We're trying McDonald's biggest burger ever. Welcome to Good Mythical More. You saw this on the McDonald's menu and the first thing you thought was, should I eat this myself? And then the second thing you thought was, are Rhett and Link gonna eat this? Thank you for thinking that. And uh, yes, we are going to eat it for you in case you have not yet. Of course, this is McDonald's newest product. I'm really excited to eat this product. I see where you're going. Um, it. I'm sure you've seen this. CEO eat the product as he called it. And uh, everyone was picking apart. Well he took a very tiny bite. I mean it was very, one of those things that, and then it kind of started a little bit of a CEO off. Yep. Good. Other CEOs taking big bites of burgers. It's a big burger. So as you show that off, good god. I'll describe what we've got going on here, Link. We got two quarter pound beef patties, so you got two of those patties that you would otherwise have one on that quarter pounder with cheese. Three slices. Three slices of white cheddar cheese. Yeah, look at all that white shadow. We got crispy and sliver onions, two types of onions. We got pickles, we got lettuce. Yes. And then big arch sauce. It's orange. Orange. And then they went crazy. They said it couldn't be done. They put two types of seeds on one bun, two seeds, one bun, black seeds and white seeds. This is. This is really bringing it together. We got toasted sesame and poppy seed buns. Don't take a drug test. This thing is 1020 calories. Mm-hmm. Okay. So it, it, it's the, again, the biggest item that has ever been on the McDonald's menu. Now you can do like the triple quarter pounder with cheese, and I think you can, you can get but in the official item. This thing is heavy. It's a heavy burger. It, I mean. This is door stop. Wait. Now let's take the bite that the CEO should have taken. Yeah, we're pros. Get that signature McDonald's beefy taste, which is, hmm. A little strange. To get this much meat at a McDonald's at once. It's Big Mac adjacent in taste, which I kinda like the, the, the orange sauce. What is that? Yeah, suck it off. It's very, very sweet. It's not, it's not the best dude. Hmm. I think. It is almost the same as Big Mac sauce. I mean, it's very close to Big Mac sauce. I think they could have put the Big Mac sauce on it. It's sweeter and more, um, tangy. It's just more, I'm not complaining about it, but I do agree that like, I don't know if I'm gonna go to McDonald's and get. Um, a burger. I'm probably gonna, I, I'd almost rather get the two cheeseburgers meal than to get one burger this big. It's not coming together. Uh, well it's, there's so much cheese and it's not a problem. Kind of saucy. It's such a saucy burger. Again, that's a positive for me. It's a, that's good for a burger in general, but when I'm going to McDonald's, I'm like. You want it to be clean and neat. I want it to be contained. You don't wanna make a mess. Self-contained. Yeah, because that's where you do your date nights. Huh? You don't want a messy date night. At least not at first. Too much meat. The meat doesn't taste good enough to be doubled. I just, well, you, you don't get to be CEO, I'll tell you that right now. No, I'm not, I'm not applying for that position. 'cause every decision you make, like impacts global economies for like every ingredient because they we're gonna put two times the sesame seed on this. Well, you just, you just misbalance the entire seed economy. Oh, you wanna put three slices of cheese? Well, you've just tipped, tipped the scales for. Dairy. The dairy world. Yeah. Is it? They're running around like crazy now. Isn't McDonald's the number one buyer of eggs or something like that? Everything like that. Yeah. You do have a point there. Link. I would not wanna be the CEO. And then you, it tasted though, I think it's your product on camera and everybody just rips you a no. Well that was his own fault. Mm-hmm. Oh, uh, the big arch sauce is a perfect balance of mustard, pickle, and sweet tomato flavors. Is what this says. And again, the thousand islandish sauce on the Big Mac is basically mustard and, uh, tomato together and or mustard and ketchup together with in that little pic. It's basically, it's the same stuff. I'm telling you. It's very close. Looks like McDonald's is the largest purchaser of ground beef, potatoes, and pork. Okay. Not eggs, pork. Wow. Also, I have a little game that we can play while you're continuing to taste this, uh, saucy and meaty product. Sure. But you know what, before we get it, tell me the premise of the game and then