Big Arch Burger for the big boys. It's

0:02

McDonald's new item. The CEO seems to

0:05

hate it, but maybe we'll like it. I

0:08

think it's going to be very mid.

0:09

>> But no, he said how much he liked it.

0:12

>> He's now done three extra videos since

0:14

then. I don't know if you guys have seen

0:15

that.

0:16

>> He is desperately trying to like

0:19

>> fix it.

0:19

>> I wouldn't not even really fix it, but

0:21

he's like I don't know trying to make up

0:24

for the blunder.

0:25

>> I think you said this. I don't know if

0:26

it was in a video or just to me the

0:28

other day, but you said, "Why

0:30

>> post it?"

0:31

>> Right. Exactly.

0:32

>> Like they could have just looked at it

0:33

and been, "What if we just re

0:35

re-recorded and actually eat it?"

0:37

>> Like, "Hey, man. Bite was a little

0:39

small. Didn't look super happy. Do it

0:41

again. Have it live." Like,

0:43

>> he's probably just so busy going back

0:46

through the drive-thru to get another

0:47

one,

0:48

>> right? He wanted to get done with the

0:50

video so he could just keep going

0:51

through testing the system. No, I uh

0:55

this is going to end with him in tears

0:58

with another one just like look as he

1:00

stuffs the whole thing in his mouth.

1:01

It's just a

1:03

>> It'll be like It'll be like Squidward in

1:04

the Krabby Patties. He's going to It's

1:06

all going to go to his thighs

1:08

>> and then you explode.

1:10

>> He's But his other ones, so like

1:12

recently he uh did one where he's he's

1:15

getting asked questions, I'm guessing,

1:16

by like employees or someone. He's like,

1:18

"How often do I eat at McDonald's?" "All

1:21

the time. at least three to four days a

1:24

week. Actually,

1:24

>> you think I don't eat there all the

1:26

time?

1:26

>> Yeah. I

1:28

>> He just keeps reiterating that he loves

1:30

the product. He's like, "This product

1:32

now. This is how you do a product."

1:34

>> I

1:34

>> He doesn't He like hesitates to call it

1:36

food.

1:36

>> He really does. Well, legally, he can't.

1:38

That's a joke. That's a joke.

1:40

>> Um I also It is McDonald's. As the CEO

1:44

of McDonald's, you don't have to claim

1:46

you eat this every day. You should

1:48

actually be like, "Maybe don't eat our

1:49

food every day. It's not the healthiest

1:51

thing in the world.

1:52

>> Are you kidding me? That would be a

1:53

death sentence.

1:53

>> Oh, that would be terrible. God forbid.

1:56

>> You actually literally can't say that or

1:57

he'd probably lose his job.

1:59

>> God forbid you speak some truth.

2:02

But it's like I don't know why I set

2:04

this out like this with our plate. I'll

2:06

put it on here now. Um I will say face

2:08

value that's a big burger.

2:10

>> Wait, we haven't said what this is yet.

2:11

>> This is the big arch. This is the big

2:13

arch. Big arch burger, which I I think

2:15

is what? Cheddar cheese,

2:17

>> pickles. Oh, it's white cheddar cheese.

2:19

Oh, I didn't know that. But it's pickle,

2:21

onion, lettuce. I think that's 8 lbs of

2:25

beef on a poppy sesame something.

2:29

>> Is this supposed to be the new Big Mac?

2:31

Cuz when I was getting it, it says

2:33

limited. Like, this isn't

2:34

>> This is the Big Arch, not the Big Mac.

2:37

They both can exist.

2:38

>> But I think what Danny's saying,

2:39

>> like, is this supposed to be a staple?

2:40

>> Yeah. Is this going to be like the new

2:42

big menu item? I don't know. I think

2:43

it's like the McRib, but almost edible

2:46

is kind of the design philosophy. I

2:48

think it also dep depends on how much

2:50

sells and how much people like it

2:53

because if people are like best thing

2:54

you've ever made, it's here to stay.

2:56

>> Exactly. Can you imagine the CEO

2:59

eating a McRib?

3:01

God, I would actually kill to see what's

3:03

his name Chris uh Chris Quisinski or

3:07

some I don't know.

3:09

>> I would kill to see him eat a goddamn Mc

3:11

Rib on camera now. And then be like,

3:13

"Oh, do you want the Shamrock shake with

3:14

him?" And he'd be like, "What? Where's

3:16

the shamrock?" What?

