I’m a Trader Joe’s employee watching this on my lunch break and this gave me the strength I needed to continue being overly nice and overbearing today!!
I currently work at a TJs, this line cracked me up because it's SO true "The best part of going to Trader Joes is the going to the grocery store after it to get all the stuff you didn't get at Trader Joe's" - I get so many "Do you have (things normal stores have) questions?"
So TJ's target audience is foodies? Or people who LIKE to shop? Because for me, grocery store food needs to be DAMN good to make me want to go an extra place (given the MASSIVE variety at regular grocery stores, and range of prices). And in fact, if I can, I'd rather get specialty food through internet with delivery, if I can get the brand I want at a reasonable price.
7:28 nah Rhett you guys are in your 40s, been friends since you were what, 6? Stayed friends throughout school, college, then both of you decided to move across the country to pursue this dream that ended up being Mythical? You don't need blood relation to be family. Link is 100% your brother.
As a former TJ crew member, I knew from the start that 365 was going to get CRUSHED. Still surprised at the chicken sausage, that might be my favorite thing in the store.
No doubt about it, I've shopped at both several times and I'm always let down by 365 brand items. I was actually eating the TJ's peanut butter cups at the start of the show and when I saw them on the episode I knew whole foods had no chance. They're better than Reese's IMO.
@@ckboy221 I agree. Better than Reese's. But then again, my opinion is moot because I don't like Reese's. They have a bit of a chemically overly sweet taste to them.
This episode really makes me want a “who’s your ancestor” episode where some genealogy person looks into the guys’ ancestors to see if they are really related. Might uncover some unfun ancestors but I feel like that then could make a great ear biscuit.
@@nwerd7584 Actually, we're all grown in test tubes by the lizard people that secretly run the planet. None of us are truly related, our DNA is all engineered.
Whole Foods = great for when you’re actually planning to cook before eating. Trader Joe’s = great for when you need a tasty, pre-prepared food you just want to warm up.
Rhett gave the Whole Foods potstickers a 6 and the Trader Joe’s a 7 and said there was two point difference for the 2% difference in sodium. Usually that’s a Link kinda thing to do
I work at Whole Foods and immediately knew Trader Joe’s was taking the win. And our prices are just getting ridiculous (as if they weren’t already ridiculous)
As a lover of both, I totally saw this coming. TJ's has the tastier items MOST of the time, but they also use a ton more salt and processed ingredients and that's why 😂 Side note, Emily is giving Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic and she's just SO BEAUTIFUL
@@ARMTOASTAlot of trader joes frozen foods are very processed. It's a hit or miss in their frozen foods. Though they definitely also have healthy options.
Emily is awesome! She tweeted a while back about whether or not we’d be interested if she got her own show, so here’s hoping she gets one! I’d definitely watch anything she’s in!
I just realized I've been watching GMM for ten years now. That's crazy, I was in middle school back then. Keep up the great work, guys! I might not watch super regularly but its always nice to come back to this channel.
as someone who works at trader joe's, I'm happy to see y'all giving it the love it deserves! I love pretty much all of our products and I especially love how affordable and delicious they are :)
i actually learned about the existence of Hatch chili peppers thru the frozen mac & cheese dinner TJ has that has Hatch chili peppers in it, so good; you guys also used to have a candy bar called a Quasar that was like a Milky Way Midnight: dark chocolate, nougat and caramel
Peanut butter chocolates from around the world is something your expertise needs to judge! Whittakers peanut butter chocolate in New Zealand has to be a top 3?
THANK YOU SOO much for all the shout outs to Rick Bonin! I work at Whole Foods in the North Atlantic region, and have met Rick a few times... this made my DAY! I can't wait to show this to EVERYONE I WORK WITH!
One of my favorite moments of any show or movies is the offhand, offscreen comment with no one noticing and Matt's "I tripped" ranks up there with Neil Patrick Harris' "Blind man climbing, blind man falling" in Beastly. Perfection.
15:36 LMAO I was crying laughing Rhett was going bonkers! That was hilarious!! Rick Bonin’ lol. 17:13 “One big ol’ point for bonin’!!” WHY WONT HE STOP LMAOOOOO!! 18:00 IT JUST DOESNT STOP!!!
