did this taste test. I know, I feel like I’m like a kinda too. Justine did this taste test, because I assign all of our taste tests and I did not want to do this one. Cause you don’t like sushi? – I don’t like. – The idea. I don’t really like the idea of it. The idea of grocery store sushi. Yeah. My kids are always getting sushi from Ralph’s, I’ll be honest. All right. I mean, also we tried some, like, frozen kinds. It just comes frozen and you just defrost it. It was from Aldi and it was actually, like, also not bad. I’m gonna eat some of this. I’m just gonna, I’m just gonna kinda do that. But. Cause I feel like we’re in that territory. Yeah. But you’re saying this is a good one. So this is from, yeah, so this is from Whole Foods. And I think it’s like unsurprisingly, like, this was the best one. Like, it was the freshest tasting and. And I’m just gonna use your fork because this is where we’re at right now. Okay. We’re just, we’re just barely getting by today. What do you think? – Well, I’m not in an aficionado. – It’s solid. Yeah, I know, I’m not either. It’s solid. Okay. This is from where? Whole Foods. Whole Foods! Whole Foods, man. Whole paycheck! I don’t. Yeah. I wanna get in on this. I wanna taste one of the salmon things when you’re done. I used to, have grocery store sushi back in North Carolina 20 years ago before playing soccer, so. Right before playing soccer? Pre-soccer sushi? Yeah, it was like, after school snack, pre-practice. It was California rolls, so you know, there’s not anything dangerous, but. Or. It’s gotta be better now. It’s actually quite tasty. This is the tsunami combo. It’s no Sugarfish, it’s not gonna be room temp. But, it’s pretty good. Yeah, I’m happy with that. I finally had Sugarfish for the first time. Was it good? And, it was like an assorted thing. Yeah. Don’t say you didn’t like it. I don’t like a lot of assort of the, I’m not a, I don’t like a lot of the assorted things, but there are a few things. You don’t like assorted things? Like, sushi assortments. You know, it’s hard for me. What kind of sushi do you usually like? Soy paper. Me too! Yeah, I don’t like that. I don’t like that seaweed paper. Me too. They don’t do that at Sugarfish, do they? Nope. Yeah. You know, I think if you left it out of the fridge for a little bit longer. Just let it get room temp. Like, the, the fish quality is pretty dang good. Taste wise it’s great. It’s pretty good. I was going here. Oh, let’s go there then. Let’s start, yeah, let’s do this, pasta salad. From? It’s bowties. Why not? It’s, this is also from Whole Foods. This is the best, this was the best pasta salad that we tasted. Is it good? – Do you like it? – Yeah, we got some. It has cucumbers and things in it, right? Some, sun dried tomatoes. – So no matter where you are. – Yes, that was huge. In the world and you go to a Whole Foods, it’s gonna be consistent? Yeah, I think their bistro pasta salad is like, they must make it with the same ingredients and stuff. That’s my understanding. That’s good. It’s better than what I would do if I started to try to like, start from scratch. It’s got some sun dried tomatoes, which, in my opinion, is the only tomato worth eating. They’re good, right? And there’s cheese in there too. There’s like a lot going on. That’s a good pasta salad. You’re not gonna make that at home. That’s good to note. Yeah! Nobody’s gonna put that many ingredients together. No, my God. There’s a limit to how many things you can put together in a bowl at home. That’s like seven max. Even having to like, what, boil that pasta and then like, let it cool down and then add things to it. I mean, I’m exhausted. Here’s our Whole Foods stack. We’re gonna keep that together. Okay. Yeah, we’re happy with that. Yeah. That’s good. This is going really well so far. I’m really talking. Yeah, I’m glad you’re already checking it. I’m ready to get to this macaroni salad. Oh my God, look at it. If there was a macaroni salad that I knew I could count on. You would get it more? I just haven’t found it yet. I would get it more. I hope you like this one. Will you hand me a fork too? I want to taste it. I will definitely hand you a fork. So this is from, this is Signature Select, which is sold at Albertsons owned grocery stores. So here, that’s like Vons and Pavilions