Robots are taking over this show. – Let’s talk about that. (bright music) – Good mythical morning. – Today we’re letting a supremely intelligent robot write our show for not the first, not the second, but the third time. – Which might get you thinking that this is all some ploy so win digital brownie points with the robot overlords who will inevitably rule this planet following a sky net-esque apocalyptic event. – Yeah, you might think we’re hoping this episode brings a sparkle to their lovely dead beautiful eyes so that will be kept alive as court jesters. – But that’s not why we’re doing this at all. – Right, we just sincerely love robots. – Robots are so hot. – [Rhett] It’s time for “A Robot Made Me Do It, Part 3.” – We inputted a slew of GM episode titles into an AI generator and the new titles it created were pretty wild. Apparently these are all the ideas that artificial intelligence thinks would make a good episode of GMM based on what we’ve done in the past. We then took three of those AI titles, interpreted them as best we could and turned them into mini episodes. – Mini, not like a lot, but mini like small. – Mini scales. At the end of each one, we’re gonna decide if the AI came up with a good episode or not by declaring AI all hail or AI big fail. – Not that we would ever doubt you almighty AI. – Of course not. All right, let’s get to the first episode idea, the AI generated. It’s time for “Taste Test Challenge, Pizza Hut vs Trader Joe’s vs Abuela’s.” – As you can see, we can’t. – Okay, this one was pretty self-explanatory. – Right. – We’re gonna be tasting things from Pizza Hut, Trader Joe’s and Abuela, which is just grandmother in Spanish, but not just any grandmother. This is actually Chase’s Aunt Patricia, who is a grandmother to his first cousins once removed. Is that right, Chase? – [Chase] Yeah, yeah, my cousins’ kids. – Okay, cousins kids. – What? Okay. So I’m told that before us we have pasta. – [Stevie] Yes, you have three pastas. Go ahead and- – So we’re looking for- – [Stevie] Fork those into your mouth. – We’re looking for the grandma made. – That’s a mug and that’s a pasta, that’s a pasta there and here’s a fork. – Oh, gosh. – There’s a pasta. – [Link] Is it, is it noodles. – [Rhett] I don’t know. I’ll let you do your thing and then I’ll go in. – [Stevie] It’s not spaghetti. You could just stab it. – Oh, it’s mac. – No, that was meaty. It’s ziti. It’s meaty ziti. – That’s good whatever that is. – Am I in a different one? Yeah. Oh. Mm, okay. – Man. – One of them is definitely better than the other one, but then there’s, how many are there, three? Yeah, ’cause of the AI. Oh, okay. You’re still on number two? – I’ve been having a good time eating. Did you put your fork in this thing and spin it? Because that probably didn’t do much for you. – I spun the first one and Stevie said, “Don’t spin it.” – Okay. – All right, I’m good to go. – I got some opinions about these. – I know which one tastes the worse. – [Stevie] Okay, you’re gonna put your hand over Abuela Pat’s. – No, we’re gonna flag it. – [Stevie] You’re gonna, oh, gosh, this could go, please, please nicely. Three, two, one. (Link screams) (crew laughs) – I think we’re in agreement. – [Stevie] This is interesting. – Can we take our? – [Stevie] Yeah, you can take your blindfolds off. – Oh, yeah, Abuela. – [Stevie] You were both correct. That’s Abuela’s in the middle. – That is so good. How much often, how often does she cook for you, my friend? – [Chase] I usually, for like big events we go to hers like for Thanksgiving and Christmas and things like that. – She knows what’s up. – Call me- – She does. – And then one- – What’s her name, Pat? – [Stevie] And the one in front of Rhett is Pizza Hut- – Pizza Hut got good pasta. – And the one in front of Link is Trader Joe’s. – Trader Joe’s, y’all need to go back to the drawing board. – This is hurtin’. – What happened? (dramatic music) – Mm, what do we got here? – Pizza. – Is it pizza? – They told me. – Oh, okay. – I’m not cheating. They just told me it was pizza. – [Link] Okay. – [Rhett] I can tell by the crust. – I’m a pick it up. I’m a eat it. Oh, this one’s floppy. Well, that’s, I mean homemade pizza’s a hard thing to do. Seems like that’s where you might want to prefer the- – [Rhett] You might wanna prefer it. – The pizza hut. Mm, are they the same types of pizzas? – [Stevie] Uh, no. – [Rhett] Not really. I mean, I just tasted two of them and can answer that question. – I just didn’t know if I didn’t get everything. Well, why the heck are none of this obviously Pizza Hut? – I think one of them was. – Mm, I can’t figure it out. Okay. – What is that? – I’m just giving it another, just giving it a hand test. (crew laughs) – You’re putting them on a different plate. – No, I’m not. That would be wrong. All right, I’m ready. – I’m not. – Oh, I gotta. – What happened down here, is this yours or mine? – I gotta use my flag. – [Stevie] That was Link’s. It’s okay. (crew laughs) – Stop eating pizza, man. – All right. – Okay, gentlemen. – The robots are watching. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Ha! Oh, we’re in the same place, aren’t we? (crew laughs) Okay. I think we agree. – Oh, so it’s right here. – I think we’re betting against your aunt grandma because this is some floppy man, and I think it’s just hard to be- – But the flavor of it was great, though. – [Stevie] Yeah, that’s Abuela Pat’s pizza on Rhett’s side. – This is the best flavored. – [Stevie] But you said you couldn’t tell which one was Pizza Hut. – No, ’cause you got like the jank Pizza Hut like thin crust stuff. – This is Pizza Hut. – [Stevie] Yeah, the one in the middle is Trader Joe’s and then the one on Link’s side is Pizza Hut. – This one, again, Trader Joe’s, something’s happened to y’all. Y’all lost the plot. – Trader Joe not even watching the show. All right, so that’s it over all. I mean, we’re not doing anymore rounds of this. We know enough to assess whether this is worthy of an episode if we agree with the AI. – So are people thinking should I go to Trader Joe’s? Like these are three different things, three different like types of experiences. – I think it works. – Fast food, make it at home by yourself or get your grandma to make it for you. – You were slightly interested. – [Rhett] And I had a good time eating. – [Link] So we’re gonna say AI- – [Together] All hail. – But it, it’s time for “10 Worst Ways to Get Someone To Stop Eating.” So AI thought this would make a great episode. But what does 10 worst ways to get someone to stop eating exactly mean? Well, here’s how we interpreted it. The Mythical writers came up with a list of 10 ineffective ways to get someone to stop eating and then put those to a poll for the entire Mythical crew to vote on. – Okay. – Those results determine our ranking, number one being the worst way to get someone to stop eating a/k/a the most ineffective. – In other words, we are trying very hard to make this work, AI. – Yeah. – Chase, our brainy research assistant. Hey, man. – Hey, how’s it going? – Good. – You really skipped ahead. – Yeah, real rainy day. – You’ve put all but three. – 7 out of 10. – On the board already. So if we end up with nine correct, meaning we get two out of the last three correct, then we will win a prize that AI has picked on its own. – Based on past GMM prizes. – All right. Well, okay, so let’s go through what we already have. So at the top, the worst way to get someone to stop eating is to very politely ask the eater to stop. That’s is a very ineffective way. – What kind of faith does the Mythical crew not have in humanity that that’s the most ineffective way to get someone to stop eating- – That’s sad. – Is just to ask them. – Politely. – Number two, cast a big net over the eater and the food so they’re trapped together. – And they can keep eating together. – Yeah, that seems like a dumb way. – That’s problematic. – Number three, Velcro eater’s wrist to the table. – Velcro is pretty easy to get out of. – Yes, it is. You wanna read one of these? – Yeah. – Read. – Number four. – [Rhett] Place a sign by food that reads too hot to eat. – Oh, that would scare me away. Number five we gotta fill in. Number six, put a hand in front of the eater’s mouth. – That works for a while. – [Link] Yeah, they’re getting more effective. – [Rhett] Number seven, make retching noises. – That’s gonna trigger some people. Eight’s for us. Number nine, toss a fake roach on the food. – [Rhett] Very effective. – All right. So let’s see what our first bad way that we have to place is. (dramatic music) – Whoo. – Oh, what. – Oh, yeah. – [Link] What is that? – [Rhett] What is the picture of? – Show us the picture, Trevor. – Is that? – Is that? – Is that Rihanna? – I believe it’s Rihanna. – Okay. – Okay. – That is an effective way to accomplish a lot of things. – [Link] All right, okay, we get the idea. – He is, maybe he thinks that Rihanna is those nuggets and maybe he got confused. – I mean, David Hill did not stop eating, but he did stop chewing. Now he’s just sitting there not chewing. Okay, that’s a lot of nuggets, man. – Now we can’t switch these at the end and we don’t know where the next ones are. I gotta think that that’s not, that’s not that bad. – [Link] He didn’t stop eating. – I mean, like sometimes, don’t you like to watch sexy photos sometimes when you’re eating? – I don’t like to watch anything while I’m eating. – I don’t think this is- – So that one’s ineffective. – That effective. – I think that’s a