- What price makes us most happy with an appy?
- Let's talk about that.
(wondrous folk music)
Good Mythical Summer.
- Appetizers, they are a tricky beast.
If I come at 'em too hungry,
I inevitably eat too much and I spoil my meal.
- Yeah.
- But if I show restraint,
I feel like the untouched appetizers
are just sitting there staring at me,
mocking me silently.
I mean, when my family mocks me, at least I know it.
It's very obvious.
- Yeah.
- It somehow feels worse
when it's just a feeling coming from appetizers.
- Yeah, okay, I understand that,
but I have a different problem when it comes to appetizers
'cause when I look at an appetizer menu,
I just wanna order everything on it.
- Of course you do.
- Everything looks so good, so bite sized,
but you can't order all the apps.
That would be too expensive.
- No.
- Which brings us to today's question,
how much should we really be paying
for all those appetizers?
Do more dollar signs really mean more enjoyment?
- I just don't wanna get mocked.
It's time for Naked Foods,
Naked Appetizers Edition, naked.
- We're about to try four different appetizers
from four different price points.
- Four.
- The freezer section of a convenience store
or a grocery store.
- Okay.
- Fast casual restaurant, sit down restaurants,
and fine dining restaurants.
- All right.
Each round,
we'll pick our favorite appetizer from the lineup.
Then Stevie's gonna reveal which appetizer
is from which spot and how much it costs.
- Yeah.
- So that by the end,
we'll each know
how much our ideal appetizer budget should be.
- Appy days are here again.
(upbeat orchestral music)
- This is shrimp cocktail.
- And this is a big old shrimp.
- Good gosh, look at that thing.
That shrimp rocks.
- They're just like shooting this thing up with hormones.
- It's been totally detailed.
Like, this is the edible part of the tail.
Like, the shale on the tail is no more.
Good gracious.
It's nice and clean.
- It's been de-veined.
- And the cocktail sauce is also from the establishment?
- Oh yeah.
- [Stevie] Correct.
Shrimp cocktail includes both the shrimp and the cocktail.
- Move yours over so if I go in again,
I know which one it is.
Okay, I'll grab it from there.
Okay, so this one--
- These shrimp, been out in the sun too much.
- They have not been detailed.
- But they're like, oh,
they're firmer and they're whiter.
- That first one really had--
- They got bleached.
- Really had a fishy taste.
Even though the tail's on this one,
it's less seafoody.
- You like this one more than that one?
- I didn't say that.
I just said it's less seafoody.
- I'll always do the one that's not closest.
You can do that, or eat one on that side.
- Okay.
- I don't like that one as much, but this one's too big.
I don't like my shrimp that big
'cause it makes me start thinking
that they might have feelings.
- Now, these are little.
- You know what I'm saying?
A shrimp gets big enough, it gets a brain.
- The tail is.
Oh no, what?
Don't tell me that. - That's about to get a brain.
- Ew, that's not true.
Don't tell me that crap.
- Well, hold on.
You eat like mammals.
They have brains.
Do you not want to think about this?
- Yeah, but I don't want to eat the brain.
You eat all parts of the shrimp.
- That's been frozen.
- Oh, I whistled.
Did you hear that?
Shrimp.
- I don't like any of these.
- I like this one the best.
- I like that one the least.
- And look at this one.
It's very,
it's like, this one looks like it's been bleached.
It's very white, the whiteness.
- The cocktail sauce is overwhelming.
- Whoa!
Wow!
- Yeah, that's too much for me.
- All right, I know which one's my favorite.
This one.
Is that what I'm voting for?
- [Stevie] Yeah.
- Oh.
Like we've never done this before.
I know we typically three, two, one, but--
- I don't particularly like any of 'em,
and I'm not just saying that because they're bigger.
I actually think the taste of the cocktail sauce
and the shrimp on these are the best.
The biggies.
- [Stevie] Okay, Link.
You have chosen our frozen option from Kroger.
- Yeah, that was awful, dude.
- But hey, it's Kroger. - How did you like that?
- It's Kroger. - It's just bland.
- [Stevie] For 2.80.
But Rhett, that's right,
it's time for a fancy pants dance, sir.
- Good to see you again.
- Oh!
(soft piano music) (Link whistling)
- Thank you, Moochelle.
