GMMore 2836: Who Makes The Best Tuna Salad Sandwich?

Welcome to Good Mythical More. We are going to go head to head to see who can make the best tuna salad sandwich using these ingredients. Yes. But first, let’s check our voicemail. This is my impression of Link DJing. Beep beep bop. Beep beep beep boop bop boop beep boop boop Boop beeb beep boop boop boop bop beep bop! And this is my impression of Rhett doing country music. Hoouuuuuughhhhhh. Heeee houggghhhh. Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. Pretty good. All round, I’d say. Yeah, I guess. I guess spot on. Yes. Welcome Jordan. Jordan Myrick loves a good tuna salad sandwich. That must have really hurt both of your feelings. Houghhh, well that’s what I sounded liked. No, that’s what I seen. You are great at DJing. Oh. You DJ our holiday parties. I’ve seen you DJ a bunch of times. You’re great at DJing. And you’re great at music. Houuughhhhh, thanks for saying that. You’re welcome. Okay. I’m excited about this. Not because I am a huge tuna salad fan. I am though. Okay. But because I don’t know if you know about this. You probably know about it ’cause you keep up with things and he doesn’t. ’cause he doesn’t, um. The Matthew McConaughey. Tuna Salad sandwich. Yeah. So– With the peas and the apple. Oh, it was crazy. Yeah. Apples and the wasabi. Yeah. And it was just absolutely nuts. You made it? No, I didn’t make it, but I was captivated by it for weeks. Yes. I too have not tried it. Again, accessing the same internet that the three of us have access to. Sure. But somehow finding parts of it that he doesn’t know about. You have not heard about the Matthew McConaughey tuna salad sandwich? No. He makes a tuna salad sandwich that he claims he eats every single day. Oh, that has like potato chips and peas and corn and wasabi and apples and like. And he talked about it with Tom Segura, I think the first time. And then it just, everyone just kept asking him about it. And I think he was like on a morning show making it like it was just. Oh. But people have made it and say it’s really good. Yeah. But, so I kind of feel like we’ve got quite a standard to live up to. And I don’t see any peas up here, but I see some interesting things. But I’m looking for your rendition of the Matthew McConaughey Tuna salad. Right, yes. But first we must decide who goes first. Okay. To do that. Um, guess my birthday. Okay. Um, June or May, June seven. I any like ideas of what sign might be? Um, same as me, Gemini. Okay. You’re a Gemini? Mm-hmm. Uh, okay. I only know a couple of signs in where they actually, they land in the– Sure. In the thing. I’ll take a birthday or sign. They didn’t really ask for sign. I think you are an. Late August. Okay. August 25th. Link. You’ll be going first because you are closer, but still very wrong. Oh, it’s July. No, March. Oh, 24th. And I’m an Aries. Aries. I’m an Aries. Aries, but most of my close friends are Geminis, so that makes sense to me that you’re Gemini, what are you? Libra. Okay, that makes sense too. I feel like, yeah. I guess I’m gonna start with bread. I mean, maybe. I’ll take the white bread. White bread, okay. White bread. I’ll take the rye bread. Okay. I need to address the rye bread quickly. This rye bread hopefully is good, but it’s not a Sporked pick. We had our Sporked pick sent to the office and someone stole it. You know that it’s on camera. That’s what I was told by the producers here is that big allegation. Someone so is not the one that’s on the thing. This is not the one that’s on the thing. We do like Ora Wheats products in general. I just don’t know if I’ve had this one specifically. You’re hopefully it’s good, but I just. I think a rye bread is a correct choice for, for tuna salad sandwich. It’s classic. Okay. Link. But levies is the one you wanted? Yes. Okay. Hmm. What do I want next? I think I want some mayoracha. ’cause I know you love that. We love mayoracha. And I don’t want Rhett to get it. Fair. Very fair. Okay. Fun. Okay. I need to know too, you like tuna salad? Mm-hmm. You like tuna salad? Once I get used to it, I’m okay with it. And how long does that take? About like. Four bites. Six bites. And at first you’re like, Ew. And then you– I’m like, this isn’t chicken salad. And then you ease into it. And then I’m like, okay, okay. Okay. Alright. I noticed you didn’t pick a tuna. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know if I need that. I’m thinking I’m, I’m flirting with no tuna in my tuna salad. Okay. I mean, there is a world in which he gets two tunas and you get none. Yeah. And I think you would by default lose, right? Because it has to have tuna, if it’s a tuna salad. The real question is. Tunaless! When you go– Salad. Okay. Like. It has a word tuna in it. That’s true. I don’t know a lot about tuna. Okay. But I assume that albacore, because it has this descriptor, is better than just white tuna. The white tuna is also in olive oil, which is an interesting choice, which. What’s this one? Isn’t necessarily a bad thing to have. No. But this is probably in water, the Albacore? And it’s got an American flag, Rhett. But again. You didn’t choose tuna yet, so I maybe we, I can wait on my tuna choice. Oh, okay. Or I can, I can test you and see if you’re really gonna go tuna less. I think that’s more interesting. I’ll take the albacore tuna. Okay. