- What's the perfect cost
of the perfect sandwich? (upbeat music)
- Let's talk about that.
- "Good Mythical Morning".
- Now, as a mature adult and father, which I am,
there are things that I take seriously,
the fact that Finland does not exist,
chickens wearing little sweaters,
and most importantly, sandwiches.
If you haphazardly slap some meat and cheese on bread
and call it a sandwich,
someone did not raise you right.
- Okay. - Sandwich making is an art.
What's your favorite kinda sandwich?
- Mike's Way, no tomatoes,
or honestly, any sandwich that someone else
is willing to make for me,
so I'm kinda on the other end of the spectrum from you.
- You can be taken advantage of (laughing)
when that's your standard. (Link laughing)
Okay, well, the beauty of sandwiches is,
there's a million types
and a million different price points,
but how much does cost really matter
when it comes to sandos?
(upbeat music) It's time for Naked Foods,
Naked Sandwiches Edition, Naked.
- Now, since the goal is to find out
how much price matters when it comes to sandwiches,
every sandwich that we're gonna be tasting today
must speak for itself. - Mm.
- There ain't gonna be no chips, or fancy sides,
or swanky bistro music
to affect our decision. - Oh, no swanky
bistro music? - No swanky
bistro music. - That's why I came today.
- Everything is naked.
- Okay, well, we're gonna be trying sandos
from four different price points.
- You've said, "Sandos," twice,
I've never heard you say, "Sandos," before.
- Hey. - They're putting that word
in your mouth. - It's a sando type a day.
I say, "Sando," all the time to my close friends.
(staff laughing)
- Four different price points,
fast-food-ish establishments,
which is gonna mean a couple of different things
depending on where it's from,
fast-casual restaurants, sit-down restaurants,
and fine-dining establishments.
- Uh-huh, each round, we're gonna pick
our individually favorite sandwich.
- You mean sando. - And then Stevie's
gonna tell us where the sandwich is from
and how much it cost, so that, ultimately,
we're gonna know how expensive our preferences are
and which sammies, sammies? (Rhett laughing)
I'll call 'em sammies, which sammies
are double whammies. - I've never heard you
say, "Sammies."
- You're right.
- Let's start this sammy soiree.
(upbeat music)
- These are turkey clubs.
- Yes, they are.
- Taking us to the club,
and some clubs immediately look a lot tastier
than others. - Which ones?
- I mean, starting over here.
- Now, you're a sandwich man,
and you get cold clubs sandwiches,
I've seen you do that before.
- This bacon is susp-ish,
you know what I'm saying?
(Link grunting) - I believe it's sus,
is what the kids are saying.
- Oh. (laughing)
- Not, "Susp-ish." - Susp-ish,
I like susp-ish, man. (staff laughing)
- Susp-ish is pretty good, it's kinda like sando.
- [Rhett] You can start susp-ish.
- That just didn't come together for me.
- I didn't like it. - The sauce was nice.
- This has a whole nother piece of bread in the middle.
- Yeah, this is very bread forward.
- Tastes a whole lot better.
- [Link] The turkey is only underneath the bread,
not above it.
- It tastes a whole lot better,
but it still just tastes like something
I would do at my house,
and I know people like the taste of homemade stuff,
but when it comes to a sandwich,
it's so easy to make a sandwich,
I want it to be like something like,
"I don't know if I could do that,"
I want that to be the main question
that's ringing in my ears. - Yeah.
I would be telling you what I think,
but I'm spending all of my energy
trying to get these tomatoes off of it.
- Look at that onion, you got a whole cross section.
- Good gosh, look, stare into that Eye of Sauron.
(Link roaring) (Rhett laughing)
(staff laughing) That'll give you
the bad breath.
I'ma get rid of some of that too,
'cause it scares me.
A lot of bacon coverage on this one, which I'm loving.
- [Rhett] Hmm, these are pretty equal,
not a bad taste. - Whoo, the onions.
That is a dry sandwich.
- But the moment we've all been waiting for,
the one that looks good.
(staff laughing) - Look at how great
this sandwich looks, it's grilled on the outside.
- It's got pickles, it's got some cheese,
it's got meat on the bottom and the top.
- Hold on, it's actually got ham on it.
Is that that ham or just pink turkey?
They're sliding ham into a turkey sam.
- [Stevie] Well, their club.
- Mm-hmm. - But yeah, turkey forward,
I suppose. - That's good.
- Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm. - Can you discard
your tomatoes in your section?