Emily is always so freakin beautiful, but this hairstyle complements and enhances her features so perfectly that I literally couldn’t do anything but stare her when she was on screen 😍👏🏼
Whole foods is basically at a constant disadvantage due to trying to be a healthier option. It's good that it exists, but sometimes you want things to taste good, not good enough.
gmm and mythical kitchen used to be mine and my girlfriend's favourite things to watch every night. we're not together anymore so i still can't bring myself to sit through an episode yet but i wanted to thank you guys for all the laughter, inside jokes, references etc. maybe someday her and i will watch together again
Been at trader joe's for a little while now. Can't say enough good things about this company and the smiles and laughter i get to provide in this store on a day to day basis with our customers and my coworkers is one of the best feelings. Happy to see TJs secure the win🙌🏼👍🏼
Wounderful....love the Foods they're so interesting but again my question is when will y'all do a Japanese or Japan convenience store episodes that would be fun to watch
Trader Joe’s absolutely makes better tasting processed foods, especially compared to 365 vs other brands WF sells, but if I had to pick only one from a **grocery store** perspective I’m going Whole Foods every time. (Chill with the plastic packaging on the produce, TJ!)
That peeled and ready to eat produce is a godsend for some people, though. I don't have the full use of my hands so cutting fruit myself is never going to happen.
@@LaTeaDie Great point! 100%! Very important to have options. And like Whole Foods has peeled/prepped fruits and veggies too-I’m not complaining about that-talking more like how at TJs almost all of the produce is packaged in plastic. Options!!!
I’m a Trader Joe’s employee watching this on my lunch break and this gave me the strength I needed to continue being overly nice and overbearing today!!
I hope you bought plane tickets for customers and asked about their SS number. You know, in a friendly way.
Lmaooo as a former TJ member I feel you
Bless you, Trader Joe's employee! I live in an apartment building that has a TJ's in the building and I love how helpful all the employees are.
the kindness is appreciated
Believe me..your kindness is absolutely appreciated.
I bought a brownie mix at TJs this weekend and the cashier said “im so excited for you, these are soooo good”
they really are scrumptious
@@helengrugett good 2 kno! thanks!
I love TJs so much 😭
Same , but at Aldi.
and he just couldn't hide it? :p
that green eyeshadow goes so well with emily's hair. love the look and glad to see emily again :)
I love her hair straightened!
yes! she is rocking those bangs and smokey eyes!! this should be her new regular look.
oh my god gorgeous!! i literally had to pause lol
I agree. Emily looks beautiful in this episode...As she always does!
Agreed! She looks stunning. 😍
I currently work at a TJs, this line cracked me up because it's SO true "The best part of going to Trader Joes is the going to the grocery store after it to get all the stuff you didn't get at Trader Joe's" - I get so many "Do you have (things normal stores have) questions?"
I work at TJs as well and yeah so true haha
I get asked almost twice a week if we have foil. I also work at TJs

And in fact, if I can, I'd rather get specialty food through internet with delivery, if I can get the brand I want at a reasonable price.
Should have given a final price comparison too. Would have been interesting to see how the ranked price wise along with your taste rankings.
Good point!
whole foods is ridiculously overpriced; trader joe's is reasonable.
Trader Joe’s pizza 4.99 vs Whole Foods 7.99
Trader Joe’s sausage 4.99 vs Whole Foods 7.99
Trader Joe’s Mac n cheese 3.99 vs Whole Foods Mac n cheese 6.99
Trader Joe Thai Veggies 4.79 vs Whole Foods thai veggies 7.79
Trader Joes Peanut butter cups 4.99 Vs Whole Food Peanut butter cups 7.99
thank you! finally somebody said it!
TJ's total: $23.75 3.03 points/dollar. Whole Foods total: $38.95 1.31 points/dollar. No contest.
Now, we need a Sam’s club vs Costco food feud!!
Fit Frugal Mom does these every once in a while. xox
Costco wins everytime
With my Walmart budget, I feel fancy walking into either a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.
Never been in either. There is a whole food not to far from me, but yeah it seems like a fancy place.
Costco has your pizza cooked and ready at a steady $9 vs basically everything else. Kirkland pizza low-key slaps.
Traders joes is surprisingly affordable, not many items are over 3 or 4 USD
@@rettbull9100 thought I was the only one to have never been in either
@@jerrybeard8995, nope, we don't have either where I live. We have Natural Grocers and Eatwell.
