GMM 1277.3: 3 Subscription Boxes You Need (GAME)

( music playing ) ( whispering ) Welcome back. When you hear the phrase “subscription box service,” maybe you think of food services like Blue Apron or Loot Crate, but it turns out the subscription box game is much more than food. How much more? You ’bout to find out, Rhett. Here’s how this is going to work. I will read a description of a subscription box service, and you will have to guess whether it is real or if it’s fake. If you get three right, you get a special subscription box tailored just for you. Oh, I like things tailored for me. If you don’t, I’m going to get one tailored for me. Because I’m a big man. I’m hard to fit. – Is it close? – You gotta get three. – Hmm? – Is it close? I’m not giving you any other hints. Do you love mystery novels but also love paying for something every month? – Oh. – Then the Hunt A Killer box is for you. Sign up for this service, and every month you’ll receive a mysterious box from a serial killer, filled with clues about how to catch them. It’s just like being a real detective, except the only thing you’re at risk of dying of is loneliness. – Is this– – Hunt A Killer. Is this real or fake? So I’m assuming that they’re not working directly with a real serial killer… – that this is fictitious. – You know what assuming will do. That’d get you killed. ( trilling ) – Um… – So you’re saying fake? I’m not saying fake. No, no, no. I think this is an excellent idea. This is ver– People are into this. We have a fascination with death in our culture. Sadly, that’s true. So I’m going to say this is real. You’re right, Rhett. We have one of them here. Let’s explore it a second. The Hunt A Killer box. I’m gonna put this here. It’s kind of small. If you open this up– “Before opening your mystery text, hack to the number.” And then you open it. They give you a notepad. A journal just like a killer would have. And then a pin there so you remember the thing, and then you’ve got, like, a special dossier over here. There’s– There’s a letter. Oh, this isn’t from the killer. This is for me and my purposes. No, that’s for you to take notes. And look at all this stuff, man. There’s “Endangered Cat Terrorizes Local Housewife,” and then on the back, “Body Found on Weise Island.” Do I put a sample in this cup? I don’t know. You gotta read the stuff. And then there’s– there’s, like, a– Here’s a piece of evidence. Pretty awesome. Check that out later on your time. The point right now is that you got a point. Let’s move on to the second question. – Yes. – “Let’s face it. People have been judging your lamps.” – Hm. – They may not admit to it, but it’s true. They think your lamps are boring,” Rhett, “but those days can be over because when it comes to lamps, we’ve got a bright idea. Introducing Sir Lamps-A-Lot, the only place to get a lot of lamps, sir. Sign up for this subscription box and receive the hippest, ‘brand-newiest’ lamps twice a year.” Even twice a year is too often for lamps. – You know what I’m saying? – Real or fake? I mean, twice a year, it’s just like, ugh, “Oh, another lamp? What are we gonna do, put it next to the other lamp?” That would be cool, though. Like corner o’ lamps? You don’t like Sir Lamps-A-Lot as a name that maybe we made up? In my house there would be a Corner O’ Lamps. Put it in the corner with the other lamps and– – Real or fake? – Fake. You’re right and your reasoning is sound. I just wish you would share that with my wife. Christy, I swear, brings home a new lamp every month. Do you have a lamp corner? She doesn’t have a subscription service, and no, I don’t want a lamp corner. What do you do with the old lamps? She puts them in the closet. – Oh. Closet O’ Lamps. – I have a closet of lamps that we don’t lose– use. That’s nice. You’re two for two. It’s a bright closet. “Death– it comes for us all. And one day it will come for all at once. I speak of the apocalypse. Will you be caught, along with the masses, when the Reaper’s boney hand scoops up all that breathes? Or will you be safe and sound and ruler of the “afterscape” because you signed up for Apocabox.” – Yep. – “For the low price of 50 bucks a box, a man named Creek Stewart will send you a box full of hand-picked survivalist gear. Apocabox. Just because everyone else dies doesn’t mean you have to. – Creek Stewart. – Real or fake. That’s what I’m keying in on. ‘Cause this is obviously a great idea. Obviously. I mean, interestingly, us preppers, we’re a little picky. You speaking of you and Creek? Yeah, me and Creek. We don’t like to have things curated for us. We like to make researched decisions, but if Creek is trustworthy, and a man named Creek– assuming it’s a man– uh, is trustworthy. Oh, I want this to be real, so I’m going to say yes. Your dreams are coming true, man. Creek Stewart is real! And this is his box. It is heavy. It is heavy. Open this up, man. Open it that way. there you go. Bam. Look at this right in here. – No-no-no-no-no! Hey, hey. – Look at that. – It’s a knife that– – Give me that frickin’ knife. It also is a garden trowel. – And a ruler? – Yeah. You can measure how much rain is on the ground. Look at that right there. It’s got, like, a depth meter. Now, we’re going to explore the rest of this in “Good Mythical More.” I know you wanna do it now. I’ll just stand here and hold the knife. – You’re three for three, man. – Yeah. “If you’re like me, you live in constant fear of the billions of germs lurking on every possible surface that exists. Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do to ultimately defeat them. The germs win. They always win. But that doesn’t mean you can’t go down fighting. Introducing Squix Box, the subscription box that sends cleaning products right to your door, probably because you’re afraid to leave your house because of germs.” – Real or fake? – Cleaning products to your door? Every month. There’s a big market for this. Real. How real? So real. You got it right, and you know what? I’m in the market for some Squix. You got it? Wow, that’s the biggest box yet. Not a sponsor. – Let me– – Oh, goodne– It’s already open. Check this out. – Look at that. – Candle in there? It smells– It smells like… a hospital. You just– You– You destroyed my candle. I wanted to pull the candle out with my knife. I thought that would be a cool trick. All right, Rhett, got some bamboo in here. You can put these in your dishwasher. Let’s bring out Rhett’s subscription box. Have fun with that later, Link. Leave that there for me, though. Rhett, what did you win? Let’s find out. Oh, my goodness. It’s so big. Open it, buddy. You earned it. Happy Cotton Candy Day, Daddies. My favorite person! You won the game, Daddy, and now you’re a big boy. You want a sweet nothing, Daddy? Since you won and you’re a big boy. Yeah. ( heavy breathing ) When I– When I was in the box, I turned it into a potty. Didn’t know you were going to be in there. One of these days I’m going to make you eat out of my trash, and it’s going to be the best day of your life. I love that man. Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing. You know what time it is. We are Rodrigo. – Santiago. – Emilio. And we are in Mexico, and there’s a rooster behind us, and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – ( rooster crows ) – Whoa.