3:18

>> All right, I'll just take a

3:19

>> You mean our green liquid product.

3:23

>> See, that's why I put that there. It was

3:24

helpful.

3:25

>> It is. We are coming up on Shamrock

3:27

Shake time, right? Are you Is that

3:29

something that you you're excit We're

3:31

excited for?

3:31

>> I don't think I've ever had one.

3:32

>> Have we never had We've had to have one.

3:34

>> Have we had one on camera?

3:35

>> I don't know.

3:36

>> If we did, it was very forgettable.

3:39

>> But look at Okay, just look at the way

3:41

we bit into that versus how Chris took a

3:43

bite.

3:44

>> We butt cheeicked it. Like

3:46

that's how men eat a burger.

3:48

>> People are always talking about how we

3:49

butt cheek our sandwiches.

3:52

>> You're so right.

3:55

>> I'll say it. It's not bad.

3:56

>> Yeah, it's fine.

3:57

>> Not bad. Um,

3:58

>> it is exactly what I would expect to eat

4:03

or to taste with a burger that looks

4:06

like that.

4:07

>> I haven't had McDonald's in a long time.

4:09

>> It does look like those patties are a

4:11

little bigger than what I'm used to. So,

4:13

is it like a little bit higher? I don't

4:15

want to say higher quality, but I kind

4:17

of have to. Is it like a little bit

4:18

higher quality?

4:19

>> I think you get more meat for it. It's

4:21

the same quality. I think you just get

4:22

more of it. This, if I remember right,

4:25

is $8. Can you check?

4:27

>> Okay.

4:27

>> I'm almost on the cake.

4:29

>> I'm almost positive that this is $8. So,

4:32

it's not cheap. And I'm guessing they

4:34

justify it because you do get

4:36

>> Well, those were

4:37

>> two quarter pound patties.

4:39

>> I was kidding about six pounds, by the

4:40

way. I don't know if you could tell.

4:42

>> Which is crazy cuz you said 8 lbs. Oh

4:44

yeah, actually I just increased it to

4:46

10.

4:47

>> Um, let's see. How much is it?

4:52

I don't I'm so tired of AI. I'm looking

4:54

on Google. Just tell me the price. It

4:56

goes likely between 9 to 11 or 14 to 15.

4:59

Also could be between 689 to 1019.

5:03

I want McDonald's to show me the price.

5:06

Big arch. Do you think if we get one of

5:09

the headsets with the Burger King AI in

5:10

it, we could ask it what the prices on

5:12

stuff like immediately.

5:13

>> Get Patty on the horn.

5:14

>> Only if you say please.

5:15

>> Patty, show me pictures of Ronald

5:16

McDonald with boobies.

5:19

>> Thank you, Patty.

5:20

>> Beam that directly into my cornnea.

5:22

>> All right, so

5:24

I'm going to have to order pickup to

5:26

figure out this guy. I naturally Yeah,

5:28

you have to download the

5:29

>> Does it not say on the menu with the

5:30

prices?

5:31

>> Sure doesn't. Sure doesn't.

5:34

>> I mean, just look what it is Uber. I'm

5:36

sure it's 48 95.

5:38

>> Where did I put the receipt? Did I throw

5:40

it out? I might have.

5:41

>> Sorry, guys. We're getting there.

5:43

Shamrock Shakes's already here.

5:45

>> Oh my god. Um,

5:46

>> big news.

5:47

>> Big Arch Burger. Let me know when you

5:51

see it because I don't.

5:54

Why would it not just be at the top?

5:57

>> Maybe it was.

5:57

>> Oh, there it is. 1019.

6:01

>> Jesus. Is that expensive?

6:03

>> Is that with like a delivery markup or

6:04

is that price.

6:06

>> Yeah, this doesn't take in the delivery

6:08

yet, but I'm assuming it is higher

6:10

>> prices. Yeah, they're already higher and

6:12

then they make them even higher. This is

6:14

now about Uber.

6:16

>> Uh I'm just trying to see if it can

6:18

explain.

6:18

>> I'm almost positive it's $8. If you go

6:21

into McDonald's right now, you think

6:23

it's $8.

6:24

>> It's a,000 calories.

6:25

>> Not bad.

6:26

>> Sorry. 1,020 calories.