- Moochelle.
Wow, it's always great to see Moochelle,
especially when it's on your dime.
- [Stevie] Well, let me tell you the price difference here
'cause it's quite shocking. - Okay.
- [Stevie] So from Link's like frozen $2.80 version,
yours is from Mastros,
which is Beverly Hills steakhouse for $30.
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 30 for like five, four?
- Locke went there with one of his friends
for a birthday party,
and Doc Rivers was there.
- Really?
Just coaching away.
- Just sitting there eating.
- [Stevie] The next one.
- Box all the shrimp, box all the shrimp!
- [Stevie] The next one over is our,
I'm gesturing with my hand as if you can see me,
is a fast casual from C.O.D slash Cod--
- Cod. - The seafood house for 14.50.
- Pretty good.
- [Stevie] And then the final one with the cocktail sauce.
- The tangy tangy.
- [Stevie] Is our sit down
from Black Angus Steakhouse for 16.19.
- It wasn't bad, but I mean, that sauce was too strong.
- Over the top.
- Can I just take a second?
Listen.
Speaking of Moochelle,
we've worked tirelessly to convince you
that Chase is not Moochelle.
That is this very stupid, absurd conspiracy theory,
But some of you still think we're hiding the truth
about who Moochelle really is.
- In fact, Carrot Playz, we saw your comment.
I'll believe that Chase is not in that cow costume
that you guys call Moochelle
when Chase does a fancy pants dance with Moochelle.
- Well, Carrot Playz,
you don't know who you're playzing with.
Chase, come out here
and prove to all these people that you are not Moochelle.
Hit the music.
(soft piano music)
I mean, that wouldn't be physically possible
if Chase was Moochelle, okay?
Wake up!
(upbeat orchestral music)
These are nachos.
Stevie, I'm sorry that we're eating nachos
and you're just having to watch.
- Stevie loves her nachos.
- Her favorite thing. - I love nachos, man.
- [Rhett] Now, these are from Taco Bell.
I can just look at it and tell.
- These are nacho nachos, Stevie.
We'll save you some.
- [Stevie] I'll pass on that one.
- I mean, they make a pretty good nacho.
You know what I'm saying?
- Yeah, it has to be Taco Bell,
or Taco Bell, as we call it.
- This is Costco or like Dodger's Stadium.
- Look how sad this is,
but there's something about the simplicity of it.
- And a real jalapeno. - Well, you know,
I might like it.
- You know, it's hard to make a bad nacho.
- Mm-hmm.
- Those are good nachos.
- Yeah, it's fun.
- [Stevie] Okay, listen, you don't need to rub it in.
I'm sitting right here.
- All these nachos are so good, Stevie.
- Now, this right hemp.
- This is a pretty nacho. - Good gracious,
the stuff on this thing.
- Oh my goodness.
- Is that a guacamole?
- What is happening there?
I mean, I don't know
if I can even get that in my mouth.
- [Link] Cilantro.
- [Rhett] Hmm.
- The cilantro comes on strong with this one.
- The cilantro is strong with this one.
- Now, over here,
this looks like some sort of enchilada sauce drizzle.
- Oh, it's got a little soft.
- [Link] And then you've got a guacamole packet--
- [Rhett] A little mountain in the middle.
- Very good guacamole.
- Hm.
That's good, but oh my goodness.
Look, they got whole beans, whole beans.
- They got whole beans and what is this?
Oh, that's just a bunch of guacamole.
Hmm.
- I'm ready.
- I gotta go back in here.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- I was tempted to go with Taco Bell
because that beef isn't bad, you know?
- [Stevie] Okay, so Rhett,
you have chosen our sit down place,
Yard House chicken nachos for 14 dollars.
- Yard House does it right, y'all.
- [Stevie] Link, I am honestly,
the place this is from,
every time I go there, I find hair in my food,
so luckily you did not today,
but it is technically our fine dining option,
so please rise for the fancy pants dance.
- Really?
- I'm gonna go back in for those while you're dancing.
(soft piano music)
- [Stevie] I just said I always find hair in my food
and you were like, I gotta go back in for that.
- It's that good.
- [Stevie] It's Casita Del Campo for 21 dollars.
And then yes, the first one's--
- That means house where you camp.
- [Stevie] The first ones are from Taco Bell for 5.29.
