Can we tell the difference between CVS and Walgreens? Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” Yes, chef. Now, there are stores that kind of do the same thing, CVS and Walgreens. You think you could go into one of those and not see any signage and know whether or not you were in a CVS or a raw Walgreens? I meant to say, “Or Walgreens?” I think so. We’re gonna be doing that with different chains that are kind of similar. And I’ve been told this was inspired by a segment on “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz.” I believe this is a sports podcast. Don’t know this. So I’m sorry if I said anything incorrectly but shout out to you. Sports podcast. Yeah. I don’t know. Okay. Sports podcasts. Sports podcasts like interiors of chains. Sports podcasts are welcome here. Yeah. So who was inspired by it? Somebody listens to that sports podcast? We have sports podcasts listeners on the writer team? I don’t wanna throw anyone under the bus. Well, hey- Do you want me to throw you? Did you not know that some of us are involved in a fantasy football league here at Good Mythical, Mythical. Good Mythical Mythical. I heard rumblings of it. So you’re in it? I am in it. Stevie, are you in it? I’m not. I’ve only heard when people are beating Rhett. That’s all that is reported to me. So at the time of recording- You like, hear it through the door, and then you walk away? It’s just the only thing- At the time of recording, I’m not doing too well. People like to brag about, I guess. But I will say that my whole approach to fantasy football in this league is I am using astrological predictions of which players are supposed to perform the worst that week, and I am only using them. And as we record this, I think I’m in last place, so I think astrology is real. Wow. So you’re trying to say that you purposefully are trying to lose? No, I… The name of my team is Asstrological, A-S-S, it’s a joke. And I specifically went through the roster, and then put all the names according to their birth dates into ChatGPT, and I said, “I want you to rank them according to how badly they will perform on the week in question, and I am only using the players that are ranked at the bottom.” I also don’t know how to play fantasy football, so I think maybe I’m choosing players that have low points or whatever, so maybe it’s not real. Maybe astrology’s not real. Maybe it’s not real. Let’s see the first one. Oh, so this is abandoned. Well, we have photoshopped out- That’s the Walgreens. Any logos and stuff. So those posters actually have things on it. Yeah. That’s a Walgreens. Walgreens does the windows like that. No. Well, I don’t know about that. I don’t know if they exclusively do that because- Oh yeah, I guess I’m supposed to tell you. I mean this is the iconic CVS or Walgreens question but for the next ones, I’ll tell you which ones you’re choosing between but yeah, sorry, go ahead. This is where the carts park. Inside? You park carts inside? I mean, what else could that be? Yes. Yes. It could be just a little place. You park? Timeouts for children that are misbehaving. Go into one of the timeout slots. And all the carts are gone. No, there’s some on the far left. Or that workout where you have to dangle the lower half of your body and use your upper body to crawl down to… You know what I’m saying? Yes. Oh yeah. Dips. Well, I know that those are baskets, but it looks like they will hold an actual cart. They couldn’t hold an actual cart. What? Okay, I’m leaning CVS now, the more I look at it. I know that- You think CVS is more like outta whack? Walgreens and CVS both create some sort of maze in order to check out. But that’s what I thought this was but I’m baffled by this. There’s a lot of floor space right there and a stain. I really think- I think I’m going CVS now. I’ve completely flipped the script. I’m gonna go Walgreens because the windows. So when you flip the script, is it because of the stain? You think Walgreens is a better establishment than CVS? Yes, yeah. Okay, so that’s why you flipped. And I don’t really know that, but it just feels right. It feels that way. It’s a Walgreens. It’s a Wal… So. Means I should have gone with my gut. They keep all their carts inside. Their carts never go outside? I don’t know if they have such strict corporate branding rules as to where the windows are and the the carts are kept. He was shopping. No carts