I'm gonna give a final thought on this. Okay. So the premise of the game is that a lot of companies, these big, fast food companies, will have a company ethos submission statement that's internal, that's a CEO can say to the employees. Yep. And it just helps rally their troops. We sell product. So I'm gonna give you the company ethos. And then I want you to guess what the company is. What fast food company specifically. Okay. Oh, fast food. Final word on this. Are you saying yes to the big arch? I feel like I am equipped to give the big man's opinion on this. A man who likes to eat a lot, likes things in excess, likes a lot of cheese, a lot of sauce, a lot of seeds, uhhuh, and a lot of meat. These are not things you will hear me complain about. So. I'm gonna say that if you're in the mood for, for all those things, I think that this maintains the McDonald's, uh, flavor profile with a slight interest, a new, slight interest. And I think it's worth you trying if you're, I would say if, if you're over six feet and over 200 pounds, go for it. Okay. And if you're not, I would say order a Big Mac. Remove the middle bun, ask them to do it. I've never done that, but that's what I'm gonna do next time I go to McDonald. You'd be surprised at how small the Big Mac is compared to this. If you took a Big Mac and set it on top of this, it would just look like a little, especially if you remove the the middle bun, you know that extra piece of bread that you don't need. It's like I was talking about with Jersey Mikes. They make it where you can just easily remove the bottom yourself. You can't do that with a Big Mac. You have to ask them to do it. I do appreciate they didn't put a piece of bread in this. Give us a slogan. I feel like packaging here, they like, they're so impressed with their double seeds that they put that on the packaging. Oh yeah. Got ahead of seeds. All right. Give us the first, um, slogan. Okay. Be people first. Be fan led, be fearless, be different. Be, be, be, be. Be. Yep. Be be B for burger. Be be B for Burger King. Burger, Bing. I think it's be be fan led. Burger King is doing something. Um, where the fans in the campaign. Yeah. They did a fan campaign. Uh, yeah, I was thinking Burger King and that actually that commercial with their CEO. It was a really good commercial. I saw, I saw it recently while watching something. I can't remember the king. Yeah, they talked about how they're getting rid of the king. They made fun of the king in the commercial. The, the king is coming out of like a Burger King, and they're like, we got rid of this guy. And he's like sitting alone like sad because he was too creepy. Because you are the king is what they said. Oh, this is, we're saying this is Burger King. That is wrong. Ooh. Okay. Give us the, uh, different things that they're supposed to be. Again, be people first. People first. People first. Fan led, fearless. Different. Different. Okay. Be different. Who's different? Taco Bell's different. And Jack in the Box is different. Yeah. Taco Bell thinks outside the bun. Um, yeah, but that's not the internal slogan. No, I'm just, yeah. It leans into their difference. Oh, and Jack in the Box is different. So is Arby's different? Who's the most different? Sonic, I mean, what. Your own for Sonic? Yeah, it's Taco Bell. Ah, Taco Bell's internal. Be fan led. Uh, speaking of fan led, if you, uh, you need to check out the New Mythical Society, it's where Mythical beasts gather and experience access to us that you can't get anywhere else. Uh, we're doing a lot of vlogs over there that, um, it's an outpouring of us. Living and loving our lives. Live. Laugh, love your life. Talk. That's what, that's what our slogan here internally at Mythical is. Mm-hmm. MythicalSociety.com. Okay, here's another one. Making Delicious Feel Good. Moments Easy for everyone, making delicious Feel good. Moments easy for everyone. I think this is McDonald's. Feel good moments. Hmm. When I was little, I, I mean, I would have, I had a birthday at McDonald's. I felt good. Well, actually, I felt nauseous because my mom blindfolded me. Yeah. And drove me there. So I didn't feel great at my party. Which she's like, surprise, you're at McDonald's. And I'm like, right. Yeah, that's a very linked story. Um, is there any part of it that could help us or is this just corporate gobbledy gook? Eh, this one feels a little more gobbledygook to me. Yeah, this could be anything because you think when somebody make delicious good's, a piece you a fast food. It's a moment. I mean, yeah, technically, but so is the, when people