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I, I, I have to go with the white tuna. I’m glad I floated it out there. You talked to big game. It would be, here you go. It would be a farce. I really thought you were gonna do something different. Wow. Okay. That’s like whole tuna you said. I would lose. It’s nice tuna. What is that, Ortiz? This is the America tuna. And it’s brown in there. Yeah. It tastes delicious, but everything else about it seems strange. Okay. So super oily over there. Yeah. Lots of oil. Yeah. Are you gonna drain it or are you gonna keep it in? I think, uh, I’ve never. I thought about that. Typically tuna with oil is considered fancier. Better quality. Yeah. Let’s leave it in. More expensive. Alright, sorry. Slippery, very oily. Um, I’m going to. I gonna put, I’m gonna put that in here. I want to drain this into my cup. All this mixes together. Hmm. The studio is gonna smell very specific after this. Should I? Oh shoot. I don’t think I want. That’s a lot. Too late. Okay. Alright. Too late. This is going to be very oily. It’s good though. I can drain it at the end. I can put it in a cheesecloth. Yay. Give this man a cheesecloth. That’s interesting strategy that I’ve never heard of or thought about. It’s so oily. And now. Uh, that, uh, first of all, you need to put your choice up here. It was a good choice on your Mayoracha. I do love Mayoracha. Uh, I am gonna have to just go with. Real mayonnaise, which is fine. Let’s do that. Great. Another great, great thing. You gotta have that base. I do think that tuna salad should have mayonnaise in it. Oh yeah. That’s why I wasn’t gonna let him double up on mayonnaise. Yeah. Let’s see. Are we heavy mayonnaise or light mayonnaise? Here’s here. Heavy. I am a heavy mayonnaise. Yeah, typically. Good. I almost went with this first. I feel like this is going to be a clincher. Capers. Okay. Capers, all right. Are gonna bring it. I don’t think of Mayoracha and Capers necessarily going together right off the top of my head, but that doesn’t mean they don’t. It doesn’t mean that they don’t. And I love a caper with a tuna. As long as you’re continuing to leave the door open to classic ingredients that then I can spice up later. I’m gonna keep up taking that. Okay. So I’m gonna go with the relish because. Okay. So far I’ve just got the three things that you have to have in a tuna salad. And this is a sweet relish, which is normally not my pick. That being said, this is a very good sweet relish. Ooh, that smells good. Yeah. If you’re gonna do sweet relish, that’s the one to go with. Should I go with, um, this is you? Yeah. Now that, I mean, I guess I have to go with the pickle chips. Okay. Because I need to have some of that pickley pickley. I love that we’re doing a caper and a pickle. We’re doing double brine and that makes sense to me. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I love a bright and briny tuna salad. Deets and Watson, they’re very good. Making another appearance. We love them. Uh, I’m gonna go ahead and choose the white cheddar cheese because I, I kind of want a little more flavor, flavor, the cheese kind of breaking through versus the Swiss. I’m actually excited about this. I don’t feel like we gave you any upsetting ingredients, and I think no matter what, it’s gonna taste pretty good. Are we gonna chop it once you put it in there? It’s up to you, you can do whatever you want. Because I feel like I need to do some chopping. Yeah. I feel like tuna salad is so controversial. People really don’t like it. I, I, I agree. It’s like the, it’s frowned upon. Like it’s so way you don’t eat it. Eat it on a plane. Don’t eat it on a plane. Okay. But it’s good for you. It’s so good for you. Yeah. I’m just like, if you don’t like tuna salad, grow up. You know what I mean? Grow up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m just like, turn your nose up. It feels like a thing of being like, tuna is gross. It reminds me of those people who were like, I’m scared of feet. Do you remember that? Yeah. Right. Yeah. I feel like when I was in middle school, there were so many girls that were like, I’m scared of feet, and it became like a weird, cute thing to do. Yeah. I think it still is. You have to kind of le leave behind weird, cute things as you get older. I agree with you. Yeah. I’m like, just be just like the nor, you know what I mean? Like Yeah. Just be an adult. You’re not scared of feet. You don’t hate tuna salad. Right? Yes. Jordan, preach. Thank you. I’m staying out of this one. Why are you scared of gonna get canceled? I, I’m, I’m definitely not afraid of feet, but. But what? I mean, I’m scared of a lot of things. What are you scared of? Number one, quick go. Number one thing that comes to your mind. Say it