and stuff like that. But they’re all over the country. But I think this is just, it’s like a really classic one, right? Yeah, it’s good. It’s creamy. That is good. Yeah, man. Now what do I want with this? Pepper. Put a little pepper on it. Yeah, I want some pepper on it, but I think I want some fried chicken. Well, you know, we have fried chicken. Oh. So. Well, bring me some fried chicken then. Well, slow down now. Cause this is from Walmart. No. You weren’t listening, man. I thought you said Walmart. You said that like. Albertsons owned. So, Vons and Pavilions. Sorry. That’s okay. I wanna think about what you would do to these in order to present them at the family reunion. Because I think with this, you gotta take it, you put it in a shallow dish, and you, you pepper it. You could even do some parsley or something. Just a little something to be like, oh that looks nice. It’s Albertsons. – Yeah. – Yeah. Signature Select. See, when I, Signature Select is what made me think Walmart. Okay. That’s what threw me. Totally, I get it. Because isn’t Signature Select at Walmart? You’re thinking about, what? Best? There is a signature something. Yeah. It’s a signature something. Maybe it’s Target. I don’t know. I’m confused. Yeah. But this is, this is reliable. It’s good stuff. All right. It’s very creamy. And then, look! Fried chicken. I asked for the fried chicken, and I, listen. Ralphs, Ralphs will do you right with fried chicken. But this is not from Ralphs. It is from Ralphs, actually. I was about to say, I think it is. I didn’t know they had this type of, this type of bag, this type of box. Yeah. So, this is from. This is the best fried chicken that you can get. Outside of a, like a sit down place. And for people who do not live on the West, this looks really good. Y’all people who don’t like white meat, look at that. But it’s not the best way, it’s just not. You went for the wrong. It’s so moist if they do it right. That’s insane. It’s so moist. Yeah, it’s good. Like it’s good. It’s. If that’s the only thing yeah, I’ll eat it, but if there’s a darker piece, it taste so much better. If there’s what? A dark piece. Yeah, that’s fair. I think if it’s moist, it’s the best meat. This is like, I think the biggest thing that Rhett and I, that we disagree about. We don’t really sync up. Yeah. When it comes to the culinary stuff. I feel. Are you talking about dark meat and white meat? Yeah. You’re not talking about Ralphs or no Ralphs? I’m saying, when you pull off a chunk of meat like that, that is so consistent and is so moist, it doesn’t get any better than that. Yes. I agree. I got a piece of white meat and it was actually really good. And so, yeah, super moist. Ralph does so good. So this is, okay, so also, if you don’t live on the west coast and you don’t have a Ralphs near you, this is, Ralphs is owned by Kroger. Kroger. So this is, thank you. God. Yeah, so Kroger owned grocery stores. But this isn’t. They have really good fried chicken. This is not Ralphs. I know it’s Ralphs. I know you know. We’re just having fun. That’s a good one. Now, I’m just eating chicken. I need a minute. So, I know, it’s hard, once you start eating fried chicken, it’s really hard to stop, isn’t it? What is your favorite fried chicken? Generally. Thigh. You mean the from, from where? From like a restaurant. Yeah. Thigh. I’m a thigh guy no matter where I’m at. My favorite fried chicken in town is Gus’s. I love Gus’s. Gus’s is good. – It’s so good. – Gus’s is spicy. Yeah. For a non-spicy, Ralphs is, Ralphs is up there, y’all. Ralphs. Nice. I mean, I like the nostalgia of KFC, but I get over it really quickly. I agree. Every once in a while, I’m like, specifically in the mood for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Right. And it’s so good, and I love their mashed potatoes. I don’t even understand them, really. What they are. The best fast food chicken, fried chicken, is Bojangles. Oh, okay. I don’t think I’ve ever had Bojangles. But since it’s not out here yet. But yes, of course, Bojangles is our jam. Okay, but in the meantime you can go to Ralphs and get some really good fried chicken, and that’s just like, news you can use, baby! Don’t sleep on Ralph’s fried chicken. Yes. Double breaded and hand dipped, my God. Okay, now we’re moving on to