TJ's total: $23.75 or 3.03 points/dollar. Whole Foods total: $38.95 or 1.31 points/dollar. No contest!
best comment
Emily looked like she was having a blast with her character today. She was trying her best not to break.
Every Whole Foods employee on the daily🤣
foxy
Especially when she said the world is full of legs 😂
Emily nails all of her characters, always a blast to see her on.
@@michaeljones3974 as a former WF employee… ehh
Emily is rocking this look, she needs these whispy bangs and smokey eyes 😍
Think it might be a wig - she looks great, but she doesn’t “need” them, she is fine as she was.
@@redeye1016 yes! She's already beautiful.
Emily is so 🔥👀😍
It’s clip in bangs. They’re just *slightly* too red to match her actual hair. They matched them really really well though.
@@redeye1016 you don’t have to be so serious, nobody needs anything. She just looks so glam.
7:28 nah Rhett you guys are in your 40s, been friends since you were what, 6? Stayed friends throughout school, college, then both of you decided to move across the country to pursue this dream that ended up being Mythical?
You don't need blood relation to be family. Link is 100% your brother.
Emily is so versatile in her looks/characters but she is always breathtaking!
Link calling Rhett sis in response to brother is hilarious
It feels like that meme “he’s a little confused, but he got the spirit”

Not a troll. Just telling the truth . Sorry you live in delulu land@@Steve.._.
AH is overweight periodtttt@@Steve.._.
Fr hit a gym
obsessed with whole foods harlow. that sort of calm subdued energy really suits emily along with the hair/eyes combo.
Fully expecting Trader Joes to win by a lot, considering how much they've hated every 365 item in food ranking episodes
365 food is so bland🤐
@@meyouandsomesnacks It's those organic flavours of air and nothing.
Emily looks incredible this episode and cracked me up as always
As a former TJ crew member, I knew from the start that 365 was going to get CRUSHED. Still surprised at the chicken sausage, that might be my favorite thing in the store.
Wasn't cooked as well as those of whole foods.
The only thing I profoundly prefer over the usual store brands is the whole foods and sprouts deli for cold cuts.
No doubt about it, I've shopped at both several times and I'm always let down by 365 brand items. I was actually eating the TJ's peanut butter cups at the start of the show and when I saw them on the episode I knew whole foods had no chance. They're better than Reese's IMO.

They aren't related
That could get real dark, real fast. They're from North Carolina.
@@revan4130 technically we're all related.

How is no one talking about how glorious Emily’s hair is!!! GORGEOUS!
It’s a wig
A wig but she is looking gorgeous!
@@GiGi-dd5cr you got me there
Dude fr
She’s not wearing a wig, that’s her actual hair she just straightened it
They must do a Walmart vs Target food fued.
Whole Foods = great for when you’re actually planning to cook before eating.
Trader Joe’s = great for when you need a tasty, pre-prepared food you just want to warm up.
All of this is true except insert any other grocery store where it says Whole Foods. Whole Foods isn't even good for planning to cook a meal.
@@caseytilton2957 it's good for emptying your wallet
Whole Foods = when you want to look fancy while spending too much
TJ = when you want something good without cratering your budget
This is the most accurate description I've ever heard lol
Yes this is true
"Yes, from over there...where our friendship thrives." 🤣 love Link
Emily looks extra pretty today, and I love Matt's shirt!
His shirt is the Trader Joe's signature Hawaiian shirt.
Emily is hilarious as usual but this look is gorgeous!
Trader Joes is way better than Wholefoods 👌 Also, Emily's hair looks amazing 😲!
Definitely. Loving Emily's hair today.
@@larryepling To be fair, loving things about Emily is a full time job
It looks amazing I literally thought it was a wig!!!!
She's always been a good looking woman but it's crazy how a haircut can make her into someone you'd do a doubletake at.
It almost distracts from how funny she was, but she's always funny in these.
Rhett’s reaction to Link saying they’re better than Reese’s is so hilarious please 😂
This has to be the longest mythical summer I’ve ever experienced
It just doesn’t end!!!!!?
@@connartistt8 I know right!!
Sure does feel like it
A lot of their best episodes are from their Mythical Summers throughout the years in my opinion.