are kept inside of anything that I knew of. Have you ever shopped with a cart? Why? That’s what I was gonna say. I’ve never, at a drug store been like, give me a cart. I need to fill this thing up. A cart full of nasal? I don’t think I’ve ever shopped at a Walgreens with a basket. If it doesn’t fit in my hands, it shouldn’t be in there. That’s the way I feel about it. If I can’t walk out of it with an arm full. Well, now also everything is locked up at CVS and Walgreens. You can’t get in. And then you ring the bell and nobody comes. I know. And then there’s a security person at the front, which is intimidating ’cause I didn’t do anything but why are you there? They only call him to the front for you. No, no. They’re always at the front. The security person doesn’t do anything if people shoplift. Yeah. Oh yeah. Have you seen the videos? I haven’t been present for any shoplifting. Really? Yeah. They’re a deterrent, but they’re not an enforcement. If somebody takes a bunch of stuff out of, according to all the TikTok videos, if someone takes something out of a store, the security guard’s like uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh and then lets ’em go out. That’s my experience. Maybe I should drop my intimidation. Okay, is this a Denny’s or an IHOP? Oh, okay. Don’t say. Don’t say. It’s a dog. It’s a dog. That’s what it is. Now we got Cholula and we got Heinz. Oh my God. That is a dog. We got a dog sitting in the booth. Cholula and Heinz. You just said a Denny’s or IHOP. Is the dog wearing underwear pants? I think he’s wearing a thunder shirt. Yeah. The dog’s wearing pants. On the bottom half of it? Yeah, they do that in some parts of the country. Thunder pants? Yeah, Thunder pants only. That’s a cute dog though. Now, if we knew more about the difference between IHOP and Denny’s, we would know that that glass is specifically from one of the places. Did you go, when we shot at Denny’s, one million years ago- Yeah. Did you go into the back? I heard that y’all did. Mm-hmm. Okay. It was greasy, wasn’t it? No, no, no. It wasn’t greasy. It wasn’t greasy? It was scary. It’s a fine establishment. I will say anytime we’ve shot anywhere that has a commercial, well, I was gonna say commercial kitchen, but a kitchen, any restaurant we’ve ever shot at, it’s just best not to go back there. That’s an IHOP. Why? Because the dog is on the seat. They allow that there. Denny’s. Denny’s is dogs on the floor only. Depending on where you are, you know, they both can be real shady, you know. You see all types of people just hunkered down in a back booth of a IHOP or a Denny’s. I think IHOP has that color of seat and I think Denny’s goes more of a red seat. I think that IHOP has more of a brown seat. I thought IHOP had more yellow, so I’m going with Denny’s. It’s Denny’s. Oh yeah. Okay. Do we know why? Do we? Like do we know why? Do we know why anyone would’ve known that? I don’t think that there is a central in-store color theme for some of these chains. Well, like is it- Because they’ve been built over time? Yeah. On the Reddit, they might say like- They’ve been around so long. Well, they don’t have Cholula at. Can they all make their own choices about what hot sauce it is? Is that your best bet? That’s the case. Because you know they’ve got a contract with different hot sauces. So they got a Cholula contract at Denny’s? ♪ Bacon makes it better ♪ Wow. Remember that? Yes, I do. That’s the song. That’s the song we wrote for Denny’s. Hezediah was a part of that. Old Hot Pocket Hezediah. Hezekiah. That’s what I mean. Well, we know who you’re talking about. Yep, yep, yep. Okay. AMC or Regal. Regal, 100%. There’s not enough red for it to be AMC. That is a Regal. AMC would never. It’s a Regal. Yep. Wait, AMC would never what? Look like that. What? ‘Cause this is old looking or? ‘Cause it’s not an AMC. Okay. I feel like we have to tell this story. Now that it’s happened, I feel like we have to tell the Regal story. I don’t know what you’re about to tell. Is this about the Coke machine that didn’t have a soda you wanted? Yes. Thank you, Carney. We can’t go there again. I’ve told that story. Yeah, have you? Have you told that story? I went to a Regal. I went to a Regal theater in Pasadena and it was just a really, like, not a great experience. I thought I was like- I think he’s about to tell the Coke freestyle story. No, I’m not. And I was just very