die, you know what I'm saying? Like every, everything's a moment, but, well, it's a feelgood moment. Well, if you don't like the person, where, do you feel good? Was it so easy to feel good here? I'm having a moment. I can give you a hint. Maybe like tie it to an external slogan. Good. I'm feeling it. McDonald's feeling. When you feel good, like what's another emotion that you feel? I'm loving it. I'm loving it. I McDonald's. Yeah. Vivacious. It's McDonald's vivacious. I don't know what fast food has it. It's McDonald's. Yep. They do make it easy for everyone. I, I guess McDonald's immediately. You did, but you didn't lock it in and then Red didn't have a thought then. So I wanted You had to celebrate, participate, had to chase. Did you know that Feel good, had a hyphen? I celebrate. Mm-hmm. Yep. If it's an adjective, yeah, feel good. If it's a, if it's a command, it doesn't have a, it's a good word. All right. I feel like you can get this one. We believe in quality inside and out. Wendy's. Wendy's pushes quality so hard inside and out. We don't, we don't cut corners. That's something else they say 'cause their burgers are sh are squares. I think a link is on the right track here. I'm gonna go in agreement with Lisa locked in. Yeah, it's Wendy's. Yes. I'm trying to make you think it was in and out. Could have just celebrated inside and out. You know, it could be in and out, but it's not. It's Wendy's. What do they mean inside and out? Do they mean like inside the Wendy's or inside of the employees? Wendy believe that you should also be a good person. Did you remember Dave? Remember Dave Thomas? Well, I never personally met him. He made his daughter work. Yeah. Long hours. Many. I heard. He was actually a horrible person. I'm just kidding. I heard. Didn't hear anything, lawyers. I didn't hear anything about him. We like built a Wendy's in the, I think it was like the Rose Bowl parking lot. Yeah. We did that music video for that Honest tea commercial that we made. Uhhuh. Yeah. In And if you went inside it, there was nothing in there. It was a facade. They, we believed in quality. Jake building outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was nothing inside except more of the Rose Bowl parking lot. Okay. Challenges defying the dull. This is Jack in the box. This is just like posted in your like cubicle hallways. You really believing in this? Boy? I come to work every day and I'm defying the dull. What'd you do today, honey? I defied the dull. Yeah, I think Jack in the Box is a really good guess. We're locked in for Jack. It is not Jack. This is one of those restaurants, fast food restaurants that I've only really ever seen. Um, in between places, like on a road trip, you stop Cracker Barrel by Cracker Barrel. What'd you say? Cracker Barrel. Not Cracker Barrel. It's also one of those ones that has, um, a regional name. Cracker Barrel will be like rolling in the dull roll, rolling in the dull. It's got a regional name defying the dull, like it's different in different places. Like Hardy's and Carls Jr. Like that, but not that. But not that I'm not locked in. Who else defines the dull? Who's got different names in different places besides Hardy's and Carls Jr. Uh, well, I know McDonald's is McDonald's on the East coast. I do know that. Defining the defy the dull. Are you sure it's not defying the bowl? Are you reading it? Right? Is this a, is this a, is this a chicken restaurant? Because that would, that would make sense. I have confirmed it is defying the dull. Okay. Define the bowl. I, first of all, can I just give some feedback on this? I don't think that your slogan should start with the thing that you aren't. Yeah. Just as a general rule, right? Mm. It's like don't tell people what you're not gonna give 'em. Yeah. Be the thing that you are, don't not be the thing that you aren't exciting, not dull. How about that Sonic? Did you say that already? Oh yeah. I'm gonna say Sonic again. It's very sonic adjacent in my, in my brain. I mean, that's just 'cause they don't really have many in this area of la. But also I feel like the way you're served your food, the way you order your food. Uh, curbside feel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Curbside. Where's a curbside besides Sonic? The Tasty freeze? Uh, the, the, I don't know, kind of wax paper that you get, um, is reminiscent of our floor. Checkers. Yeah. Or rallies. Shack or what? Rallies. Rallies. Oh. Have we determined that it's any good? Are we? Didn't we have it on here? We did have it. We determined it was fine. I think, I don't remember