a Scottish fisherman finds a 98 year-old message in a bottle let’s talk about that I’m Chris good mythical morning today’s episode is brought to you by Smule makers of the sing karaoke app congratulations to awesomeness for winning the my hair it goes karaoke contest we’re gonna play her entry at the end of this episode and today we’re announcing a new karaoke contest where you can win a mythical good mythical morning t-shirt there it is right there there’s not a person in it but it looks kind of you can be in it when they pour cover the facebook song using the scene carry all details really good screw yes I had a dream about you last night Rhett I know I was there oh yeah you do remember it no all right well tell me about it well you know I was nope not right I walked into this living room and everything it was like a really clean living room but it looked like it was out of the 70s I’ve been cleaning and you come in the room and you were like I have got a surprise for you guess who is here coming right now you can meet him here he is and a guy comes out completely bald dude old guy didn’t recognize him but I I felt like I should know who he was as I was like oh I’m so happy to see you I can’t believe it and I think you could tell by the look on my face that I didn’t know who he was and so you’re like it’s Conway Twitty the legendary country music singer and I was like oh who is a dead that’s what and that’s and be not bald no right so I was like ah I thought you were dead and I was like patting him on the back in fact Conway Twitty ‘s hair is probably his coop he’s probably still on his skeleton I mean I’ve had to get more bit but he only died like 10 years ago and you hired me I had a and then I go and I was I was really excited to see him especially realizing that he wasn’t dead and then I go into another room and I’m hiding and he forgets that I’m there oh my does ya commonly forgets that I’m there hello darlin hello darlin nice to see you it’s bad isn’t I’m hiding out the room spying on Conway Twitty it puts a wig on and he and he starts talking in the way that I knew him to talk in a raspy voice in a raspy voice like this and that was all I remember the dream but I was it was a joyful experience you’ve never been this far before that’s all okay so so that’s uh Conway that’s my country always witty for ten minutes my dream in real life is to meet Merle Haggard if you have any connections let us know seriously a North Sea fisherman has set a world record that’s not news happens every day but today by scooping up a bottle that has carried a message in the ocean for almost 98 years trying to get the ocean water out of my ear did you say 98 years yeah and I was you know I was kind of hoping this was like you know a message in a bottle from his great-grandmother to his great-grandfather about she always loved him and didn’t really cheat on him or something you know something romantic yeah but it wasn’t that it was a scientific experiment oh really back in 1914 the Scottish government I was doing some research yeah and the way they wanted to figure out was they wanted to tell long it would take to find a message in a bottle 98 years no they released eighteen hundred and ninety I don’t know whether it is didn’t do 1900 a fight broke 10 of them bottles into the ocean at once and these weren’t like from like you know if they did this a day it would be like from school kids you know like they would get a bunch of elementary school kids yeah yeah over in Reseda yeah like you sent them out to the or to the world that’s not you wanted to get middle school kids they get to do too many fun things like messages and bottles and pushing out into space this is just straight-up research you with scientific stuff that went into the bottle well it was really just a letter and it was dear so-and-so whoever finds this please tell us when and where you found this because we are tracking the ocean currents oh man this this is pretty anticlimactic but the fact that it and we’re also a middle school that would’ve made it better yeah all right like you’re saying if you pull it up and it’s some gut you know it’s just a letter of desperation I’m I’m dying this is I’m trapped in Atlantis withholding me my last bit of breath I am writing this letter from this deserted island if you find this rescue me it wasn’t that exciting but interestingly first of all they did not float and I think this is one of the reasons that they lasted so long is that they had engineered these things the end the scientists had engineered them so that they would float near the bottom of the seabed because they were testing undersea kurnitz well they put kilts on them that’s what the Scottish scientist do so it kills on everything weighs it weighted it down with a with a plague pills I don’t think that’s actually true and it actually looked very decorative you know in the whole ceremony when they sent them off and it’s a potpourri in it had a letter in it it went to the bottom of the ocean and I think what ended up happening is it probably got lodged on the seabed at some point and this guy’s going around fishing for something with a net that goes along the bottom of the ocean bottles and he gets a bottle turning on a cycling effort there too yeah I don’t think so turns out that his friend who operates or sometimes pilots what’s the correct word for manning a ship commands commands a shift same exact ship five years ago he set the world record by finding another one of these bottles and then his buddy comes and this guy he talked about how this guy is all into holding this record but then Andrew leaper his buddy comes along and finds the oldest one oh this is like me and you this is like you finding the oldest message in the world in a bottle and then like five years later I’m like I found an older one man what you gonna do about it I mean it’s kind of sucks a little bit mm-hmm the only way you can make that up to me would introduce me to a living Conway Twitty so that’s pretty amazing now I’ve never launched a I was gonna say a bottle rocket I have launched a bottle rocket but I’ve never launched a message in a bottle yet because I’ve never been in that amount of