- Welcome to Good Mythical More, we're hanging out with Bobby. We're talking 'bout Applebees. - Hey, it's Win Face. Not wine face. - I would prefer it be wine face. - Congratulations to Elizabeth, you win a mythical shirt. - Yeah, add it to your collection, girl! The more merch you wear, the more you get engaged, apparently. I don't know, she was like-- - Or your money back. - Oh, no. - Okay, so, Bobby. It has come to our attention
that you have worked at an Applebee's. - A few, actually. - Now you own a bunch, I hear. - That would be a little too triggering. I went out, and I opened up TGI Fridays just to say "Screw you, Applebee's." - How many Applebee's? - Three or four different ones. One in Springfield, Missouri, one in Branson, Missouri,
and two in Denver. - Branson, I bet you had your hands full. - Yeah, I used to work
at the one in Branson, and I'd sleep in my car at
night in the parking lot. And then I'd go and I'd work a whole day and I'd sleep in my
car in the parking lot, and then I'd work another full shift and then drive back to
Springfield, Missouri. - Oh, really, dang, you
were committed, man. - I was just poor. - So people would be
going into TGI Fridays, or they'd be leaving, and then they'd start knocking on your window-- - You mean Applebee's? - Yeah, about to say, how
did Fridays get in there? - Did I say Fridays? - Yeah, you did. Did I say the other restaurant? - No, no, I would pull down behind the Family Dollar,
which is right next door. - Yes, that's not suspicious at all. - What is this game, how does this work? - So I'm gonna read,
or we're going to read, we'll go down the line, facts, and if it's an actual Applebee's fact, we're gonna say "Bees!" If we think it's made up,
we're gonna say "Puh-leaze!" - And what does Fridays
have to do with this? - Whoever gets the most right answers gets a seven dollar app,
and at some point, Bobby, you're gonna need to
just stop and rearrange one thing on our set or redecorate however you see fit, because hey, we're a great team, we won. - We won.
- We won. - First one. - Applebee's goes through approximately 10000 pounds
of apples every year. How many pounds of bees
do they go through? Just for their apple fritter dessert. - I think that's bees. - I didn't even know they
had an apple fritter dessert. Once I fill up on those riblets, man. - So they do have apple fritter's. - Riblets, you have a riblet basket. It's like little discs of bone. - Oh, you're right, I
blocked a lot of that out of my memory, sorry, Applebee's. That was, god, that was 96. - Okay, did they have an
apple fritter at that time? - There's no, no, not that much, man. - Can you read off the whole
menu from memory right now? - The tequila lime
chicken was my favorite. - Oh, nice. - All right, who's right here? - [Stevie] This is false. - Oh, is it only 1000? - [Stevie] The fun fact
that I have written is "We have no idea how many apples "they go through every year." - Well when I was doing my research today on Applebee's facts, that
is actually a fact online, but I think it was 1000. - You know what, Bobby,
you read the next one here. - The original Applebee's was
located in Decatur, Georgia, in a building that used to
be an old Judy's Hamburgers. - Old Judy's Hamburgers, I like how you turned that accent on. - Oh, that sounds like something
that you would've learned in the orientation the
first day at Applebee's. - Maybe? - They sit you down in a room, and they-- - They sit you down and
tell you about Judy, and her hamburgers, and
how Applebee's came in and just took over. - Yep, and how her ghost
still haunts us to this day. - See, I just say Decatur and that accent just comes right back out. - I think this is true. - The original was definitely in Georgia, but I think it might have been Atlanta, I think it's Atlanta. - Well then you should
say "Pul-leaze" then. - Maybe puh-leaze? - [Stevie] It's true. - Aha, gotcha! - [Stevie] Here's a fun fact,
this is really kind of sad, Judy's was sued by Wendy's and they were put out of business. - Aw, was Judy's redheaded too? - Can only have one
redheaded woman sell food. - Start to think maybe
something that you think is just not working. - Just develop an idea,
just get a general idea what's wrong with our set. - We feel like we've honed it in, but there may be just, no rush, I'll ask another question,
but you just be perusing the-- - You saw something, didn't
you, I can see it in your eyes. - I did, but then I remembered it's kind of a family show, so, I'm not gonna talk about
when you sit on that sofa you sit on the (bleep). - Ah, no one's gonna think of that, no one's gonna think about it. - The original Applebee's
was called TJ Applebee's Rx for Edibles and Elixirs. - That is true, bees. - You say that with such
confidence that I cannot-- - TJ Applebee's Rx, so
prescriptions for edibles? They sold edibles? - Yeah, it was big. - I don't think that's
what it meant back then. I think edibles were just things you ate. In general. - Well, I mean, if you're gonna, are you fooling us, and you're gonna change at the last second? - I don't think he can do that. - [Stevie] It's true. - See he did know that, so he was. - Thank god they changed
their name, right? - All right, you still looking,