(staff laughing)
'Cause I'm having to put my sandwich back down
on your discarded tomatoes. - Sorry,
I thought that's what it was. - Not that I'm gonna
go back to it, but just it's something you should do
as a practice. - All right.
- [Stevie] You can nicely, politely and not aggressively
stab your favorites, in three, two, one.
- Boom.
Now, this is the most impressive sandwich,
but I thought it was trying too hard.
(staff laughing) This tastes like something
I can make at home, yes,
but I'd be proud of it.
- You definitely would, because it's a sandwich
with more than peanut butter and jelly.
I didn't particularly like any of 'em,
but that one was the best one.
- [Stevie] Okay, Link, you have chosen
our sit-down sandwich from Du-par's Restaurant & Bakery,
for 16.95. - Du-par's.
(price dinging) - Do tell, Du-par's.
- [Stevie] And Rhett, you've chosen the casual sandwich
from Carving Board for 13.50.
(price dinging) - Dang, son.
- You know me, hey, listen,
don't make too big of a deal out of it,
keep it cas.
- [Stevie] The first one is our fast food-ish from Panera,
for 10.09. - That was horrible,
horrible. - Y'all need to add some soup,
Panera. - And then the one
in between the ones you picked
is our fine-dining, most expensive sandwich,
from Factor's Deli for 20 bucks.
- 20 bucks?
- That is ludicrous.
- Y'all need some sauce on that.
(upbeat music)
- Mm.
- These are tuna salad sandos.
These two sandwiches look the same,
those two sandwiches look the same.
- Isn't sandos a susp-ish organization
that makes fertilizer? (staff laughing)
- That's Monsanto.
- Lots of onions lurking under this one.
Oh, no tomatoes on my half.
- Yeah. - Seems like my tantrum
paid off. - We all got tired of
watching you take 'em all off. (staff laughing)
That has a straight-from-the-sea
sort of taste to it. (staff laughing)
Doesn't it?
- I think it may just be your first bite,
that first tuna salad bite is gonna get you every time.
- I mean, they're not being shy
with the tuna salad in these places.
- Really high stacks, visible shards of egg,
which really draws me in.
(staff laughing)
- Yeah, whenever I wanna get you to do something,
I start with shards of egg.
- Mm.
- [Rhett] That tuna salad tastes a whole lot better
to me. - Mm-hmm.
- There's nothing to the sandwich,
it's just the salad, but.
- It's not as fishy.
- A shard full of eggs makes the medicine go down.
- Do we keep stepping up?
Good gracious, they wanted to get rid of some lettuce,
they had a surplus. (Rhett laughing)
- Get rid of some lettuce.
- Just slam it on there.
- It's lettuce forward.
(staff laughing) - Too much lettuce.
- It's got too much lettuce, I should've taken some off.
And finally.
- These all look the same.
- Oh, this looks like it's got dill in it.
- Let me see that.
- Oh. (staff laughing)
This has got.
- This looks like it's got dill in it.
(staff laughing) And no tomato on it.
- [Rhett] This has got some shards of something.
- [Link] Hmm, could it be fancy?
- Mm, it's dill.
- Wow.
- And I love dill.
- You know what, I like dill, but that's too much.
I cannot vote for that.
- There's two that stand head and shoulders
above the rest. - Mm-hmm, okay.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- You know what? - Wham, wham.
- Actually, this is better,
I love dill, but you over-dilled it.
- [Stevie] Well, I didn't expect to say this today,
but we're gonna have to have a three-way dance,
because you both chose
the fancy place. (Rhett laughing)
(upbeat music) And you get to dance with
the cow.
- Hey, no three-way.
(Rhett and staff laughing)
Three-way.
- This is how you three-way. (staff laughing)
Everybody can't face the same direction, right?
Oh man, I'm actually a little nauseous.
- Yeah, we spun too much,
had too much lettuce in us. - So the sandwich you chose
is from Art's Deli for $19. (price dinging)
And the ones that you did not choose,
starting from Rhett's side, our casual place,
Phil's Deli & Grill for 9.50.
- Hmm. - Sit-down place,
Daughter's Deli for 14.50.
- Hmm. - And that last one
with too much dill's actually from Ralphs for 5.99.
- Really? - Ralphs, y'all need to chill
on the dill.
- So it wasn't a froufrou move, it was just a mistake.
(Rhett and staff laughing)
- It was just somebody having a bad day.
- $20 for that sandwich.
- I don't care how many eggs shards you put in front of me,
I'm not paying $20 for it. - Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, we've got a big announcement
that we're about to make,
but before we do that, I need to run outside.
