We're trying the new nuggets from McDonald's and Burger King Welcome to Good Mythical More. There's some new nuggets on the prowl. And these have been released right around the same time. They're not necessarily in direct competition with one another, 'cause they're not trying to do exactly the same things. Because from McDonald's we've got the spicy chicken nuggets- Mm-hmm uh, that were introduced in 2021, but they're bringing them back and they've got this mighty hot sauce. And then Burger King, this is a completely new recipe of, I think this is just their new nuggets. Is that? It's not like a new type of nugget, but it's like Bur- Burger King will, like, reinvent their nuggets every once in a while. People are complaining about them being, their nuggets being rubbery, dry and disappointing, and they went back and rethink, rethought every element of the nuggets. Okay. After extensive recipe development and guest testing, Burger King is introducing new nuggets made with 100% white meat chicken, crispier golden breading and a more flavorful marinade for a juicier bite and upgraded packaging, now served in a box. So they used to not be served in a box, so they've, they're- They were served in, like, a little, um… Let- let's start with the Burger King ones because the M- McDonald's ones are spicy. Spicy, and it may influence our palates. So we've got a special savory sauce, hyuh, for these. It's just called Special Savory? Says it right there, Special Savory- Well, that could be so many things … sauce. That could be s- oh, but you know what? I'm gonna tell you. It looks like- Well, it looks like- You know what sauce … it looks creamy, tangy, with hints of barbecue seasoning, ketchup, garlic, onion and black pepper. You think it looks like Chick-fil-A sauce? No. You think it looks like In-N-Out sauce? No. You think it looks like- Raisin Canes. Oh. Exactly. Yeah, I'm just, I'm not as familiar with… Yeah, but you're right, the Cane's sauce. It is not Raising Canes. Okay. It's not as good, but, oh, it is good though. Mm. Interesting. Mm. It's very pungent It's very black peppery. I like it. And a little Worcestershire. We should talk about what happened at the party we went to. W- when this is done, we're g- w- 'cause I wanna hear w- your perspective on what happened. We're- No you don't. We're … Oh, really? We're both at the same party, and something mind-blowing happened to me. I just couldn't contain myself. Let's do it. I didn't expect it. We'll talk about that The second bite I'm gonna eat without the sauce just to see the nugget. Now you know we've been in Burger King commercials The reason why is because we were honest. We c- we, we were honest about Burger King stuff. So to their credit, they came through and said, "We're trying to improve stuff. We wanna have you guys in the commercial." And we said, "Yeah, but that doesn't mean that we're gonna tell you these are great." They're, what, uh, what'd I say they were? They're not a sponsor currently. They are incredibly nuggety. But I'm gonna tell you right now, they're great. Um- Anyway … they, it's like they, I don't remember what they were like before. I know Burger King has done, like, the chicken finger type things. They were, there were cr- Crowns at one point. Mm-hmm. This is sort of a, like, a return to traditional nuggetry. And, uh- Nu- you like that? I do. You like it when you hear yourself say nuggetry? Yeah, yeah. I crack myself up. And- Nuggetry. I mean, that's a slogan and, and also, it is 100% white meat- We've upped our nuggetry … but it's not like, it's not a tender. There's, th- this, this chicken has been processed to some degree. That's okay. But I think that's kind of- I actually prefer that … what you want in a nugget. Yep, in a nugget that's what I want. In a finger- It's not a strip I don't want a, I don't want a particle, particulated strip, but I do want a particulated nugget. And the sauces is really good. They're crispy. Mm. I don't think there's anything to complain about I gotta be in a nugget mood to get nuggets. I thought you were always in a nuggety mood. I thought you were always feeling a little nuggety. I went through a nugget phase in my 30s, 20, late 20s, 30s. It, that happens, you know? I'm- It's a human thing. I'm more of a sandwich man at, at this point in my life, you know? Let's try the, uh, this bite. This, this has our approval. Now, I had this sauce because I stopped by- Mighty hot sauce … Mickey D's for a couple of… I'll do this every once in a while. If I had to get up too early to, and I wasn't able to make my smoothie, and I'm coming into work and I'm still hungry, I'll stop by the Mickey D's and I'll get two sausage burritos. I don't get the McGriddles because that makes me feel like I'm just, I've thrown caution to the wind. Yeah, bad, bad, bad boy. But the, the sausage burritos feels like it's, th- you can still have, there's still some responsibility in your life. Yeah. And I love that salsa. I got up there, I order 'em. S- hot sauce. The salsa. Salsa. I will get to why I'm g- talking about this in a moment. Okay. Salsa. The salsa that comes with the sausage and egg burritos. I got up there and they're like, "We're out of the salsa." So I tried to put it in reverse. I was, people were behind me, I was stuck, I didn't know what to do, I was trapped. Mm-mm. And I