disappointed in everything about the theater and also with just the stuff that came on the screen before the movie started. Like even the like, the ads, the Regal Ads. And then I talked about this on “Ear Biscuits” extensively for like 25 minutes. It was, I ripped Regal a new one for 25 minutes. I remember you said that the first thing that you saw was an ad to rent out the theater. Rent out the theater. Which is a sad state of affairs. And then- They’re having a hard time. Then… It feels like you still don’t know where I’m going with this story. I don’t. It’s wild that you don’t remember what I’m talking about. Is this a repeat of what you said in those 25 minutes and he still doesn’t know or is this a new- He doesn’t understand what happened. Okay. Which is, I got out of the podcast and then I saw a Slack from Jacob, which when he was talking about the “Wonderhole” premiere and he was like, “Yeah, we’re at locks with Regal, because we did the freaking ‘Wonderhole’ premiere at the Regal in LA.” I remember that. And it was about- Link, do you remember that? Yes. Okay. Welcome back. And so then we had to edit out everything that I said about Regal in the podcast. Oh yeah, because you said they rented- No, because I- They advertised renting out the theater and then we found out that we had done that. And we had done that. I was like, who’s gonna rent out a theater? Like that’s how desperate you are? Just show movies. Meanwhile, like we are doing Regal deal locked. We love you, Regal. And I will say- Are we cutting this too? No, I will say, now, the Regal that we used in downtown LA, like it actually was- Fabulous. It went great. The Regal in Pasadena that I’m also bitter because it used to be the ArcLight and it was wonderful, this fall, it was falling apart when I went and I’m not going back unless they get a Coca-Cola freestyle machine and then I will go back. I will nurse that thing. Listen, they’re still recovering from the pandemic, man. Next. Lookin’ hot. 7-Eleven. High You. Is that what it says? High volume, okay. 7-Eleven or? I kind of don’t wanna… Yeah, just go in the convenience, you know, realm. Oh, it’s AMPM because 7-Eleven wouldn’t do generic stuff like lookin’ hot. AMPM would do that though. What if it’s… What’s that other place called that started popping up back in North Carolina and everybody went in there? Oh. Buc-ee’s? No. Buc-ee’s? That’s the joke, Buc-ee’s. You could order at the- Yeah, I know what you’re talking about. It’s like a Buc-ee’s, but it’s in North Carolina And it’s not Speed. Sheetz? Sheetz! Sheetz. Sheetz went hard on the ordering food while you’re getting your gas. Lookin’ Hot. I don’t think that’s a Sheetz. Now we can look at the… AMPM, the actual logo, the A and the M are different things. Kind of like the O is the flame. I think the A is a rocket ship and the M is a bunch of hot dogs. So I’m saying AMPM. AMPM. You are correct. Was I correct about the hot dogs? Well, let me see. Let me pull it up. I can’t believe that we knew that was an AMPM from just looking at it without even choices. High volume coffee. If you get hot. If you have an AMPM that you go into a lot, you would’ve already known that because you’d be like, oh, I see that lookin’ hot every time I go in there and I see that high voltage and- Toppings. The toppings station. I don’t see. You’re saying in the logo you thought that there was? I don’t think anybody would put a bunch of wieners on their logo. I feel like you’re sitting on a wild goose chase. You’re sitting on a wild wiener chase. Wieners. It’s gonna come up- Let’s put a rocket and a hotdog in our logo. But I was right. Well, you were right it was AMPM. Yes. No, there’s no… The logo just is pretty generic looking. It’s AMPM. Yeah. And the seven in 7-Eleven is an arrow. Yep. Yeah, they look just like that. And the 11 is two parallel wieners. Yeah. Yep. Next one. Okay, this is… Is this in a Lyft or an Uber? If you would like to receive $17,000 in cash with no strings attached, would you be interested? First of all, I love the phrasing of that sentence. If you would like to receive $17,000 in cash with no strings attached, would you be interested? If your answer is yes- What’s about that that’s uncanny that I can’t make out in my mind? It’s got two woulds in it. That’s what it is. If you would like to receive, would you be interested? If your answer is yes, what? Unzip this