But first, pay close attention
to what this shirt looks like right now.
Okay, bye.
(Rhett groaning) - All right, Mythical Beasts,
today marks the beginning of something
that we hope is gonna develop a life entirely on its own,
it is a new apparel and accessories brand
that we have developed.
This is a shirt.
Well, it's a hoodie
that's a part of it. (staff laughing)
Might be like, "Oh, just your standard
street wear-style designs, right?"
Sike, sike.
- Sike, look at my shirt. - When you say, "Sike,"
you know what that means?
It means that your shirt
went from just being a collection of mushrooms.
- It's already fading, let me go recharge it.
- To being a pizza design.
Every SiKE item holds a secret,
something to surprise you,
and everybody else that looks at you
when you're wearing it, sporting it, or using it.
The concept, basically, you know what?
It started with this mug
when we said, "All right." - I'm coming in quick,
I'm coming in hot. - "You guys are loving
the fact that this thing changes,
there's a surprise associated with it
when you put hot water in it." - Oh, it fades fast.
- "What other things can we develop?"
(Rhett sighing) "And put in its own label,
in its own stable, that can surprise you and your friends?"
- It's amazing how reactive it is,
when I'm out in the sun, it gets super bright yellow,
and literally within seconds of running in here,
it begins to fade.
So it's pizza outside, it's just mushrooms on the inside.
- This is not just a merch line,
it is apparel, but it's a lot more,
and lots of these are gonna be released over time,
just go to sike, S-I-K-E, .la.
We did the dot la.
- We're in LA.
- To be the first to grab these
and the other things that are coming down the pike.
I think it's a pike.
- It's a pike, yeah. - It's a pike?
- It's SiKE.
- SiKE, we're very excited about it.
Stevie, give 'em the tag line,
'cause I forgot what it was all of a sudden.
- [Stevie] Made you look.
- Made you look. - Made you look, get it?
- [Stevie] These are Reuben sammies.
- These are Reuben sammies.
- Very excited, this could be
my all-time favorite kinda sandwich.
I love a Reuben. - Really?
- [Rhett] I love a Reuben, I always get a Reuben.
- So a Reuben is pastrami, sauerkraut,
thousand island dressing and? - And Russian,
Russian dressing.
Get with the fricking program.
- And Swiss?
- Yeah, usually.
- [Link] And a buttery, grilled-bun bread.
- That one didn't even look good,
but it sure tasted good.
Marble rye here.
- This one's got an agro feel to it.
- Explain.
- Like agriculture.
- Mm, yeah.
Mm, whoa, whoa, what's happening with that one?
- Something good, there's not a lot
of sauerkraut on this one. - I think that's the rye.
I love a Reuben. - And the rye
and the meats are really shining on that one.
- I almost changed my name to Reuben.
- [Link] You can still do it,
it's not too late to Reuben yourself.
- I backed out, look how thick
that that is. - That's all thick and pretty.
Now let's get down and dirty. - Wrap your lips around that.
- Mm.
I think I got a little bit of a pickle in that one.
- That's really good,
I don't know if the pastrami is as good on that one,
and I feel like there's not enough dressing on it.
- If I just ate that one, I would be ecstatic.
- Good Lord, look at that. - But I mean,
this is a stacks and stacks
of happiness. - This is intimidating.
- [Link] How do I even?
Did you, were you able?
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm, mm, mm.
- Man. - There's something in here
that I absolutely hate, is it the sauerkraut?
- These are all pretty good. (Link grunting)
- [Stevie] You're literally saying,
"These are all pretty good," as Link is barfing
into his trashcan. (staff laughing)
- Did you taste anything nasty?
Or nast. - No, I didn't taste
anything nasty, but. - As the kids say, nast.
- Man, these are all pretty good.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Boom.
- It came down to these two.
- Yeah. - And something about
the bread on this one's nice,
but I wanted this to have more sauce, but.
- And the sauce on that is bomb,
nast bomb. - Rhett, you have chosen
the casual place, Phil's Deli & Grill,
$14 sandwich. - Hey, pay no mind to me,
keeping it cas. (price dinging)
- [Stevie] Link, Link, Link,
you've chosen our fast-food restaurant, called Arby's.
(staff laughing) - (laughing) Hey,
Arby's is bringing it. - For 4.99.
- Hey, this is a wake-up call
to get your boop back in Arby's.
- Go back to Arby's,
you've been sleeping on 'em. (price dinging)
- [Stevie] That first one you're taking a bite of right now
is our sit-down place, Du-par's Restaurant & Bakery,
for 17.05. - And who crapped
in this one? - And then the one
at the very end is our fine-dining Art's Delicatessen,
for $24.