potato salad. Deviled egg potato salad. Yeah. This is Walmart. This is Walmart. This is Walmart. Okay. So this is their deviled egg potato salad, which has like, it looks, it has like rather large chunks of egg in it. And then dill. Okay, I like the dill now. A lot of mayonnaise. This is mayonnaise heaven. You gotta like dill. But I love dill. Dang, that’s good, Gwynedd. Oh my God. Truly. I mean, they’re sourcing this from like. They’re making it, man. They’re not sourcing it. They’re making it. That is so good. Yeah, you’re right. It starts from scratch. They prepare it. That’s why they call it prepared foods. True. And this isn’t Walmart. I’m really not tracking it, though. There’s somebody in the back. You’re right, Rhett. They’re making this. Who’s following a recipe every day. Making that stuff. It’s fresh, man. Do I like this better than a macaroni salad? Yes. Because you shouldn’t get both of, you shouldn’t get both. – No. – That’s a lot of mayonnaise. It’s a lot of mayonnaise. You gotta decide which is. I like it better. I like the, potato salad better than the, macaroni salad. That would be my pick. Yep. It’s so much fresher tasting because you can tell that they used actual fresh dill in that and not, like, dried herbs because that would taste like junk, I think. Junk. Junk. – Junk. – Yes. That would taste like junk. Junk. Don’t make fun of me! Alright, so, the. The potato salad has moved to the to the top. Cool. Go to Walmart for your potato salad and go to Ralphs for your chicken. Yeah, they had a lot of good potato salad at Walmart. Yes, that’s the place to go. I never had this when it was at Kroger. Did you ever get just fried chicken? No, cause back home we would get Bojangles, but since we don’t have it out here. There’s not like a reliable fried chicken place around here. Like, Gus’s is just like, there’s one, there’s like two. And also I try to limit my fried chicken intake. You know I do too. It’s a treat. Make it a treat. Yeah. Okay, next we’re gonna have some grocery store muffins. So, you don’t have to wait in line at the coffee shop. You can just go to the grocery store and buy your muffins for the morning. That one’s really deformed. But you might as well wait in line there as well. Let’s go with this. Go pick a number. Break that apart. Let’s eat off of that one. Okay. Save these. So, these are from a grocery store called Sprouts. Sprouts is always a little bit confusing to me. – I haven’t done a whole. – Help me appreciate Sprouts. I hope that this muffin helps you appreciate Sprouts. I just took a lot of the top. Yeah, what? I didn’t mean to, it just came out that way. I didn’t take all of it. I know, that’s what you want to taste though, right? Is the top. Top of the muffin to you. That’s from Seinfeld. So what, how, help me understand Sprouts. I think it’s like. That’s good. It’s like, whole, it’s Whole Foods-ish, because it is like, health foodie, and I think they have like, bulk. Bulk. Grains and things and nuts. Grains and nuts. – And sprouts. – And sprouts. It’s called Sprouts, which makes it sound very healthy. I think it’s, I’ve been there a few times. I think it’s a nice grocery store. We obviously order stuff from there all the time to try for our taste tests. I heard that Brad Pitt would just go in there by himself. That’s what somebody told me. – Yeah. – Really? Yep. There’s a Sprouts. By himself? There’s a Sprouts that Brad Pitt would just be in by himself, bulking nuts. This is good. Wow. This is good. I didn’t, you’d think he’d be strictly at Bristol Farms or one of those. He’s a Sprouts guy. Yeah. I love that. Those are really good. Link’s having a little trouble but. Okay, I like that. That’s a moist muffin though. Very. That’s a moist muffin. Speaking of moist muffins. Now we’re getting to the really good stuff, which is rotisserie chicken. Rotisserie chicken. That’s the thing that everybody thinks that they should buy when they’re being lazy. There it is. It’s in a bag. You just take it. And it’s so cheap. I love it. I love rotisserie chicken. So much. You can get one of these for what? Like, what are they? A nickel. At Kirkland. I mean, it’s not expensive at all. No, I think, oh, I don’t know if that’s a price tag or it’s telling us other information because that would be a really