now quick. Hurry. You’re not doing it. The whole point was I didn’t wanna say anything. That was the whole point. You didn’t want anyone to know anything you’re scared of. Yeah. Haven’t you drunk pee on this show before? Yep, he has. But you don’t want people to know what you’re scared of. I mean, in terms of foods, I’m scared of a lot of foods. Oh, that’s even less upsetting. Oh, aren’t you, don’t you? You don’t like tomatoes? Don’t cry. Whose choice is it? No, I don’t. Is it my choice? I think it’s yours. Because you have two and he has one. We’re almost done. Yeah, because I just chose the white cheddar cheeses. Oh, well fine. I want the, I want the potato chips. Okay. Huge for you. Now that’s gonna be good. Where are these chips at? I’m just thinking. Okay. And so you get, you Sporked has picked the CapCod. Yes. They’re incredible. The one thing about them, and I’m wrong about this, is that they’re little. What? I thought they were little. No. I think it’s, they’re pretty big. I’m thinking of the other kettle chips. There’s another kettle chip that, like the biggest one in the sack is half this size. Interesting. I don’t know about that. I am going to take the Swiss cheese as well. Oh, hmm. Okay. I don’t know why you didn’t take cheese. Not what I would’ve chosen, but I respect you. I didn’t see that as eligible. I’m sticking him with no cheese and I’m doing a double cheese. Okay. This is a, this is a little bit of a double strategy, not what I would’ve chosen, but I just want to see him have to live with no cheese. This is what I have to say though. I would not say that tuna salad sandwich needs cheese. Oh, I didn’t know that. There is one thing that I would say it does need. Tuna. One more thing. Because I, I’m trying to get the oil. Okay. Link you’re up. Well. Is there anything left? Pesto? God. Okay, I’ll take pesto. It’s not all that’s left. And I will take mustard. Okay. Yes. Couldn’t even see over there. I love mustard. I love mustard. Tuna salad sandwich. Tuna salad needs mustard. I’m so happy. Not if you have pesto. This is what, these are the ingredients that I would’ve chosen. The only thing I wouldn’t, I would’ve done differently is I think the Mayoracha. But. Yeah, I think that’s, I agree with you. This is gonna be greasier than the BP oil spill. Yeah, it is so greasy. Pesto, and two cans of tuna with oil. Yeah. And then mayonnaise. But it seems like. Y’all are gonna have to pay for my doctor’s visit after this. For the cheesecloth, I need the cheesecloth. I need, I need a cholesterol test. Or some sort of. He’s gonna put his through a cheesecloth. I’m scared. Are we getting him a cheesecloth? Is that a real thing we’re doing? It doesn’t look like anyone’s moving. The PAs don’t wanna do it. I just have to use paper towel. And then it’ll be like when I desperately made coffee with paper towels as filters. Ugh. Why did you leave so much oil in it? This looks awesome. Mm, I’m excited about this. My one concern with yours is that two cheeses can be kind of dry. This kind of cheese can be a little dry. Yeah. I’m gonna go super wet on the, uh. I don’t know, something to think about. Super wet on the. The salad part. Please tell me something you’re scared of. Um. That’s my plate. Can I have a new plate, guys? I’m trying to think of something I’m scared of. Um. Yes. Circulation. Yeah. Blood circulation. He doesn’t like the circulatory system. You are scared that yours isn’t working or? No, I just, I’m scared of it. You think it looks scary? It’s not. I’m not saying it’s logical. I’m just saying it’s, it is what it is. Okay. Maybe you shouldn’t watch him do, do that just for your own sake as a person who’s about to eat it. Thank you. Ahhhh! Okay. You can be scared of that. Oh my God. And it’s not, and it’s not childish. Oh my God. I’m, it’s, it’s not childish. I’m, I’m trying to be, he made such a liquid sound. I’m so, I need more paper towels if you’re not gonna gimme a cheesecloth. Actually, I’m mad at you guys now for not getting him a cheesecloth. This is just directly negatively affecting me. Jordan, I searched the internet to find out what Link was afraid of. Thank you. Uh, his fear of abandonment and worthlessness. Oh God. That’s rough. That’s true. Wow. Do you think you’re worthless or are you scared of being worthless? I’m scared of being worthless. Yeah. And, and, and alone. Do you think your wife’s gonna leave you? Rejected. Who do you think would leave you first? I don’t think, I don’t think she’s gonna leave me, but I think she should sometimes. I think maybe she should. She should. Who do you think would leave you first, Rhett or your wife? Hmm, good question. Uh, Christie. Okay. Oh, because I agree with that. That’s a little presumptuous. I think Rhett has way too much to lose and she has so much to gain. Yeah, absolutely. Right? Absolutely. Who you think would leave you first, your wife or Link? This is shaping up. Uh, my wife. Get rid of that. Okay. Yeah, I think you guys are really locked into each other. This is gonna be interesting. I mean, and