you have another thing? Do you have your thing? Rhett, you read the next question. - I got it right here. Applebee's is owned by IHOP. - This is true, 2007, I believe. - So you followed the Applebee's story even after you left. - They're based, the headquarters
is based in Kansas City. So it's a Missouri company. - Now, is this IHOP,
International House of Prayer, or International House of Pancakes? - I think they're one and the same. - All right, well unless
you're doing the long play and you're gonna start
flipping the stick on us, you're not being very
competitive, and I'm gonna agree. - [Stevie] It's true, they
have the same parent company called Dine Brands Global,
based in California, which was initially
founded as IHOP in 1958. - Wow, okay, go way back. - Maybe it's that box, I don't know, the stuff in that box is just kinda, is it just thrown in there? - [Bobby] It's definitely,
yeah, that poor armadillo is just in his naughty place, just having a look in the corner. - Yeah, he's not. - [Bobby] He needs to be seen, he needs to live his best life. - But maybe that's not
it, it could be anything. - [Bobby] Oh, is that an Oscar? - Yeah, we got one of those. It's very light and flammable. Veterans eat for free at
Applebee's on Veteran's Day. - I think veterans eat for
free every day at Applebee's, but that's still definitely true, then. - Whoa, every day? - So a trick question
that they didn't realize wasn't actually a trick question? - I could be wrong on that,
but I know they at least eat for free on Veteran's
Day, if not every day. - [Stevie] It's true,
but now I'm wondering about the other thing that you said, so we're gonna look that up, too. - I mean, then people would
be there all the time. 'Cause the menu, as we
know, is so extensive. - So good. - I mean some people would enlist just for that perk. Not for the free college tuition, just for the free Applebee's. - [Stevie] Yeah, it's
just on Veteran's Day. - They have a recruiter office in the back of every Applebee's. All right, you know what,
just feel free, go for it, we've got two more
questions, but I just want-- - You guys should be much more proud of your Oscar than you are. Your Oscar needs to be
right, what is it doing? Oh, thought it was like,
it's holding a wreath. And then we're gonna put
this little guy down there. See, the feng shui is much better now. - Okay, wow, all right. - A little braggy, but we'll go for it. We were trying to humble brag it. - Redecorated by Bobby Berk. Right here, you saw it happen. - Many news articles
have blamed millennials for killing chain
restaurants like Applebee's. In an effort to convince millennials to reconsider Applebee's, they came up with the Dollarita, a dollar margarita special. - Oh, those millens. - I know it's true that the millennials don't like the sit-down chain restaurants, what's wrong with y'all? - But they love margaritas. - They do, margaritas good,
chain restaurants bad. - Is it pandering, are they
pandering to the millennials? Will that work? - They're begging them. - Let's just get an idea, we got a lot of millennials in here. Do you guys like margaritas? Everybody likes
margaritas, yes, it's true. - [Stevie] It is true,
and the CEO of Applebee's claims that millennials killing
casual dining restaurants is false news. - Oh, I wonder who he voted for. - All right, I'll read this last. Now don't tell us the answer
to this one if you know it. Matt Damon has done voiceover
for Applebee's commercials. Do you know this? - I don't know if he has, but I do know that Kerry's boyfriend on Sex and the City, the one, Aiden, Aiden used to do
voiceovers for Applebee's, because for years I
would hear the commercial and "Why do I know that voice?" And finally I realized it was Aiden. - That is a good feeling, when you know that you know something, but you can't experience
the knowledge of it. - It's a good feeling or
it's a horrible feeling, depending on your star sign, maybe. - I would believe it if
Matt Damon did commercials for Applebee's Korea,
you know what I'm saying? 'cause a lot of times you find out-- - Because his Korean is good? - No, because a lot of times-- - It's voiceover, it's not commercials. - I know, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, because George Clooney is in all these commercials
in Japan or somewhere. - True, but I don't
think he speaks in them. - No, Matt Damon speaks fluent Korean. But he can only talk
about Applebee's things. - He learned it while
filming The Bourne Identity. - He says "Tequila lime
chicken" in Korean. - I'd buy that. - I say puh-leaze. - [Stevie] It is false. But, John Corbett has done voice-- - Is that Aiden from Sex and the City? - [Stevie] It is, yup. And also, Wanda Sykes. - I've heard Wanda, Wanda makes me hungry. - Speaking of hungry, I am hungry. - I declare. - Bobby, thanks for hanging out with us, it's been a blast. - I hope I was, my edits to your stage, really made a difference. Like I do every day on Queer Eye. - I am right in front
of it most of the time, but that's cool, 'cause I can do this. - I think we'll keep it there
until you leave, honestly. Put us up on your wall, y'all, Rhett and Link posters are
available now at Mythical.com.