said, "Well can you give me anything?" And they said, "We've got this new mighty hot sauce. We'll give you that." Can you give me anything? So I dipped my… I'm familiar with this sauce 'cause I dip burritos in it. Okay. I'm- And I gotta say, it's not as good as the salsa for burritos. Breaded in a spicy and crispy coating, flavorfulls- flavorfully spiced with a blend of aged cayenne and chili pepper. This one's pretty dry. This one's so dry. It's thin too. Look how thin it is. Yeah. Let's get a side by side here. Look how thin this one is Again, that's not the point of this exercise Hmm. I mean, these are relatively fresh You think so. You don't know. He doesn't know. I mean, they're not from yesterday, are they? Well… I just don't want… I'm about to dog them so hard. I just need to know if they're from, if these are from yesterday. Do we know? Why are they so, why are they so thin? Because a chicken nugget- They're so thin. Like, a McNugget isn't this thin, is it? They're spicy. A McNugget is not this thin. The flavor's good It's r- they're really hot. It is very spicy. Yeah, we film this show early in the morning. Sometimes McDonald's aren't up, the fryers aren't running yet. Okay. It's possible. So it's from yesterday. Who knows? Who knows? Not Blaine. Do you want an answer to that question? Okay. Uh- So let's say that these have been reheated. The sauce is g- what, they, they wouldn't get thin, though. But, but, but why would it get shr- why would they shrink that much? And even if they shrunk some, they wouldn't shrink that much. But you s- I like the flavors … are the burger, are the Burger King ones from yesterday m- too? They are. Do you want an answer? The answer was yes. Well, they held up. So we are comparing apples to apples. These are too hot. The spice builds, and give it to them, when they say it's spicy, it is. But- Yeah … but you gotta eat them real fresh. But Burger King- They're juicy … you can wait un- till the next day and eat them. They're still juicy. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. Well- K- kind of like what I saw at that party. Oh, God. Go ahead and tell your story. Oop. So this is our friend's, uh, 50th. That's a big one which makes me feel old We, we were planning it for, it w- I mean, we were, it was on our calendar for months, and then a few days before we have to go, or we get to go, Christy decides she needs to go home. Now, these are close friends of ours and, and yours. Mm-hmm. Um, the, the guy is t- turning 50, but the couple we've known for as long as we've been in LA, you know, so li- long-time friends. Christy was super bummed she had to miss it. She had to go home and, like, take care of her parents, um, 'cause there was some medical stuff going on there. She's still not back yet. She gets back tomorrow night. What if she never comes back? She'll come back. Okay. Good, good. Um, anyway, so Christy didn't get to go to the party with me, and so I'm like, "Hey, can I ride with y'all?" Right. So then you and Jessie come pick me up. We go to the party. Um, and then, I mean, a, a lot of fun things happening at the party, uh, including DJ, dancing, ice cream, cake. Roving magician. R- roving close-up magician, which I avoided. The first thing he did, we were the first people that he started doing magic to. I was the first person he asked to be a volunteer. You were the first. I was like, "No, no, no, no. Not me." No, you were the first in our group, but he had, he- Okay, good … he had been going around, just so you know. I was like, "No, no, no. You don't want, you d- you don't want this." And I told him, "Yeah, yeah, you don't want him." Yeah, so I backed away. And then when they were doing the … The party kinda spilled outside because the dance was happening inside, so people were going outside and I was one of the first- Pretty loud to be outside, and I was talking to, uh, a couple that I was catching up with, hadn't seen in a while. And the magician came out, and he was over here, and so he was gathering a crowd, and then I was like, "You know what? I, maybe I can gather a crowd, too." Yeah. "I can gather the anti-magician crowd." You can, yeah, you can compete a little bit. So I stayed over here and I talked to them. I didn't get, I didn't get pulled into that. But I'm looking, when I'm talking to the guy I'm talking to, I'm looking past him, I'm seeing a group of people, and that's, well, that's when I spotted her. But I'll leave it at that for now because the n- … some things happened, but I'm curious about what happened from your perspective. Okay. Well, I was in another conversation. I'd gone outside because it was so loud. I was not able to hear people talking inside. Okay. And I, you know, this is a 50th birthday party. Let's, let's just have some light piano music. Come on, dude. I mean, my, my- Light piano music … my, I've thought about this. My 50th birthday is next year, and I'm going to have a big party, but I think there's gonna be light piano. 