window? What? Is it Oasser or just Asser? Can we focus? On the logo. If your answer is yes. If your answer is yes. If your answer is yes, then this is an Uber. If your answer is no, it’s a Lyft. I don’t think, well, can you tell me what’s happening? If your answer is yes, what? Reach your hand under the seat? I think if your answer is yes, speak up is probably what’s implied here. If your answer is yes, let’s have a conversation about it. Is your answer yes? If your answer is yes. I’m interested in the $17,000 in cash, driver. Bless you. My answer is yes. I think maybe they turn it around. I think you take it out of the sleeve and turn it around. Do Uber or Lyft have rules against this type of- Yes, probably. And they probably have the same rules so like, I don’t know. I’m gonna say this is a Lyft because it’s in the subreddit called Lyft. Yeah, let’s go with Lyft. I wasn’t gonna say anything ’cause you weren’t even reading that part. Yeah, it’s Lyft. It’s Lyft. Vindicated. Do we know any details? Like what happens if you turn it around? We’ll click around. Yeah, let’s see if we can find it. You’ll click around? In the meantime, I do think you’re gonna get this one nearly right away. American Airlines flight or a Delta Airlines flight? Delta. It feels Delta to me. But there’s no screen. There’s a screen way up there in the front and that’s all. No, there’s screens on almost every one. Every one of ’em has got a screen. Well, then what’s that screen at the very front? You know- Delta. I think I would’ve answered that as well. But it’s American Airlines? It is American Airlines. I think if you look at the- Oh crap. Like you see it’s like an international or as a really large plane, I think that’s why- There’s a bunch of screens. It’s nicer then. Because American Airlines makes you download their app and then and like watch movies on your phone. You’re thinking about United. American does that too? I think they do that. Yeah. Oh boy. I also think that that red piece of luggage subconsciously gave us a red and blue color scheme that would be more Delta. Yeah, that’s what happened to us. And then the red is actually just- We would never have fallen for that. It’s just rogue luggage, y’all. Without that red piece of luggage. Okay, I’m getting reports back that people believe the Lyft message is some kind of like multi-level marketing plug that the Lyft driver’s also a part of. Yep, and so Rhett’s right, They want you to engage. They want you to- Tell me about this $17,000 with no strings attached because that sounds pretty good. Alright, so your answer is yes. Okay, also this is one seat.- Answer is yes. And the other seat says, ask the driver how. Although- Thank you. The orientation of the… Driver? Yeah. It does not matter, Stevie. Right. Does not matter. Excuse me, gay or straight driver? Doesn’t matter if you got $17,000. Okay, let’s end. Yes. Let’s end. Let’s end. I think we can just end. Make the call. You know what? We can make the call. Make the call. Let’s end. Hey, give it to us. Okay, let’s go to the last one. And then say that because it did feel good if you say it. It does feel good when you say let’s end ’cause then we don’t have to think about it. Target or Ross. JCPenney or Macy’s. Who? Okay. This is we’re in old school. Dillard’s. Old school department stores. Old school. This is a JCPenney. Macy’s is actually still pretty nice. Hold on now. What’s not nice about this? I think you’re seeing there’s a little bit more ceiling in the shot and you just don’t ever notice that. I just feel like it feels desperate. There’s just a desperation to it. When you have that many like red tablecloths in the middle of the walkways, there’s nobody walking through. Yeah, and then you got… There’s no like, or there’s no design intention here, you know, and then you’ve got that little other table right there that’s got nothing. It has a little sign that says, if you would like to receive $17,000 of cash with no strings attached, if your answer is yes, pick up one of these name tags that we’ve left on this table. This is a JCPenney, guys. Or a what? Macy’s. Or a Macy’s. Macy’s is nice. JCPenney. Yeah, it’s JCPenney. Okay. Yes, okay. A new episode of “Good Mythical Weekend” is coming your way tomorrow morning. Be sure to tune in. No, what is it? Is this ash? Are these someone’s ashes? Yes, ash is black. Your mouth is black. It is black. You said one.