five. – [Link] The next one might be more effective. – [Rhett] The safe play may be to put it at eight? – It’s a safe play, but we can’t switch. – I’m not gonna contribute since I voted. – [Link] All right, let’s put it at five. – Okay. You sure? – [Link] You’re not saying anything. – It doesn’t seem to stop making people, make people not wanna eat at all. – Right. – In fact, it might increase your appetite. – That means five. – Yeah, five. – Five. – All right, let’s see the next one. (dramatic music) He’s already- – Hocus pocus, may be bogus, but now your food smells of halitosis. Alakazam, alakazoo, ala got you. (thunder roars) – Whoa. – So- – What just happened? – [Link] So a witch spell, man. Oh, put a curse on the food. – Oh, that was a curse. That was a curse. – All right, there was a curse placed on his food. I don’t know, it really depends on, I mean the halitosis part. – [Stevie] But look at David Hill. – [Rhett] He doesn’t wanna eat anymore. – [Link] Look at him not wanting to eat. – [Chase] Smells like bad breath, yeah. – So he’s saying, he’s saying without words that the curse worked. – Hold on. – Was that the wicked witch of West Hollywood? (crew laughs) – Uh-oh. No, that’s Chris Fancher. – Okay. – I don’t think this is that effective. – Really? – No, I don’t really believe in curses. – I think, yeah, you have to believe that it’s effective in order for it to be effective and most people don’t believe in curses, so I think we’re stuck putting this at eight. – Yeah, let’s put it at eight. I think I just, honestly, I just wanna get this over with. I don’t think this is a great segment. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – I mean, I think we’re losing people left and right. – Yeah, right. (dramatic music) Uh-oh. – [Link] Oh, goodness, is that a super soaker? – Ma, ma, ma. – [Rhett] She’s having fun and I think and he’s, I think it’s turning him into a zombie. (David mumbles) – He’s getting a little soaked, isn’t it? – He’s still eating. I don’t think he’s having a good time. – He’s really having a hard time. He is being soaked to the point he can’t even sit in his chair. His hat has been soaked off of his head. – I think that that super soaker needs to be treated with that pill that increases flow. You know what I’m saying. – Talking about a Flomax. – Whatever you call it. – [Link] You went drippy drip on it. – [Rhett] Okay, he had some trouble, but you know what? Regardless of what we think about this, we actually have to put it at number one. – Oh, yeah, so we can only get one- – And number 10. – Or three. – So there’s- – We’re stuck with making this the most effective way. – Although I think nothing is effective. – [Rhett] The most effective ineffective way to get someone to stop eating a super soaker to the face. – Yeah, I think that works. – So that’s our final. – Okay, guys. – We’re locked in. – [Stevie] Well, going from the most effective to least effective, the answers are 10, super soaker to the face. – Yes. – [Stevie] Eight, put a curse on the food. – Yeah! – [Stevie] Five, distraction via sexy photo on a fishing line. You did it. – We nailed it, so what’s our prize? – Hi. – AI wanted what? – There you go. – What is this? Milk. – Milk, a cheese sandwich, milk and potato chips. (crew laughs) – Is it caught, that was it? – [Stevie] Well, specifically a half gallon of milk, yeah. – Oh, mm, a half gallon. This sucks guys. I mean, I’m sorry you had to sit through this. – And not just the prize. This whole segment- – The whole thing. – Sucked. – I feel sorry, it was all for nothing David Hill. – [Link] This is an AI- – [Together] Big fail. – [Rhett] Now it’s time for “Stranger Buys My Kid Dinner, I Guess Their Orders.” – Quick reminder to check out Mythical podcast, whether you wanna hear tales from high school in the early 2000s or you’re wondering what’s going on in the minds of your favorite online creators.

Let me tell you what. – “Trevor Talks Too Much” available on Spotify, Apple, wherever you get your podcast and subscribe so you never miss an episode, plus you can see the latest clips of all of the podcasts on @mythicalpods on TikTok. – Mm-hmm, okay. When we heard this title, there was only one possible way to execute it in our opinion. Someone we don’t know will buy a meal for one of our kids and then we’re gonna try to guess what they ordered. – Okay. – So let’s see the first one. – Hi, my name is Dana. I’ll be your stranger this evening. I’m ordering dinner for Lando. – [Link] Oh, okay. – [Rhett] Based on what? – [Link] I don’t know. Does she know he’s 12? – What does she know about Landon? – Does she know that he likes, that he likes or doesn’t like wings? – Yeah, does he know that he’s a boneless guy or a bone in guy, I mean, like what does she