'Cause I just want people to be talking. I mean, like- Like a jazz bar? I think maybe at some point he'll pick it up and maybe do a little ragtime so people can dance a little bit. A little Char- people, you want people to do the Charleston? Yes. Um, so I'm talking to a couple that, uh … Well, it's always fun when somebody says, "We we- we had dinner together." And you're like Don't remember you. But then they explained it was, it was when we were on tour and we went through Portland, and we saw our friends whose birthday party it was. They were there, and they brought this couple, and we all ate together. So, I was like, "Oh," it was just one of those things that it was, like, a few layers. Oh, I didn't remember that. Yeah. And then I s- started putting it together. But we were catching up and talking about a lot of things, talking about our kids and similar age and different, you know, places in life or whatever. And then, like, all of a sudden, this man, my friend, comes up and he's like, without He just comes into the middle of the group of people talking. He's like, "Hey, hey. Uh, you gotta come over here. I gotta show you something." And then, and then you realize that you were getting me to leave, and then you just told the other people, "Y'all too. You can come too." I didn't know him, but I realize that I kind of busted up your conversation. And so I was like, "Okay." Uh, so we all walked over there. Now, the first thing, I don't know if you noticed this, but when I got over there and you started telling me what you were gonna tell me, the first thing I noticed, now, we're out on the street. This is a str- just this is, like, the street and the sidewalk outside of this venue, so we're, like, in a city area. Yeah. And your fanny pack is just on the ground. On the sidewalk, just on the ground. Like, you had left it and then gone, and just, like, you're … It's just on the ground. For the most- Like, your, the, your, all your valuables, your ID, ev- Probably … It's just on the ground. I was like, "His-" Well, you know, I, Christy wasn't there. I thought the whole point of having this thing is to have your stuff with you, and you've got it on the sidewalk outside in a city, just on the ground. For most of the time, I was standing beside it. What- Until I came to get you. Why don't you just wear it? It didn't, it didn't really go with my outfit. Well, you're gonna have to start getting purses, man. I know. Yeah. I need to start collecting purses that go with my outfits. Uh, and so then- Good idea … that's when he's like, "Look at that woman over there." Look at her. And, uh, I mean, you've said that before, but we were probably 20. Unmarried. I mean, um- I couldn't believe it. You look at, look at that woman over there. And so I looked, and I will say, as soon as you told me to look, I knew why you were telling me to look. Okay. But j- I didn't get the reaction from you that I wanted, which was like, "Good gosh, I can't believe it. This is uncanny." It was At certain angles it was uncanny. Right. And I showed you a picture, right? Well, you t- we're taking multiple pictures. He's standing there taking pictures of this woman. Well- And, and then I was like, "Listen, you gotta stand, you gotta stand over here and look at this woman." Yeah. She was talking to somebody. And meanwhile, the other people- She was kind facing away. She was looking that way … the other people have come over here with me. Just for him to be like, "Look at that woman." He's like taking pictures of her. And I've got these people with me. Because, because I couldn't control how, the angle with which he was seeing the woman. I wanted to show him the, the proper angle to really take this woman in. And this woman was also at the party, just so you understand. A party that didn't have that many people. It's just another woman at this party. So I started showing you the pictures that I'd taken. Which we're not gonna show, because we have not received this woman's permission. No, at any point. And, um- We never interacted with her … I was like, "It's Christy. It's my wife. This is her. My, she's at the party. She's not in North Carolina. She's right there. She's right there." As long as she looks away and I, like, get the hair. Her hair was exactly the same. Her height was exactly the same. Her style was very similar. Yeah. And then her, this part of her nose- That would stick out right past her hair … that would stick out if, like, when she, like, when I got, when I got the right angle, like, if I took pictures between the two couple, the couple I was talking to- … it didn't look like her. But then if I started going behind, if I took my camera behind the woman I was talking to, then I got the right angle, where it was just the right amount of nose popping out from the hair. But let me tell you how this came across. And it was exactly- Let me tell you how this came across … it was doppelgang 100%. Just from the per- perspective of the person that was, the people that were with me, is you go over there and there's a man taking pictures of a woman. And literally, this is what he's saying, "That's my wife!" I couldn't believe it. Look at her. Look at her. That's my wife. It's like one of those guys that thinks he just spots his wife and is like, "I'm gonna marry that woman." You know? It's like … And it- And I was just like, "I don't have any explanation for this." I wasn't gonna try to translate it for the people that were with me. It, it was … And then I was texting, I texted it to the family. I picked the right photo and I texted it to my family group chat. Oh, I saw the, I saw how Lily responded. And then, um, I, I just sent the picture. I was like, "Can you believe