- Garcon!
Send me your finest frozen soups, please.
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle, upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Mornin'!
- It's that time of year again.
The weather's gettin' colder,
even out here in Cali, kind of.
Rhett, tell them the best way to warm up
from the inside out.
- You find the closest squirrel
and you chase it until it surrenders.
That'll warm you right up.
- Rhett, tell 'em the second best way
to warm up from the inside out.
- Oh, soup.
- I agree.
But can we agree that the more expensive the soup,
the better the soup?
Let's find out.
It's time for Naked Foods: Naked Soup Edition.
Naked.
- Now, since we're trying to figure out whether
or not price actually matters when it comes to soups,
they have to stand on their own.
So there's going to be no fancy breads,
or oil,
or waiters with a pepper mill who wait until you say when
to stop putting pepper on your stuff.
That might sway our decisions.
You get that?
Everything is gonna be naked.
- Nekkid.
We're going be trying soup from four different price points.
Grocery store.
That's either refrigerated or frozen.
Fast casual restaurant,
sit-down restaurant,
and fine dining establishments.
- Each round we're going to pick our favorite soup
and then Steve is gonna tell us what the soup is from
and how much it costs,
or where each soup is from how much it costs,
and by the end,
we'll know. - What's this soup from?
How expensive our preferences are
and which soups are worth their weight in gold hoops.
Soups and hoops rhyme.
- Yeah, we're wearin' birds.
(slow burlesque music)
This is is chicken tortilla soup.
- Boy, and there is quite a spectrum here, is there not?
- This one's clear.
This one's got green floaties.
- That one's creamy.
- That one's thick and orange.
- This one's sorta somewhere in the middle.
- [Link] This one looks like chili, almost.
- [Rhett] Almost like chili.
- That comes later.
(both chewing)
Mm.
- That's a good soup!
- Not good.
(group laughing)
- You don't like that?
- No.
- That's a good soup.
- It needs stuff to make it better.
- Oh, you know what?
But it just got watery at the end.
- Yeah, it's salty.
I'm telling, it's not salty. - Salty?
It's nothin'.
It's nothing that I like.
- [Rhett] Nothing that you like?
- [Link] What's this? Some called a puree?
- This seems more like a bisque.
- This is like one of them soups
that they make in a blender.
Okay.
See now, that has a taste.
- It tastes like tortilla.
- And I like it.
- It is better.
The tortilla.
- Shouldn't it taste like tortilla?
- I've never thought about chicken tortilla soup
tasting like a tortilla.
But that's got tortilla in it.
- [Link] How come this one is so different?
This one's just got a bunch of floatin' individual things.
Is it kind of. (Link mumbling)
(Rhett mumbling)
- This is something you eat when you're sick.
- Ugh, kind of makes me sick.
I don't like that either.
What is this again?
- Chicken tortilla soup.
- Is it really?
I mean, that one is.
But those aren't.
This is definitely not.
What is this?
Where is the chicken tortilla?
- There's no enchilada sauce in that.
- [Link] What is this?
- And there's not in this one either.
- [Link] What is this?
- Hold on, this is like, find the chicken.
This is like a game.
(group laughing)
See if you can get somethin' in your lap?
- I got it on my britches but I didn't hit a duck.
I don't want to drown a duck.
- I like that cilantro.
- This tastes good but it's just broth.
The only one that has any tortilla is that one.
Okay.
- [Rhett] Hold on a sec.
- This is easy.
I don't have to guess what anything is.
I just have to say what I like, right?
- This one,
going back to this one was kind of fun.
- I don't need to go back anyway, I'm ready.
- [Stevie] Go ahead. Three, two, one.
- Ha!
- Ultimately.
You gotta be careful with that, you know?
- I was.
- You remember that one time that you hurt me
and I hurt you back?
- [Stevie] Okay, so you guys are agreeing here.
- I do, yeah.
- [Stevie] And what you're agreeing to is a three-way,
because you picked the fancy soup!
- Oh!
(romantic piano music)
- Oh my goodness.
(group laughing)
- I feel like a professional wrestler.
You know how they just keep going like this?
(Link grunting)
- [Stevie] Oh my gosh!
(Link grunting)
- [Stevie] The arm, no!
- [Mooshelle] Moo.
- [Rhett] Mooshelle's arms don't bend that way.
Mooshelle, are you okay?
(group laughing)
Okay, that was a lovely fancy pants dance.
That is from Polo Lounge. - Polo Lounge?
- [Stevie] And costs $22.
- [Link] Worth every penny.
- [Stevie] The first soup is the grocery store soup
from Target.
It's Good & Gather for 4.49.
- Emphasis on the gross.
- [Stevie] And then the next one is our fast casual,
El Pollo Loco, heard of it?
For 6 99.
And finally our sit-down place,
The Henry, for 12 buckaroos.
- Henry!
- Henry's savin' money on ingredients.
(slow burlesque music)
This is chili.
- Is chili a soup?
A stew?
- Why wouldn't it be a soup?
I've heard that there's people out there who say
that chili's not a soup,
but if you didn't know what chili was and you had this,
you'd be like, it's a soup.