- Right!
- [Stevie] And then the others are our like frozenish,
gas station option.
They're from Ampm for 4.29.
- It's not bad.
- Ain't no shame in any price point.
(upbeat orchestral music)
This is spinach and artichoke dip.
- Boy. - Spinach.
- [Rhett] I mean, think about it.
Have you ever ordered this and not been happy?
- It's such a strange dish because you're right
even though like spinach and artichokes, ugh.
I don't care.
It's just, I don't care for it,
but when you add the cheese, that's nice.
And I think the telltale sign here is the chip itself.
We got this like triangulated pita chip.
- I would keep eating that.
- Very rich of a dip.
- I'm not super excited about it.
Now, this is interesting 'cause you've got--
- That dip is good.
- You've got just pieces of bread.
- Oh, and it's like very golden toasted on one side.
- Oh gosh, I got a lot.
- And then, it's very,
the artichoke chunks don't hesitate here.
- The flavor of that dip is exquisite.
- Wow, you're right.
It's creamy.
- [Rhett] How are they getting that flavor out of that?
- And the bread's not bad either.
- The bread's not bad either.
- That's nice.
This is your run of the mill pita chip.
- Yeah.
- Nothing spec here. - No.
- And then this looks like some sort of,
it almost looks coagulated.
- That has a fish food flavor.
Spinach is too strong.
- Oh yeah, bad spinach, ugh!
- Good cheese taste.
So you get the cheese at the beginning of your taste,
which is good,
and then you get followed up with some bad spinach.
- Ooh, that's bad.
Now, what is this?
You think this is Chili's?
- [Rhett] This is tortilla chips, so maybe.
- These aren't exactly Chili's chips.
They're not thin enough.
- That's a good dip, friend.
That's got the great cheese taste
and then no follow up after taste.
- [Link] Wow.
- Hmm!
That's a contender.
- [Stevie] You ready?
- Mm.
- This doesn't look good, but it sure is.
- It's close, but there's a clear winner for me.
- [Stevie] And one.
- Yeah! - Yeah, we gotta go with that.
I mean, it's almost other worldly good.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I didn't know you could do that
with spinach and artichoke dip.
- I love bread.
- This has to be the pricey pricey.
- [Stevie] It's good enough for a three way!
- Yeah.
(soft piano music)
Okay, there we go.
Hey, Chase.
Can you help Moochelle up?
Oh, you're going to the restroom?
Okay.
- [Stevie] Yeah, so that's our fine dining option
from Daily Grill for $20.
- Daily Grill, $20.
- [Stevie] Yep.
The first one is our sit down,
Olive Garden for 11.29.
- Not bad. - Not bad.
- [Stevie] And then the next one over is Target.
- Yeah.
- [Stevie] For a total of 5.13.
And lastly, fast casual,
House of Pies for 9.27.
- Bring some niceness. - Yeah.
- But I never would've thought
that I would be willing to like splurge
on spinach and artichoke dip, but here I am.
- There you go, you did it.
You splurged.
(upbeat orchestral music)
Okay, before we enjoy these crab cakes,
I wanna tell you about something that we have done
that we should have done a long time ago.
You know that Link
and Cotton Candy Randy don't really get along,
and this animosity has really been bothering me personally
as a friend to both of them,
so I decided to do something about it.
I hired a real therapist.
- And he is not kidding.
And we filmed the therapy session.
- Is this relationship sexual in nature
or is this relationship?
- That's a little judgey, Link.
- Why are you laughing at that, man?
- Oh, I've always been afraid to ask.
- I would be lying to you
if I said that when Randy's face is close to mine,
and I don't know if it's Randy or the cotton candy,
or some combination of both of them.
- Okay.
- I'm a little aroused.
- Okay.
- Yeah, after I visit Rhett, my pants get messy.
- Okay.
I want to ask another question.
So Link, is your relationship with Rhett sexual as well?
Do you guys have that component?
- (laughing) Wow.
Can Randy and I work through our issues?
What are our issues?
- Plenty.
- I will tell you I learned a lot
and you're going to like watching our therapy session.
It's legitimate.
Head over to the Mythical Society,
MythicalSociety.com now,
watch couples therapy with Cotton Candy Randy,
me, and Rhett, available for any degree.
I highly recommend it.
