(playful theme music) – We are back, so are you, what are the odds? – Now you’ve probably heard of the site Snopes.com, it’s a site that presents the facts around a particular issue to help confirm or deny crazy stories, unbelievable stuff. – Comes up in conversations with us many times actually. – Sometimes we’ll be at a party, and somebody will say something, and– – You know how we’re at parties. – Partying all the time. – Partying all the time. – And they’re like really, and then I’m like, snopes.com, that’ll clear it up. Because they try to get down to just the facts, just unbiased, – ‘Cause there’s a lot of – present what is known about an issue. – not that floating around, especially on the internet. So that’s a big thing. Now for us, what we’ve decided to do is present a commonly held belief, or a fact, from an article or whatnot and then we know what Snopes says about it, but the other person doesn’t, so we’re gonna present that to each other, and see if we can guess and be on the same page as Snopes. Why don’t you go first? – What we’re saying is the side of the truth, that’s what we’re saying, Snopes represents the truth. – Yeah, they are reliable, I believe. – Link, is it true that when women, now this, we’re getting right into it today, just giving you a little head’s up. – When womeN? – When women live, – Now I will point out neither one of us are one of those. – Right, but we know them. – Yeah, we know – We know several. – Plenty of ’em, some of them intimately, one of them intimately. – Oh gosh, could you just keep some things in your mind. – Why don’t you talk, I’ll listen. – Is it true that when women live or work closely with each other, their menstrual cycles synchronize? – Now you’ve heard this, I heard it in middle school. – Everybody hears, this ’cause you’re taught in middle school, I think it’s like a fourth-grade curriculum thing, a whole semester spent on – Nobody taught me. – Menstrual cycle synchronization. – Our little friend group, like the girls in middle school told me. – They perpetuated this fact, or myth. – They were all synced up. They were like, we’re all synced up. That’s what they would say, and they would do that. We’re all synced up. And I was like, I don’t know what that means, and then they explained it, I was like, okay, wow. Is it true though?- – I’ve assumed it was true, and then I’ve gone so far in conversations, I think, with other people when you were there about us, and how we started working this theory that we both got in a bad mood at a certain type of the month, certain time of the month, you and I. And that our menstrual cycles were in sync. – You didn’t tell me about this. – You were there for it, don’t deny it. We talked about how Rhett and I don’t have menstrual cycles, but we seem like we do, and they’re in sync. – It’s like men have nipples. – Right. – And what do they do? – We have something, something’s going on for us, – We have a period too, – That gets in sync, right. – But it’s subtle. – It’s subtle. – It’s subtle and it accomplishes nothing, just like our nipples. – I’m not making this up, we did have this conversation to say, well if that’s true of women, and we assumed that it was, then we think it’s true of us, too. So therefore, yeah, I’m afraid of it seeming sexist, but I don’t know why. So I’m just gonna say, yeah, I do think it’s true, I think it happens. – How about Snopes? – What does Snopes say? – Snopes says it’s unproven, which is not as definitive as you wanted it to be. Basically, – It seems, if it was true, it seems pretty easy you could prove it. – Okay, there is a study, there is one study, that was done back in 1971 at an all-female college, where they had these women, like 130 women that were all living together, and they said that their cycles has been synced up, but– – All 130? Right, ’cause that’s what would happen. – Well, not all, I mean just like a substantial number, enough to think there was a correlation here. – Yeah, beyond a standard deviation. – But, what are you just trying to throw out scientific terms? – I don’t know what that means. – Just let me just say the things that I’ve learned. – Why do you gotta call me on it? – But it’s unproven, because – You know, a standard deviation – It turns out that when they went back and analyzed that one study that it was very inconclusive, and they thought that the data had not been interpreted correctly, and multiple studies since then have not been able to prove a link. What they think that it is, is you know how like when you’re at a stoplight, and you got your blinker on, and your blinker’s going, and you hear your blinker, and you see the blinker of the person in front of you, is this just me? – And it’s in sync. – And you’re like, oh, it’s in sync. And then you wait for a while, and you’re like, no, it’s not in sync, but then you’re like, oh, it is in sync, and then you’re like, no, it’s not sync because they’re going at different rates, – It’s the blinker thing. – But then they’re, oh, look at what I’m doing, I kind of created situation myself right there. – What’s wrong with us? I