@@1waytickettopluto I understand that, I have to disagree though hahahaha
Rhett gave the Whole Foods potstickers a 6 and the Trader Joe’s a 7 and said there was two point difference for the 2% difference in sodium. Usually that’s a Link kinda thing to do
Right??? He literally equated a 10% increase with a 2% one - he gave it a 5x or 500% bump. Come on, Rhett! You can do better.
Just started the episode. I can already tell you now Trader Joe's is going to win. Not even a competition!
Compare walmart to target
@@redsoxgalhangout6113 Great Value has some sleeping bangers, though.
I work at Whole Foods and immediately knew Trader Joe’s was taking the win. And our prices are just getting ridiculous (as if they weren’t already ridiculous)
I also work at Whole Foods and totally agree lmao
*Amazon wants to know your location*
same here i work at whole foods also lmfao
Yes....such a bummer since Whole Foods is a lot closer to me! Sigh.
I work the Bakery Department at Whole Foods, our stiff is GOOD 👍 stuff.
Emily was so distracting the whole episode because of how gorgeous she looks 😩
Agreeeeed. OMG.
always!
You ain't lyin'
As a lover of both, I totally saw this coming. TJ's has the tastier items MOST of the time, but they also use a ton more salt and processed ingredients and that's why 😂

what processed ingredients? TJs has very few preservatives in their foods and all of them are naturally sourced to my knowledge
@@ARMTOASTAlot of trader joes frozen foods are very processed. It's a hit or miss in their frozen foods. Though they definitely also have healthy options.

And her hair was so gorgeous today!
Emily is awesome! She tweeted a while back about whether or not we’d be interested if she got her own show, so here’s hoping she gets one! I’d definitely watch anything she’s in!
EMILY NEEDS HER OWN SEGMENT! SHE IS SUPER LOVED AND GORGEOUS. I'm here for it. I'd watch every episode!
She's in mythical kitchen a lot more and goes even deeper with her characters
emily’s hair extensions are luxurious i gasped she looks so good
RICK BONIN! Loved to see Rhett so truly happy by saying Rick Bonin 😂😂😂
Rhett: Are they Brothers?
Also Rhett: Just think of us as partners.
Good reference.

Did they pay you to say that
I drive 1 hour through the mts of northern NM to shop at the Santa Fe TJ's. Worth the drive.
Peanut butter chocolates from around the world is something your expertise needs to judge! Whittakers peanut butter chocolate in New Zealand has to be a top 3?
Ain't gonna like, it would be better they used fix and fogg peanut butter or or pics (like they did with their peanut butter jelly chocolate).
Whittaker’s is number 1
Where in the world do these international peanut butter chocolates come from?
Link would love that. I'd love that so I could order them all.
Or just peanut dishes or deserts
“The world is full of legs”
God, i love emily😂
Y’all totally missed the opportunity to say “which grocer is grosser?”
"I have it on good authority that the chicken is at peace, and you can enjoy its flesh." WHAT A SENTENCE
I love Trader Joe’s! Won’t break the entire bank and their vibe is way better
Yeah probably because they aren't owned by Amazon lol.

Do you know Matt's IG?
Lol I was looking for a comment that mentioned this. For some reason that really hit a funny bone with me 😆
Trader Joe's crushes it. The prices are reasonable, items are always exciting to find new favorites weekly, and the employees are so helpful.
"Did you find everything okay?"
"Other than a parking spot."
"Yeah we don't have those."
Truer words have never been spoken
15:36 LMAO I was crying laughing Rhett was going bonkers! That was hilarious!! Rick Bonin’ lol. 17:13 “One big ol’ point for bonin’!!” WHY WONT HE STOP LMAOOOOO!! 18:00 IT JUST DOESNT STOP!!!
"But can i.... Take a picture................ of your feet?"
Hahaha, they are always so good in this segment xD
Trader Joe’s does have a dark peanut butter cup that is just so good.😋
It is! I do think it’s better than Reese’s tbh
Had fried rice from trader Joe's at a party the other day. I give it a 9/10 it was pretty good. First time I've ever had anything from trader Joe's
Most of their food is pretty good, and it's decently priced, but TJ's is over an hour away or we'd shop there more
We love their fried rice!
been having trader joes ever since i was born, can say their food is always a 9/10
Someone needs to tell Wholefoods that healthy food can be both delicious and budget-friendly. And healthy.