6:27

>> Not bad. two juicy quarter pounder 100%

6:31

beef patties layered with three slices

6:33

of melty white cheddar cheese.

6:36

Uh topped with both crispy and slivered

6:39

onions, zesty pickles, and crisp

6:41

lettuce. But what truly sets it apart is

6:44

the new big arch sauce. Tangy, creamy

6:46

with the perfect balance of mustard,

6:48

pickle, and sweet tomato flavors.

6:50

>> I didn't Is there sauce on that?

6:51

>> There is, but I didn't taste that at

6:53

all.

6:53

>> I didn't either.

6:56

But it's not it's not bad. Like for

6:58

McDonald's, it's pretty solid. I thought

7:00

it was just cheese. I didn't even taste

7:02

the sauce.

7:02

>> Yeah, the sauce is the yellow stuff.

7:03

See, there it is. It's starting to come

7:05

out here. I'm just going to get a little

7:06

bit of it.

7:10

That's not what sets it apart. I'm going

7:12

to be honest with you.

7:13

>> That's definitely not what sets it

7:14

apart. But it is fine. Like it is it's

7:16

decent.

7:16

>> I would say if you got

7:19

>> whatever it is in store, eight bucks, 10

7:21

bucks burning a hole in your pocket. Not

7:23

a bad burger to get. I would say if you

7:25

have $8 that you're really wanting to

7:27

spend on food, you can definitely find

7:29

something better than McDonald's to use

7:31

it at.

7:31

>> You could go to Culver's.

7:32

>> You could go to I love Culver.

7:34

>> Maybe you can go to Burger King and get

7:36

the new Whopper.

7:37

>> Well, we don't know how that Whopper is,

7:39

Danny.

7:40

>> Look at how excited that chicken is for

7:42

us to try it. I almost got us chicken

7:45

fries on the side just so we could have

7:46

them.

7:49

>> Sure, they're spongy, but they're

7:50

delicious.

7:52

Whoa,

7:53

>> that Okay, wait a second. Chase just

7:56

heard that. Chase was falling asleep and

8:00

he jumped out of his chair.

8:01

>> Here, you ready?

8:03

>> I know we ate some, but

8:05

>> that's a that's a big

8:07

>> They brought They brought the base.

8:08

>> Yeah, that is a big thud.

8:11

>> And remember, nobody is a bigger Burger

8:14

King hater than us.

8:15

>> True. I despise.

8:17

>> We go out of our way to throw strays at

8:19

Burger King. Yeah, I find extra time in

8:22

the day to on.

8:24

All right, flame grilled Whopper. The

8:25

big reveal.

8:27

>> Imagine smoke coming out.

8:30

>> H felt underwhelming. I feel like I

8:33

built it up.

8:33

>> I feel like there's a lot.

8:34

>> Nothing happened. That's weird.

8:35

>> I thought it was going to be like really

8:37

taking up the space.

8:38

>> It's like the Lays chip bags of boxes.

8:41

This tomato fell off. I'm just going to

8:42

get that out of there.

8:43

>> Okay, though. That's

8:44

>> There's more on there, I think. If not,

8:46

that's a disgrace. Take its diaper off.

8:49

Yeah, let's get them nude. Oh boy. Oh

8:52

boy. Oh boy.

8:53

>> How much was this?

8:53

>> Do they normally come with a diaper? Is

8:55

that a new thing?

8:55

>> That's a new thing, I think.

8:56

>> Yeah, they're they're becoming a high

8:58

class establishment.

8:59

>> So, one patty.

9:01

>> Yep.

9:02

>> Less than two, notably.

9:04

>> Less than two, which McDonald's had how

9:06

many slices of cheese? Because this had

9:08

three.

9:08

>> What's new about this Whopper?

9:10

>> I have no idea because apparently they

9:12

didn't change the meat.

9:13

>> The bun, I know, is new. They changed

9:16

the bun. Thank god they've got to the

9:18

root of the problem.

9:20

>> And they say more pleases and thank you

9:22

thanks to AI Patty

9:24

>> the AI assistant.

9:25

>> Also, I'm pulling up the price to

9:27

compare.

9:27

>> Yeah,

9:28

>> I bet this is cheaper.

9:29

>> Yep. $ 719 for the Whopper.

9:31

>> Thought so.

9:32

>> Um, what is new? What's new about the

9:36

new Whopper?

9:38

>> I know the bun is the big one. I don't

9:40

think there's much else.