- Stevie?
- [Stevie] These are crab cakes.
- These are crab cakes.
- And-- - This could be anything.
- [Link] Yeah, what is this?
- [Rhett] That could be a wheel.
- It's like a puck, a fried hockey puck.
- You don't need a fork for that.
That's like a tater tot.
- I like to order crab cakes.
- It's not bad though, is it?
- At a restaurant.
A lot of breading, a lot of filler.
I don't really taste the crab.
- Yeah, but it's not, I mean--
- I just taste more of the cake.
- It's not what a crab cake could be,
but it's not like bad bad.
- Are you a crab cake orderer?
- Oh yeah.
- Oh see, this one's really got the flaky, flaky.
- [Rhett] I love a crab cake.
- I'm gonna go to the middle.
Woo.
A good crab cake,
it just really grabs you at first with that--
- It really crabs you. - Crabby crab.
Yeah, this is very crab forward.
- I don't like the complimentary spices
that they have gone with on this one.
It's not my fave.
- It's a little sweet.
Now, this one looks very.
- Oh gosh.
- It's high dollar. - Rustic almost.
- Big pieces of crab.
Lots of it.
- That's a different level for me.
- It's very mild too.
- I like it because it's mild. - Mm-hmm.
The crab is the star.
Oh, dang.
And they're so generous with the crab meat here.
- So generous.
- Not a lot of breading.
- We don't know though 'cause if it's really expensive,
maybe they're not that generous.
- Here's another fried puck.
- (sneezing) Maybe I'm allergic to crab.
- Bless you, bless you child.
- Yeah, I'm just gonna eat that puck
like I did the other puck.
- I'm gonna break this one up, show you a little bit.
This is not that impressive.
- Hmm.
That's pretty pucky.
- A lot of bread.
- That's equal to the other puck.
- Ugh, ugh, that's not good.
Yeah.
- Again, I don't think any of them are bad necessarily,
but I mean, this is pretty simple.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- We've got to go here, right?
- Oh gosh.
- This is one of the best crab cakes I've ever had.
- That's a great crab cake.
- [Stevie] Guys.
- I'll pay anything for it.
- [Stevie] Now, listen,
did you, when you came in this morning for this episode.
- Yeah, what did I do?
- [Stevie] Did you consider the shoes you were wearing
and did you consider them to be--
- Yeah. - Dancing shoes?
(soft piano music)
- How did you lose?
- [Rhett] Moochelle lost both of her shoes.
- Both of Chase's, your shoes.
- [Rhett] Both of her shoes.
- [Stevie] So that was our fine dining option
from Boa Steakhouse for $24.
- How many?
- [Stevie] $24.
- Worth every penny.
- [Stevie] The first is our fast casual,
California Poke House for 9.99
- Ew.
- [Stevie] Then we have sit down Crab Avenue for 15.95.
- Crab Avenue is the name of the place?
- [Stevie] Crab Avenue.
And then on the end there, that's our frozen option,
Waterfront Bistro, 1.38 each. - Waterfront, yeah.
Yeah, that thing hasn't seen a waterfront in a long time.
- Crab is something that you get what you pay for.
The more you pay, the more crab you get.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yes, very clear.
- [Stevie] So the lowest possible total was 13.60
and the highest possible was $95.
Rhett, your perfect appetizer meal total was $88.
And Link, your perfect appetizer meal total was 67.80.
- Hey, man.
We were both pretty fancy today.
- Yeah, we get fancier with the apps.
- It's a fancy day.
- Yeah, and it ain't over, man.
Now, what are we gonna do?
- Probably Good Mythical More.
- Oh, okay.
- [Rhett And Link] Thanks for subscribing
and clicking that bell.
You know what time it is.
- Hi.
I'm Anna from Durham, North Carolina,
and it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality!
Whoa!
- Yep. - Yeah.
Kept the sunglasses on.
- Keep the thumbs up no matter what happens.
Click the top link to watch us come up
with the perfect names for phone apps
that don't yet exist in Good Mythical More.
- And to find out
where the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land.
- It may feel hurtful.
Can you?
- No, I love it.
- You love that?
- Call me a dork and punch me in the butt.
- And I, okay,
well, we're not gonna touch body parts today.
We're gonna keep it safe in here.
- Great.