this?" And it was wide, it was a wide shot of the people I was talking to and then their mom standing back there. And then they wrote back, "Dad a little tipsy?" Yeah. I, I j- I just saw, "Dad, are you drunk?" Yeah. And then- … the k- they, they started … Yeah, they thought I was drunk. And I was like, "Zoom in on the woman." And, uh- And then they were like, "Yeah" … it didn't get any better from that- Yeah … from there. And then I, so then I just, I started going- I didn't get from you what I wanted, didn't get from my family what I want, so I was just started going up to other people. Well, Jessie said, when, when you told Jessie about it, she said, "That's so sweet that you miss her so bad that you're just seeing her everywhere." Hallucinating her- It's like- … in all places. Yeah. So I'm, like, going up to other people that I know or kinda know, and I'm like, "Y- you know what my wife looks like, right? She's here. Can you believe this?" And everybody's like, "Well, yeah." And then I, I'm just no one's giving me what I want, which is, "I care, bro. Like, this. This is what I wanted." Well, but it, b- but just to be clear, it just didn't, that wasn't warranted. And then what I started to realize- It wasn't warranted … was I'm getting awfully close to having an interaction with this woman. Yeah. This is not gonna … I do not know her. Yeah, that would- I don't know who she's with. I don't know anything about her. That would have been wild. But, and when she looks right at me, it's definitely not my wife. Right. Like, from the front, she looks nothing like Christy. It's just, like, this part of her nose from the side and the hair looks exactly like her. But I realize if some- I was like, "Don't introduce me to her." I star- I started having to say that when I was talking to people. I was like, "Can you believe this woman looks exactly like my… Well, you wanna… Oh, that's so…" "Oh, don't introduce me to her." Yeah, I- Because I realized- I don't wanna talk to her. I just wanna talk about her if I, if I met her, then I would be saying to her what I was saying to everybody else, "You look just like my wife from a certain angle." Who's still alive and actually just in another state right now And then be like, "Look, you look just like my wife from this angle." And then I would, like, show her the picture of herself that I took. Yeah. And then I would be like- I'm, I'm glad for your sake that that didn't happen … not so much from this angle or this angle or this angle or this angle. I, I mean, I took 23 pictures of the woman. And I was like, if I meet her, I will show her all 23 pictures, and this will not end well. And to my credit- Oh, you Hold on. Yeah. Somehow after all that you just said- To my credit … you're about to say, "To my credit"? To my credit- Uh-huh … I did not meet this woman. How did you get there? I did not have an awkward interaction- We're, we don't need to be crediting you for anything … with my wife's doppelganger. Yeah. You know what? I'm, I'm growing. Well, maybe next time, just a, and maybe to set a little bit of a higher standard for your growth, um, the next time you see that, you can be like, "Oh." And this is all inside your head. "Oh, she kinda looks like Christy from this angle." And then just move on. Like, don't break out the camera. Don't interrupt other people's conversations and bring strangers into it. Uh, just have these thoughts in your head. I mean, maybe it would be enjoyable. It's crazy. I mean, look I mean, look You know what my wife… You d- you don't know what my wife wants. Blaine's like, "I'll do it, but I don't know." But not so- We're not showing you the picture See, and, and here's a picture, here's a picture of a blurry… That's, that's the woman I was talking to, and she's blurry because my camera's moving past her, taking pictures at everybo- everybody else. Yeah, yeah. Okay. It's just… It, look, I mean, look at this. Look at this, Jenna. Come, come back here. Give me what I need. I know, I know. I was like, "You just need someone to be really excited." All right. So this is the guy I'm talking to. Uh-huh. He's blurry. I, I mean, I'm talking to this guy out of the corner of my eye. Look. And then if you zoom in, look. Oh my God, that's Christy. I can't believe it. I, I- I thought she was in North Carolina. See? Oh my God, believe it. And look, I mean… But not so much. See, where are the other pictures? Yeah, where are the other? There's plenty. Yeah, the, the… We need the just the nose and the hair, right? That was a little too much. See, that one doesn't look like her. Something about the, the up- That's not quite your… No. The up- upper lip. Yeah, that's not quite Christy. Yeah, that's not her. That's, and that's the- How many pictures of this woman have you taken? I'm gonna need you to l- delete all these photos. Wait, I feel, I feel so bad for the people that you're talking to who are in the foreground of all these pictures. Here's like… It's like… Oh, and look at this. Here's a- What does that even have to do with anything? Why are you showing me this milk? I, I wanna show… Here's a bottle of chocolate milk. I t- took a picture of that, too. So if you feel like you need a picture of something from me, here it is, chocolate milk. Trick or treat yourself with the new Mythical Halloween collection now at mythical.com