- Sorry, Art's.
(upbeat music)
Ooh. - These are spicy
chicken sandwiches.
- But not hot chicken sandwiches.
- No, very different things.
- Spicy chicken sandwiches.
- You wanna fist bump me, is that what?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - You wanna fist bump
before the sandwiches? - As we're eating,
the whole time.
- I don't want to do that. (laughing)
- Me neither. (Stevie laughing)
All right, this one's got
a nice buttery bun. - This one
has very little chicken. - And mine's got
two slices of chicken.
- Overlapping.
- Strange.
That's weird.
- [Rhett] It doesn't taste bad.
- It tastes almost grilled, but then fried, it's weird.
- [Rhett] It's getting better.
- And what do we have to its left?
We got a big honking daddy,
this thing right here
is wanting to come out the backdoor, y'all.
- I mean, that will happen eventually.
- A lot more meat, this is still thigh meat.
I don't know what kinda meat that was.
- I don't really like the loose slaw.
It's super spicy, but not very flavorful.
- You want your slaw on a patty?
- No, I want it to be kinda more incorporated.
- It's really spicy, whoo.
- [Rhett] This one looks like they just grabbed a chicken.
- [Link] Oh, no.
- Oh, it's tenders. - It's two chicken tenders.
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
- I like what's happening with this one.
- Slaw.
(coughing) Ooh, that's spicy.
- This is a hot chicken sandwich. (laughing)
- Oh man,
good gosh. - I mean, that's hot chicken.
- It had gotten down to my stomach
before what was left in my mouth
is sending heat radiation through my forehead.
- How you feel about the flavor?
- I didn't like the slaw,
it didn't balance it enough, something, it's out of whack.
(Link coughing)
- I'm missing a comeback sauce.
- (coughing) Ah.
Oh my word.
- Okay. (Link grunting)
- I got one more to eat.
That's almost too spicy.
- It's spicier than even I would want.
- This is a long, thick.
- [Rhett] This is super slaw forward.
- White.
Mm.
- I've had a lot of chicken sandwiches in my day.
- And a lot of 'em were better than any of these.
- Was exactly what I was thinking?
- I'm just hurting so bad, I can't make a choice.
All right, let me do it.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- I like the way this one came together.
- This is tough, I don't. - It's just,
it's a little too hot.
- [Stevie] Okay, I'm gonna say.
- All my taste buds were burned off
by the time I got to this one,
so my choice is not saying much.
- [Stevie] You're making a very bold claim
given what one of these sandwiches is,
that your sandwich is better than it, I'll say.
- Mm.
- [Stevie] Mainly because Link chose our sit-down place,
but our sit-down place is Howlin' Ray's,
for 12 bucks. (price dinging)
Which some would say definitively
is the best hot chicken sandwich.
- Okay, I don't think my hot chicken
is better than Howlin' Ray's.
(staff laughing)
I actually don't think that. - Yeah.
Is Howlin' Ray's hot chicken? - And then, Rhett, you chose
the casual place. - I'll try it again.
- Birdies WeHo, for 10 bucks.
(price dinging) - I've been doing so much
casual things lately.
- [Stevie] The first sandwich that you had
was actually our fine-dining sandwich
from Boneyard Bistro for $23,
and you didn't seem to like it that much.
And then the other one you were discussing
is from Ralphs' hot bar for 5.81, so it makes sense that
there wasn't a lot of flavor. - I feel like I need
to apologize to Ray,
'cause I know how good a Howlin' Ray's sandwich is.
- It's this one hit so hard,
it knocked the taste buds off. - This one messed us up,
this one messed us up, this is on us,
but it's really on this sandwich,
which Rhett chose and I didn't,
so make note of that right.
- [Stevie] So if you were to make meals
out of all these rounds that we just went through today.
- Yep. - The lowest possible total
was 26.88, the highest total was $86.
Rhett, your perfect meal
was 56.50. (price dinging)
And Link, your perfect meal was actually pretty close,
it was 52.94. (price dinging)
- Hey, we should go hang out,
we'll spend about the same amount of money on things.
- Yep, yep, yep, yep.
- When it comes to chicken,
yeah. - You wanna borrow $4?
- No, you want to borrow $4.
(staff laughing) - Do you wanna give it to me?
- And actually, you just wanna borrow $2, yeah.
- Just give me all your money.
(Stevie and staff laughing)

- In the dark is the message