though. I'm just saying very mid memory in my mind. All right, hit us. Okay. The food is the franchise. Oh, okay. This is one, the food is the franchise. This is one that's about the franchise, but the people don't matter. This is one that's about the whole franchise of it all. And if it was Subway, they wouldn't say the food. The food is the franchise. Well, subway likes to think that the, their food is good. You know, you think you have to believe that. I mean, they're highly franchised. If you're a part of a of a movement, you have to believe that it's a good movement or else you wouldn't be part of the movement. I think it might be Chipotle, someone who thinks they're above the food, a franchise, the franchise. I mean, what are they combating here? What do we think the franchise is? Well, one thing I will say is this. I think this is the most specific and orienting slogan so far. It's all about the food. Remember, the food's, the franchise, the boss man said it. You know, the food is the franchise. We don't forget that. Not about the uniforms. You see. It's something that everything's boring except for the food, which again, it's not about the fans. Brings me back to Chipotle. Everything's boring. Except the food. It's not about the portfolios. It's not about being fair. They try to avoid that. Boringness, they have tried hard to put out memorable commercials over the years. Huh? Carls Jr. Carls Jr. Yeah. Carls Jr. The food is the franchise. Alright. I'm not buying it at Carl's Jr. The food is the franchise and our iconic products speak for themselves. All right. The, uh, this next one is feed the power of possible feed. The power of Possible. It's, it is so ridiculous. I don't like this. This is such a bad, this is just so corporate, like, and I know how it is, man. Feed the Power of Us. They got up there in front of everybody. There was a. PowerPoint presentation. And that was why they came up with power. They're, I did this in PowerPoint. Power, power, power. That's good. Yeah. Yeah. You feed people, eat this program PowerPoint is so powerful. Power on the mind. I don't know what it's gonna be. I don't know what's possible, but hold on. Power of possible. And what do we do? Also, they, this isn't necessarily just their ethos, it's also their stewardship vision. Well, I knew that stewardship vision you didn't have say that. Keep power possible. Hmm. Um, this is, if you go into one of those stores and it's the opposite of the last one, where it was about the food. This one is about the people. Like you'll go into the restaurant and they'll have like employee of the month pictures. Yep. I know Chick-fil-A really pushes their employees of the month. You remember we did, uh, the employee of the month here at Mythical, and then everyone made fun of their picture and we had to cancel it. Yes. I just made that up. I just made it up. I mean, we have a Mii award. We give away a Mii award. Yeah, we do. We do. And no one makes fun of anybody. It doesn't happen. That's not how this place works. Feed the power. What's the power of possible? Do y'all want your pictures up? Feed the poss. It seems kind of the power of possible you that our website when there were like under 40 of us, right? But do you want your picture of when you win a Missy? No. Getting a resounding no, no. Hitch is like, yeah, I was, I got a good picture on picture day. I hated my picture. Day picture is, is this, it was my fault. I was having a bad face day. I'm 48. I woke up and looked it, it was early. Sometimes it happens. Is this a chicken place? Uh, no it's not a chicken place. The, um, says, fulfilling this vision requires focusing on those efforts that are most important to our business and stakeholders. We have four pillars of stewardship that guide our work, and I can give you what those four pillars are that can help you. Sure. Oh, that'll do it. Okay. Burgers first one is planet. Hmm. The second one is people. Third is pizza, and fourth is governance. Uh, Domino's Governance. What's governance that got you? Feed the power of possible with dominoes. It's dominoes. It's Domino's. Yeah. Yeah. 'cause I, I don't even know what governs Well, the fact that they started with planet, I don't know. I don't know that much. But I did think that, I heard that, uh, Domino's was trying to do some, uh, you know, making some choices that were more mentally conscious at one point. We approve of that and we approve of you eating the power of possible today. You think we just live behind this desk? We have lives. Complex, sophisticated lives. Oh. Okay. You see?