Y'all are in rare form today, and I absolutely love it!
BAHAHAH im full in for link calling Rhett sis and Rhett calling link brother. Hilarious 😂
oh my god, emily is making me feel things today
Loved the vibe this ep. Excited for another great season in two weeks!
Mythical kitchen should make a cookbook with the crew’s favorite foods. I’d buy that 🤷🏻♀
no
Don't forget a cookbook of all the "Will It" Yesses.
I would buy a 'will it...' cook book. I would love to know how they created the rootbeer chips.
I would of given an extra point for Emily's performance and awesome hair!
I love when they have Emily on there.
Emily is always so freakin beautiful, but this hairstyle complements and enhances her features so perfectly that I literally couldn’t do anything but stare her when she was on screen 😍👏🏼
I need to know what eyeshadow Emily is wearing, it's gorgeous
I also need the link for her wig I’m in awe
The trader joes mac n cheese bites are fire, one of my favorites.
and going by how Link kept burning his tongue, i think he agrees
Tbhh Emily looks really good in this episode😍
She always looks good wdym 🥰
“I bet Joe has been doing his share of bonin’” - that got me! 😂😂😂
DAYUM EMILY. That hairstyle is AMAZING on you! 🤩
I feel like they’re in a good mood in this ep. Love the laughs!
Omggg Emily looks A LOT like Nicole Kidman with this look!
I am starting to believe Emily can play any character lol
'From over there where our friendship thrives' such a good line to throw when you wanna mess with your friends. Hhahahah.
😂 your mythical crew is awesome. They make the whole show come together. Lovin it! 👍🤘
The rick bonin bit was so good 😂
“Well, cause they take it from the legs” was hilarious
It was great to see Bugsby and Darwin, Mia's mythical little beasts! Good mythical morning
17:53 He is giving it a point for Boning cause in the whole thing.......... Trader Joe was boning Rick Boning! 😆😂🤣
Whole foods is basically at a constant disadvantage due to trying to be a healthier option. It's good that it exists, but sometimes you want things to taste good, not good enough.
This episode was so chaotic and I love it
Cashiers at Trader Joe’s seem like they can make some kind of move on you at anytime
"How do you know the chicken came from the legs?" Here's my response: Since they can't run anymore.🤣
another episode of Link saying “smella that”. We need an archive
I always loved Trader Joe's and thought Whole Foods was an overrated store people pay more just to say they got Whole Foods and this confirms it 😂
trader joes has a great selection but their prices aren't too bad. the danger comes when you leave with the whole store in your cart
Loving this new thing where Rhett attempts to share fancy worded facts about the stores.
gmm and mythical kitchen used to be mine and my girlfriend's favourite things to watch every night. we're not together anymore so i still can't bring myself to sit through an episode yet but i wanted to thank you guys for all the laughter, inside jokes, references etc. maybe someday her and i will watch together again
Nothing like starting the week with coffee and GMM lol
We need Emily's en Stevie's hair routine!!! I am always impressed by their hair!!!
The giggly vibes in the last Act of this ep are immaculate
Been at trader joe's for a little while now. Can't say enough good things about this company and the smiles and laughter i get to provide in this store on a day to day basis with our customers and my coworkers is one of the best feelings. Happy to see TJs secure the win🙌🏼👍🏼
Y’all should do more of these I love these kind of videos
Rhett’s “☝🏼 precisely 😃” scratched that itch in my brain
Rhett's channelling his inner hulk Hogan, and link isn't sure about it 🤣
Whole Foods vs Trader Joe's 🍕🌭🧀🥟🍫
1:21 Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Wooow Emily looks amazing. Looove her hair. 💛💛
You should really do Trader Joe's vs. Aldi. They are owned by the same company.
Wounderful....love the Foods they're so interesting but again my question is when will y'all do a Japanese or Japan convenience store episodes that would be fun to watch
Oh y'all do have current videos yay I'm hooked on y'all's personality and sense of humor already🙏🏾❤
I haven't been to a Trader Joe's in several years, but I loved their frozen selections. The enchiladas and stuffed shells were my faves.
Wait, you have the option to go but don't?? Oh gosh but they're so amazing
You gotta love Rhett giving the PB cups a "Bonin's" Point