- Yeah. I mean, I think it.
- I mean, this is a thick daddy over here
we're starting with, that's for sure.
- Lots of, seems to be meat.
That's a nice taste.
- That's like a homemade chili.
- I was gonna say could be from a can.
- Man, hold on.
It's so weird that the the after taste is really,
when you said, is it because you said canned,
I started tasting metallic stuff?
- Uh, I'm not in your head, man.
I don't know.
- Oh, this one seems.
- I didn't think it was bad.
- This one's got other stuff in it like chickpeas, and.
- Carrots.
(Link chewing)
- Hmm.
Hmm?
- Not enough salt.
- There's a complexity to this that I like.
- There's some heat to it.
- But there's something about it
that I don't like at the same time.
But I don't really like chili.
- Wow, what is it,
it's like an aromatic spice that's like.
- A little overpowering.
- [Link] Throwin' me.
- Is that saffron?
(Link huffing)
- He's like, look at me, man.
You think you think a man
with ducks on his shirt gonna tell you
if there's saffron in there?
(woman laughing)
- Mm.
We're going to sweet town.
Weird.
- These are all stro strange.
- Stro strange.
- They're stro strange.
- It's got some sweet 'ems.
- I don't likey.
And this looks like hotdog chili, Hormel.
- How long are you? Just do a scrape, not a,
don't do that forever.
- Yeah, but look what happens when you do that?
It goes down the side of it and then it goes.
- Well, you didn't do a full scrape.
See, I got nothin'.
- That could be dog food.
(group laughing)
- There's no beans in it and it is spicy.
- [Rhett] It's spicy.
- Woo!
Ha! Ha!
Wow, that really opens you up
and then leaves you vulnerable.
I feel like I could be,
I don't know, shot by a hunter or somethin'.
- I don't like any of 'em that much.
- Well, you can't like that one
'cause it doesn't have beans.
- Oh yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
(Rhett grunting) (Link grunting)
- You're gonna hurt somebody, man!
- Listen, are you hurt?
- No.
- So I definitively did not like your choice.
Did you hate my choice?
- I didn't like any of them,
but I found this one to be the most interesting.
- I've had some good chili my day,
but it's been homemade every time
is what I guess I'm learning.
- [Stevie] Okay, so there is something interesting
about the one that Rhett chose.
It's our fast casual.
It's Panera and also it's turkey chili.
The other ones aren't turkey chili, for 7.69.
- Did not know that.
- [Stevie] And then Link,
you chose our sit-down place,
Art's Delicatessens for $11.
The other ones are grocery store, Home Chef from Ralphs
for 5.99,
and our fancy place is at the end without beans
from The Arbour for 15 bucks.
- The Arbour's goin' 15 bucks
and they don't even throw beans in their chili.
(slow burlesque music)

- In plushie form?
- Because you can do that,
but you have to be a member of the Mythical Society,
A 3rd Degree Member of the Mythical Society.

- [Rhett Doll] Good Mythical Morning.
- [Link Doll] Snot mike a puffsty?
- And there's plenty more where that came from.
You made it weird when you said spend time alone with us.
But get the plushie by the end of the year.
- That was my point.
- Quarterly or annual plan, 3rd Degree.
Mythicalsociety.com.
- [Stevie] This is lobster bisque.
- This is lobster bisque.
- Okay, so we've got.
- You had a little Greensboro accent on that one.
- [Stevie] Did I?
- No, you didn't.
- [Stevie] Oh.
- You were like, d-did I?
- Both of these have the coloring of.
- Lobster.
- Of a chicken sauce.
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- [Link] This one's darker, this one's the darkest.
- [Rhett] Now I'm a bisque man.
- I like a good bisque.
- If lobster bisque is on the menu,
I'll order it.
- Ooh, that is very creamy.
- That is comin' really hard with the flavor.
- And lobstery, wow.
- Man, is it too much?
It feels like it might be too much!
- I've never had a bisque that poignant.
- You've been bisqued!
- Totally bisqued, man.
I love it.
- I mean, it's so much.
- [Link] Let me get a load of this, though.
- Now that's more what I expect.
- It's so sweet compared to the other one.
- It's super buttery.
- Very buttery.
I have to come back for those.
- It doesn't have a cream taste.
It has a butter taste.
That one has a cream taste.
And this one,
you're left with a nice lobster,
very high quality in my opinion.
- Very high quality.
Let's not acknowledge the fact,
now that we're on our something bowl of soup,
that we're just eating out of the same bowl
with two different spoons.
- Listen man, our lives are so intertwined.
What a boring embarrassment.
(group laughing)
- Good.
No, no, it's not boring.
It's actively offensive.
- I just don't taste anything.
- I taste something.
I am offended by that.
I didn't find any lobster in there.
It's been bisqued to pieces.
(man laughing)
- Compared to those two,
this is a sad place.
- And now we're gonna judge this one based on that one,
just because it's the same color.
- [Link] Now I see that you got a big chunk of somethin'.
- [Rhett] A chunk of somethin'.
- I'm lookin', oh, I got a chunk.