weird price, wouldn’t it? Nine thirty-five? That can’t be right. I can’t think of off the top of my head how much a Kirkland chicken costs, but I think they’re pretty affordable. And people, so I brought, how much? $6.21 – $6.21? – $6.21. A whole chicken for $6.21? I know it’s kind of sad, but let’s roll with it. So Gwynedd, sorry if this is going way, rewinding, but like this is like, these are the best out of all the grocery stores that you tried of each one of these particular items. So, so for rotisserie chicken, did you have a tie? So, here’s the thing. This one, this rotisserie chicken was our number one, but this is from Smart and Final, and Smart and Final is like only on the west coast. It’s like in California and Nevada and Arizona. And I think that’s it. This is a really bitching chicken. So, this was our second place. And this is from Costco. So obviously you can get this like kind of anywhere. So I brought, I brought two chickens. Bitching chick. This is good. So this one, I remember we did the taste test in the kitchen, like the Mythical Kitchen and Josh like tried it and like absolutely loved it. Do you have thoughts on it? It’s a different, here try that, Rhett. It’s like salty, right? Well seasoned. Is it like a barbecue sort of approach? It looks like it’s like rubbed. It’s got a, it’s got a really strong rub on it. You’re right. Yeah. Yeah. It’s good. – Oh, I just flung. – You flung something. Yeah, I did. Unfortunately. But I wouldn’t call it classic rotisserie. I would call it more of like, surprisingly. I feel like it’s the luck of the draw with chickens a little bit. Cause this one, I’m gonna be honest, that breast is a little dry. But it’s very flavorful. Now, I would never. The flavor of it is interesting. In a good way. I would never ask Stevie to eat that. Why? Because this would give white meat a bad name. – I know. – I’m just saying. I would, I can enjoy it. But, if you’re trying to convert a dark meat person to a white meat person, which I am actively trying to do, you gotta give them a moist piece of meat. And you know I can’t do it. Cause I am a dark meat man. Did you try this one? Yeah, that one’s great, and it was even more moist. Okay, this looks beautiful. $6.21 for a chicken. It looks so good. You can eat off that thing, like, if you’re single. That’s a whole week. That’s, that’s multiple meals. Yeah. You can put that in a pasta. You can put it in a salad. You gotta stretch that. In tacos. When we bring this home, the dogs go nuts. Cause they always get, like when you pull it apart and like put it in other things, they’re like, the dogs always get a little bit of the chicken. That’s the one thing that we feed them from the, from the kitchen counter. Yeah. And they know the sound. They know that sound. Chicken bag. Chicken bag sound. They’re very smart. They come running. I’m a fried chicken man. I gotta put that ahead of these, but this is, I mean, yeah. And it basically, because there’s a rope around a rotisserie chicken, it makes me feel weird when there’s like a, when they’ve been, like tied up. It looks like it’s been tortured. Yeah, for sure. But they were tied up after the event. Yeah. I’m just not, it gives me a level of discomfort. Yeah. Yeah. It’s kind of, it’s still kind of dark. You want somebody to just take all the chicken off of the chicken and give you that chicken so you don’t think about it being a chicken? I would just prefer it not to be handcuffed, when I’m eating it. Now you’re ruining it for me. You know? Totally. If there was a string tying up all my fried chicken, I don’t know if I’d like that either. Me either. At all. I feel like I’m dressed like kind of a goth farmer today, so this is all, like, working out really well. Goth farmer. That’s a big demo. I thought I brought more stuff than this, but that’s it. Hey, listen. I looked at the list and I was like, that’s so much stuff. I’m very satisfied, Gwynedd. I might go into Smart and Final, just to get chicken. They have, they, it’s good. It’s good chicken, and they have cheap groceries. Thank you for bringing your bounty to us, Gwynedd. I’m so happy that we all enjoyed ourselves today. We did. Good, good picks. Great. Crab Shack is a little old place. And then it would be, Crab Shack, Crab Shack, baby. Crab Shack, baby!