desperation and I’ve never been a Scottie sign message in a bottle rocket there’s an idea but what we have last very long right what we have done and I know that you know this because you were there we have we’ve made a time capsule which is kind of the same you put something in a Oh Clinton is all of a sudden on the sea I remember this let us know if you ever put a message in a bottle or made a time capsule because that’s what we did if you’ve watched our documentary looking for miss Locklear you’ll seeing as part of the opening sequence we reenacted some fond memories from our childhood one of which was when we buried the time capsule and I don’t know what we were thinking cuz what I remember is what we portrayed in the movie also is that we put it in an old toilet paper tube first of all just right off the bat that’s biodegradable is it that’s good paper and yes opposed to put it in paper it was yeah and then we put duct tape on either end so I put duct tape on one end of the of the paper towel well of the toilet how I roll is that what you call toilet paper thing and then what we put inside we put in a GI Joe man remember that it was to be more specific it was medic the African American yeah doctor yes from from GI Joe we had to put his arms up in order to get him into the tube and then we put him in there and we put a pack of NAB’s which if you’re not from the South I know we mentioned this before but NAB’s are those little square cheese crackers like cheese and peanut butter how come they don’t do that combination anywhere else in the world cheese and peanut butter it’s only in NAB’s hmm yeah cuz you don’t think about it that way and I don’t why would you put it in a time capsule that only Earth are you putting it in a biodegradable container you’re putting a perishable good of course I think probably last year or so yeah lots of preservatives and do you remember the third thing that we put in the time capsule letter to aliens yeah you remember what it said if you find this good for you just know that please don’t harm us I don’t know what you do it but I think the bigger question is why put a letter to aliens in a time capsule I guess the assumption is that some sort of Armageddon situation happens and then aliens are just busy taking over everything and like he’s like digging crackers maybe we should not destroy these people well it’s too late you know it’s like because they like GI Joe figures in nads and they took the time to write us a letter well I think we were thinking we were saving the human race but the interesting thing about Liam’s dick here we didn’t put a sign over it we dug it up the next day that pretty much defeats the entire purpose literally the next day we go back out there oh yeah here on the side it was it was in a field first of all I think it was it was in a tobacco field but it was just off the side I think we had enough sense to not put it right in the place that was gonna be plowed up probably not but I think we started thinking I remember or at least I hope I remember being smart thinking because you weren’t perishable it’s biodegradable and it’s in a field that is plowed yearly maybe we should go pick dig it up you know this isn’t gonna work well I just think you know the it’s fun to bury it but then it’s it’s you know you don’t experience the complete joy of it until you dig it up I mean and why wait yeah especially when there’s something if you’re hungry it’s not like it’s gonna change and there’s positives the contents are gonna be exactly the same if you wait ten years if you dig wait the next and they won’t even be edible at that point right yeah dig it up the next day so let us know if you’ve done that but the other thing we’re thinking is let’s do it again let’s do a mythical time capsule now we’re starting restarting Friday means meal which actually I think there’s gonna be Thursday means mail right meaning tomorrow yeah okay so you have less than 24 hours to send us something that we may or may not put in time capsule no yeah you have the next few weeks but mail is something and our idea is we’ll take some of the things you mail us if we deem them worthy and also small enough right to go in the mythical time capsule this will be a fun community building exercise and this time bury something together this time there’s a couple of things number one no non-perishable goods or perishable goods only make up your mind which do you want only stuff that won’t perish okay I’m with you on that the exterior of the the makeup of the capsule is gonna be something that lasts like thousands of years just in case okay so like plastic or something and then the third thing you notice and it’ll be about this big so you probably don’t want to do something it’s like it can fit within a five inch or what is that like or you keep moving it choose it’s like a game at the State Fair choose the size okay that’s what you chose that’s the size they’re going with square needs to fit in a square about as big as the top of this microphone keeps getting smaller and the third thing is is we’re gonna place it somewhere that won’t be ploughed up I mean maybe on some public land somewhere and maybe we’ll give the location and what we’ll decide how long to bear your stuff all that stuff later all we know now is mail is stuff just because you want to or if you wanted to be in a time capsule you should let us know why and it needs to be an awesome reason I think we also need to put predictions a lot of people put predictions that’s good like a letter to aliens maybe we should do that again yeah we should do that we into this time maybe it’ll actually be found if we leave it long enough by the time the alien invasion takes place alright what is this thing gonna land on the secret spot not today bye or Jason you know what Jason this thing is not landed on a secret spot you’re in charge of these secret spots this is obviously your fault you’re fired you’re fired what if where’s he going was he was he yeah you’re taking the camera because you can’t do that don’t take the camera nevermind we were joking to rehired ears they are a little bit embarrassing well there are this hi I’m six foot nine making me a giant we speak