Okay.
- Okay.
That's the most straight lobster-y one.
This is not easy, guys.
- It's not too much of anything.
Yeah, it comes down to these two here.
I already know.
(spoon tapping)
- Stay reared back.
(Link grunting)
All right, it's definitive for me after that.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Yep, whep, whabam! Whabam.
- [Stevie] Link, why don't you get on up
for a fancy pants dance, sir.
(romantic piano music)
- May I?
(Mooshelle mooing)
(Stevie laughing)
(group laughing)
Okay, it's over.
(group laughing)
- [Stevie] You chose the Morton's.
- It's over.
- [Stevie] Morton's Steakhouse - Morton's, Morton's.
- [Stevie] for 16.50, and Rhett, you chose.
- 16.50, that's a mighty expensive bowl of soup.
- [Stevie] the sit-down restaurant, Delmonico's, for 10.95.
- Very good.
- [Stevie] The one that you thought was terrible
was our grocery store, Good & Gather Target, for 4.49.
And the last one was fast casual Cousins Main Lobster.
I was gonna say marine lobster,
which does not sound good, for $8.
- Cousins does it good.
- Cousins not bad.
- They've got a good lobster roll truck
and see, they let the lobster sing.
I tell you, let that lobster sing.
- We see you, Cousins.
Finally, we get to some differentiation.
(slow burlesque music)
This is ramen.
- This is ramen.
- Look at that.
Now I like a good ramen.
- It's tough for two guys to eat out of the same ramen bowl.
- [Link] It's tough but it's not,
okay, what's that?
- That's a pork.
- That's a pork piece.
Allow me to introduce myself.
- [Rhett] I see you're doin' that.
- [Link] Well, I'm just gonna have to.
- [Rhett] I'm gonna just eat some noodles separately.
- I'm just wanted a piece of this.
Oh gosh.
This is a strug.
I am really struggin' over here.
- [Man] God.
- I just want a piece.
Oh, and this.
Oh.
(group laughing)
It's so far away.
(Rhett slurping)
(Link slurping)
(both chewing)
But it was worth it.
- And then you gotta broth it.
- That was good.
I didn't even get a nood.
Let me get a noodle.
- That's pretty good.
- It's gonna take a while.
- If not really good.
I don't even think we should try this one.
I mean, look at this crap.
- It can't be great.
I love a good ramen when it's cold and you wanna warm up.
- [Rhett] Where's the broth, man?
- You want to have a, like a nice creamy, hot broth.
Make it spicy if you want.
One time, I had a sore throat and I was like,
let's get ramen, let's make it spicy.
And I thought I was gonna die.
It hurt my throat so bad.
- This is an interesting one.
Oh.
- How do you get to the?
- The pork in that is so good.
- [Link] It's like shaved pork.
- But there's very little broth and it's not very creamy.
(both slurping)
Pork is good in that.
And this one's got all kinds of stuff goin' on over here.
I'm sorry I'm just dropping my noodle.
This is a noodle dropping here in the middle for me.
- I know, we're having so much trouble.
Ramen is not a team sport.
That's what I'm learning.
- Everybody should get their own ramen.
- Mm hm.
- Oh, look at the size of that pork daddy.
Take that off.
Pull that off.
- Pull it apart?
Okay.
All right, this is a nice little taste.
Hmm, hmm, hmm!
Hmm!
All right.
- I think one, man.
Can't tell the brothy broth, broth, broth time, hold on.
- [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Whabam!
Yes, that one over there.
That is a nice, creamy broth.
That is a nice noodley nood, and those.
- What is that called?
- Pork pieces are just decadent.
- What's the name of the pork that goes in it?
- [Link] But these are respectable.
- [Stevie] You guys have both chosen the fast casual place.
- We did? R101 Ramen for 12.45.
- What?
- [Stevie] So not the grocery store,
which of course is the one next to it.
- Yeah, it's gotta be.
- [Stevie] It's Ling Ling from Walmart for 4.12.
- Don't do that.
- Ding a ling?
- You can get yourself a ding a ling at Walmart.
- At Walmart.
You short a ding a ling?
- [Stevie] And then the next one,
that one that you're in right now,
is our fancy place, Iroha Sushi of Tokyo, for $20.
- Iroha.
- [Stevie] And then the last one is Tamashi Ramen for 17.75,
our sit-down place.
- The pork in this is exquisite.
That's why I just continue to eat it.
- Iroha has a really good crab soup too
that will make you fart.
(group laughing)
But it is worth it.
That's a good spot in the valley, y'all.
- In the valley.
- [Stevie] Okay.
- Silverlake Ramen is my favorite.
- [Stevie] The lowest possible total.
- It ain't on here.
- [Stevie] From today's soup menu would be 19.09,
and the highest possible would be 73.50.
Rhett, your perfect soup meal total was 53.09,
and Link, your perfect soup meal total was 61.95.
- Hey, you got more fancy, man!
- That's right, because I'm a soup boy, I guess?
Yeah, I'm a fancy souper.
- He's a soup boy.
All right, thanks for subscribing and clickin' that bell.