know? – What does this stranger- – Who is this woman? – What was this stranger told, nothing? – The stranger who was told nothing. – [Link] This is great. – Guess what they’re going to do. – But they know it’s a kid. I think, I think there’s boneless wings in there and it’s- – [Stevie] Oh, you’re going without options on this one. – Oh. I get, oh, yeah, give me options. – Boneless lemon pepper wings. – That’s what I was gonna say, boneless lemon pepper wings. – [Stevie] Okay, well, option A is an eight-piece boneless combo with lemon pepper and Louisiana rub. B. – That’s my answer. – [Stevie] 20-piece bone-in combo with mango habanero and garlic Parmesan. – Why would she buy 20 for a child? – I don’t know this woman. She could be, I don’t know, off her rocker. – [Stevie] C, large plain thigh bites combo. – Oh, have you had the thigh bites? – I haven’t had the thigh bites. – I haven’t either. I’m thinking about getting them. – It’s like that little medallion that you pluck out. – It’s just a piece of a thigh. – Oh, I like that. – [Stevie] Or D, veggie sticks tossed in barbecue sauce and a brownie. – A. We already said A. – Yeah, we already said A. – We knew that it was A. – Tonight, Lando is having veggies tossed in barbecue sauce and a brownie. Hopefully he doesn’t prefer mustard. – [Together] What’s wrong with you? (crew laughs) (Link laughs) – Yeah, who is that? I mean, there’s a reason why she’s gonna remain a stranger. – Yeah, I don’t wanna ever get to know that woman. – That’s a dumb stranger. – I know everything I need to know about that woman. – Now she’s not connected to anyone. – That’s like somebody’s girlfriend, isn’t it? – She’s a stranger to everybody here, right? She’s somebody- – She’s somebody’s significant other. – She’s somebody’s partner. – [Stevie] She’s somebody’s friend, that’s fine. She’s a stranger. She’s a stranger to us all. – She’s a stranger. Well, let’s see our second stranger. Boy, this is great. (Rhett laughs) – Hi, I’m Paige and unlike everyone at this Taco Bell, you don’t know me. But I’m buying Locke dinner tonight. – [Rhett] Okay. Okay. – [Link] This is so weird. That’s a big bag for Locke. – Is Paige a nut, as well? I don’t know. She seems completely normal. – So what would Locke get at Taco Bell? – First of all, I don’t know if he would go. Shepherd’s the Taco Bell guy. Locke’s picky, man. – Lincoln’s a Taco Bell guy at my house. – But I think a stranger would probably get him a quesadilla? – Well, let’s see the- – And a soft taco. – Okay, oh, in a big bag. Is that one of the options Stevie? – [Stevie] A quesadilla and a soft taco, no. A, 32 cheesy roll-ups and 16 packs of Diablo sauce. – This is so dumb. – [Stevie] B, one black bean crunch wrap supreme, two black bean soft tacos, four black bean queseritos and a coffee. C. – I didn’t even know they had black beans. – [Stevie] Cinnamon twists, a 12-pack of Cinnabon delights, a side of guacamole and a large Baja blast or D, a spicy potato taco and a chicken quesadilla. – Based on the size of the bag, I’m going with B, ’cause you said a lot of things. Beans and coffee. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – I got Locke a whole lotta beans. I asked for a side of Febreze, but they told me to get out. – Oh, Febreze, yeah, ’cause of the bean. – Strangers are so weird. (crew laughs) I mean, did she know your bean fetish, I wonder. – I don’t how- – Assumed it applied to the son? – I don’t feel like, I feel like this whole thing has unsettled my relationship with reality. – Which is totally appropriate because, I mean, this could all be a simulation. – It might be. – Simulated by AI. – Yeah, but I think we’re all on the same page on how we feel about this one. This is an AI- – [Together] Big fail. AI, you are slipping, girl. You got- – Whoa, whoa, whoa, girl? Just say- – It’s just a saying. – Just say you’re thing. – You’re slippin’ thang. – Yeah. It’s key, you know. I mean, I don’t, whatever- – I don’t wanna cross you. – Just work yourself out. – I don’t know why I’m looking up. – Yeah, you got me looking up. – Things aren’t looking up. – So- – One out of three. – Okay, so AI’s- – Not good. – Gonna keep working. 33%, that’s not bad. It’s bad. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hello, I’m Bally from (indistinct) and it’s time to spin the wheel of mythicality. – With some flair. – The pizazz. – Click the top link to learn what five foods partners should never eat together on “Good Mythical More.” – And to find out where the wheel of mythicality’s gonna land. – [Rhett] Hey, we wanna let you know about a brand new podcast hosted by our very own mythical kitcheneer, Trevor, called “Trevor Talks too Much.” Check it out on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