don’t know what happened. I think it’s all the cheese. – Yeah, too much cheese. But no, – We’ve got cheese brain. – That’s what happens with women, okay. I’m about to get in trouble here, but I’m just telling you, – You women. – What science says, – Are like looking at blinkers. – What science says is that women get together and they’re like, it’s my time of the month, I don’t know how they communicate that, and then another girl’s like, that’s my time of the month, and they’re like, oh, we’re best friends and we’re in sync, and they talk about it, and they get this perception of being in sync, because it’s gonna happen, but then they get out of sync, and they don’t talk about it, and then they talk about it again when they get in sync, and there’s a perception of synchronization, but it’s not scientific. – I get it. – It’s unproven. – I get it. – So drop it. – I’m dropping it, but I can’t figure out why I feel disappointed. – It wasn’t something you should have hoped for. – Exactly, so I don’t know– – You have two ladies in your house. – I don’t know, I guess for efficiency standpoint, I don’t know. – We should just move on. – I literally feel a little disappointment. – To a less controversial issue. – Like I feel like I’ve been lied to, maybe that’s it. – What’s your thing? – Alright, I got another one, much lighter, this is not gonna get us in trouble with anybody, except maybe horses. – Oh gosh. – You’re already in trouble with cats. An article went around on Facebook, September 26, 2017, that’s this year. – 26, 2017. – On a site called BoredPanda, which is a website dedicated mostly to stories about interesting and adorable animals. – Been there many times. – They posted a story with the title, If You Ever Feel Sad, Just Remember that Horses Can Grow Mustaches. Can this be true? Have you ever heard that a horse can grow a mustache? – Technically, don’t all horses have mustaches, because they’re covered in hair? It’s just it blends in with the rest of the hair. This is a non-issue. – By my definition of a mustache, I think you’re still saying that no. – A pronounced, a pronounced mustache? – Yeah, ’cause that’s what, when I look at the article that’s what I’m excited about, because they say, if you ever feel sad, remember horses can grow mustaches, so how big would the mustache need to be to make you happy that it were on a horse, pretty big. Pretty big. – Yeah, I don’t think there’s any mustache horse that’s gonna pull me out of a deep spiral of any kind. – The mustache will never be that big. – No. – On a horse. – No, maybe if I got to touch it in person, but if I just, just the knowledge of it is not gonna do anything for me. – What if it was big enough that you’d have to grab it, you could grab it, grab both sides of the mustache? – That would make me a little happy. – Do you think it exists? – No. – It does. – Oh really?! No it doesn’t. – Look at these pictures. – You got pictures? – Yeah look, there’s one right there. – Holy moly. – [Link] That is a freaking huge mustache on a horse. – [Rhett] That’s a mustache, that is definitely a pronounced mustache. – It is common in a breed of horse called the gypsy vanner, not in all of them, but in many of them. Also, to a lesser degree, that’s a blonde one right there. – He dyed it. – No they didn’t. – That’s just it dude. – He also braided his hair, how do you do that with hooves? – [Link] It comes out that way. And look at that one, that’s a small, that’s like a refined mustachio. – That’s a real pretty horse. – To a much lesser degree in one called the shire, which is also where the hobbits live, but it’s a mustached horse. Look at that, it looks like it’s pasted on. – I don’t know, I am happy, I gotta say, I didn’t think these would make me happy, I wasn’t sad before, oh my goodness, what. – [Link] It’s glori–, and yeah, some of ’em get huge. That one looks like the wig, like that Eleven wore in Stranger Things. – I’m embarrassed for that one. They do have big teeth, though, they’d like to cover ’em up. – So the grooming of it is something that I guess the owners do, or something like that. – Oh you know horses don’t do it themselves. – Yeah, ’cause that one’s just kind of like – Okay, well hopefully we have – a wig just hanging. – cleared up some of these controversies for you. Sorry ladies. – And all of my disappointment with the ladies has been turned to happiness with the horses. – Yeah, we made a lot of ladies mad, and a lot of horses happy. I don’t know, well maybe we should have just shut up before we said that. – Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing. – You know what time it is. – [Together] Good Mythical Morning. – I’m Rhett. – And I’m Link. – [Together] And we’re in Utah, and it’s time to spin The Wheel of Mythicality. – I don’t remember making that. – How the crap did we do that in Utah? – Click the bottom link to watch today’s episode from the beginning. – And click the top link to watch us use this cat licking product, licky brush, on Barbara in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where The Wheel of Mythicality is going to land.