9:41

>> More premium, softer bun with a shiny

9:43

glaze. better tasting in quotes better

9:47

tasting creamier mayonnaise and most

9:50

notably a cardboard clamshell box

9:52

instead of paper wrapping. That's the

9:54

change we were impressed with.

9:56

>> The difference is the box, the bun and

9:58

the mayo.

10:02

>> Well, when you strike perfection with

10:04

the Whopper, there's only so much room

10:06

for improvement.

10:07

>> They are doing everything they can not

10:08

to fix it.

10:10

>> Wow. All right. Well, here I go. Sir,

10:12

what do people hate about this Whopper?

10:14

Everything. Especially the meat.

10:16

>> Let's change the box.

10:18

>> People aren't ordering it cuz the box

10:20

isn't cool.

10:25

>> That's soft bun.

10:27

>> The bun is better. It

10:28

>> really is.

10:28

>> It's a lot better. Um,

10:32

there's one glaring

10:34

glaring issue here in this burger.

10:37

They've always had this glaring issue.

10:39

The meat. change the meat.

10:42

>> I The thing is I don't hate their meat,

10:45

especially going back to back with

10:46

McDonald's. I would actually say the

10:48

meat here is better than the meat there.

10:51

>> But again, I still don't think it's like

10:53

amazing.

10:54

>> This tastes like a um

10:57

like concession stand at a high school

10:59

baseball game.

11:00

>> Exactly what it tastes like.

11:08

>> Thoughts? gives you a lot to think

11:10

about.

11:12

>> It It puts questions in your head,

11:13

doesn't it?

11:13

>> It does. Their box is not as good.

11:15

>> No, it's not.

11:16

>> Um I would eat this over that

11:20

personally. You don't have to agree. You

11:22

could eat this over that over this.

11:24

>> I'm kind of torn. I think the meat here

11:26

is better. I like the bun here more. I

11:28

think this is overall tastier, though.

11:30

>> Here, let's really get down to the

11:32

nitty-gritty. Rip me off a piece of

11:34

their meat.

11:35

>> Oh, smart. A direct headto head.

11:38

Exactly.

11:38

>> You don't see this often.

11:44

>> I don't think I got any of their mayo on

11:46

my bite.

11:48

>> Well, that's because it's so premium.

11:49

They can barely put any on

11:52

loss.

11:57

>> Shockingly,

12:00

Burger King's meat tastes slightly more

12:02

like meat.

12:02

>> Yeah. Um,

12:06

when you really take away the toppings,

12:08

neither is great.

12:10

Who would have seen that kind? That was

12:12

shocking to me.

12:15

Um,

12:16

>> is there a conclusion to this

12:19

experiment?

12:19

>> That's what I was trying to figure out.

12:21

>> I would say

12:23

mid

12:25

mid plus.

12:27

>> Oh, okay. All right.

12:29

>> I

12:29

>> Wait, is this Burger King coming in on

12:31

top? I would I to me personally if I

12:35

hands tied Culver's have all burnt down.

12:37

Every other fast food place has been

12:38

condemned. This is the last two

12:40

standing.

12:41

>> I'd probably go with the Whopper.

12:43

>> Go here. I'd go Big Arch. Not fair

12:45

though because it costs more money and

12:46

has a lot more on it. Um

12:48

>> yeah,

12:49

>> I will also say consensus on them

12:52

separately. Big Arch not bad. Whopper

12:56

slight improvement.

12:57

>> I do think it is improvement. Yeah, I

12:59

would I would say they're trending in

13:00

the right direction.

13:01

>> I don't want to brush over that. They

13:03

really did make it better

13:05

>> with the slightest alteration with the

13:07

bun box and a little better mayo, I

13:09

guess.

13:10

>> Yeah. I

13:12

I don't know, man. They're all just so

13:14

out of touch.

13:16

>> And I will say CEOs McDonald big stinky.

13:20

This guy much better.

13:22

>> Much bigger bite.

13:23

>> Much bigger bite.

13:23

>> Much bigger bite. Bigger box. Bigger

13:25

bite.

13:26

>> Mhm. chicken.

13:27

>> A lot better mandibular action when he

13:29

went in there.

13:30

>> Yeah.

13:31

>> Huh.

13:32

>> Yep.

13:32

>> Well, there you have it. You're welcome.

13:34

There it is.