that is the perfect amount that I grabbed with my bare fist and squeezed through the paper towel. It looks good now, but it is hard to unsee what I saw. And I also am tired of eating food here that touched so much of your hand. Yeah, it’s a clean hand. I’m not touching any of the potato chips. Yeah, interesting choice. The thing that most people touch with their hands. Do you want to do the smush? I want you to tell me what you think should happen. I think I should smush it with. Cool. So I gave you a Swiss side and an American or a cheddar side. Ohlala, okay. So it’s kind of like you could eat through Europe or you could just choose what side you want to start on. That’s fun. I like that. Okay. So you didn’t do two on top of each other? Yep. Okay. Mm-hmm. Because I wanted it to be like an experience that you could kind of walk through and compare. Alright. Okay. And there is a, there is a moment of overlap in the very middle. Okay. That’s beautiful. That right there. So there’s a few bites that you can get both. Got it. Okay. Maybe this is all eat hoped for. Okay. Alright. Let’s see. Let’s see, let’s see. I do love chips on a sandwich. Yeah? Mm-hmm. How can you not? What a beautiful treat. Eat it over the plate so the juice drops. Got it. Should have put more sriracha mayo on top. That’s true. Mm. Okay. Is the oil coming through? I’m getting heavy notes of oil. Um, it is somehow very dry. Hmm. I’m getting a lot of… It’s fresh squeezed And that’s true. Um, I’m getting a lot of pesto flavor, which I think is really nice with the tuna. I’m getting almost no capers. No Mayoracha, no pickles, huh. I’m really just getting pesto. It’s such a prominent flavor. Makes sense. I think the bread is delicious. I do think it tastes very good. It is too oily and I wish it was more moist. Huh. Wow. But not greasy. I wish it was more moist, but not, but less greasy. Should have, should have put more of that on it. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta go heavy with it. But good. Could have been so much worse. Okay, and then, so what you’re wanting me to do is take a bite from either side. Yeah. Whether you’re feeling Swiss or, or you know, cheddar. Okay. Lemme do a bite from each side. Hold on. Talk amongst yourselves while I do this. Okay. I think that there’s going to be, um, that rye, just as I smelled it, as I took it out, I was like, that’s a nice complimentary flavor to, to what I’ve done. And I think the sweet relish really seems like it’s gonna balance it all out. I, I don’t think you have to sell it that hard, dude. Yeah. Okay. The cheese difference is almost negligible. Interesting. One moment. I’m absolutely dripping wet. What? What? What? From being horny. No, from the oil and all of these. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Rhett. Yours was very delicious. I will say. Mm-hmm. I think the rye flavor is too, too strong. Prominent. Too strong. I’m not getting enough mustard. I’m not getting enough sweet relish. I’m mostly just getting rye. Yeah. It is strong. Do you wanna test that theory? I do. And I’m gonna do the double bite. Yeah. Let me know what you think. It is a strong rye. It certainly tastes delicious. Don’t get me wrong. Wasn’t the rye you chose? Wasn’t the rye we chose because someone stole it from the office. Um, but it does taste very good. If I made this for my myself at home, I would be very pleased. Right. I still like it, but I agree with you. There’s gotta be something to balance out the rye. Yeah. And it definitely needs more mustard, maybe even more mayonnaise. I dunno. I think it just could have had a little more of everything to like, okay, okay. Umff it up. Um, and I think it could have used more tuna. Which you did have more tuna, but you chose not to put it on. I did. I didn’t wanna overwhelm you, but I now that, that, I see that the rye is just such a strong Jewish rye. Yes. You know? Sure. And it’s a bit boring. What’s boring? It’s a classic. It’s classic. I mean, you, you left the door open, man. It’s very classic. nk. Yours is too oily. I already told you that. I don’t know what else to say. Huh? Can I get a drum roll please? Maybe. The winner– Maybe I’m gonna win anyways. Is….. who thinks they’re gonna win? Me. I think I’m gonna win actually. Me. The winner is Link. I’m sorry. What he did was disgusting and I really wanted him to lose because of how upsetting it was to see. That being said, I think the pesto is really nice. It did end up being a little more flavorful than yours, and I think the crunch of the chip just sealed the deal. I think those two things were wonderful. Um, I have notes on both of them. Rescued by Cape Cod once again. But yeah, Link is the winner this week. I can’t believe I’m saying that. Yep, me neither. I can. I feel sick. Comes natural to me. A new episode of Good Mythical Weekend is coming your way tomorrow morning. Be sure to tune in. I quibble with your opinion that dressage is silly. I find it beautiful. Oh, and can silly things not be beautiful? Wow. Touche. Oh my God, you idiot. So dumb!
