Who’s the worst kind of airplane passenger? – Let’s talk about that. (bright music) – Good Mythical Morning. – Flying is fraught with pitfalls. There’s lines, then there’s other lines, then you take off your shoes, then you put your shoes back on. And then once you’re on board, you pay 20 bucks for a dry muffin and a Dasani and hope that the guy sitting next to you doesn’t do any of this stuff that we’re gonna be talking about today. – Yes, to bring some awareness to the behaviors that must go, we asked the internet, AKA you, what’s the most obnoxious thing people do on airplanes? And the internet, AKA you, has spoken. It’s time for “Manners Still Matter When You’re Up in the Sky. For God’s Sake, Sir, Take Your Travel Pillow Off My Upper Thigh.” – Does that happen to you? – Yeah. – You get the pillow on the upper thigh? – Yeah. – We posted a list of the worst, most annoying things passengers can do on an airplane, and the crew tabulated the results to create the top 10 list that is being revealed by Chase, our brainy research assistant. – Oh, hey boys. – [Link] Oh, you look like you’re hard at work. – Oh yeah, doing all the research. – Your head’s flustered. – Oh, yeah, sorry. – [Link] Okay, you’re good. – No apologies required. I see that you’ve already put four of the ten up there on the board in the right place for us. – Yeah, let’s look at these. Number 10 as the least worst thing to do on an airplane, hog the arm rests. One of these things. Have you ever got into a pushing battle with a complete stranger? – Well, as I’ve established, I’m a big man and so I kind of naturally are in this place where I kind of feel like I don’t deserve it, but like, it’s just, it’s naturally, they’re there. And if I don’t think about it, then there’s another big guy next to me, ooh, it can get ugly. – All right, we’re skipping nine. For eight, bring stinky food on board. I thought that would be higher so that’s kind of surprising to me. – I think it happens less and less. I think it’s really obnoxious, but it doesn’t happen as often. – [Link] Number seven, hurry to leave upon landing. – Oh, this is- – I don’t… Do we have to start telling you how it works? I mean, it’s like- – Yeah, if you’re in a row behind a person, just because they haven’t stood up yet, now you don’t need to just wait around, but like, everyone doesn’t have to stand up. – You have to wait. – And the worst one on the list at number three, be smelly. – Yeah. – Yeah, that’s just, you’re gonna be next to people in an enclosed space. You gotta be thinking about your personal hygiene. Just a way to be respectful. – Yeah, all right, so we gotta add to these. We only have to add three more to get our prize. – Yeah, at the end of the day, we gotta have seven out of ten so just three additional ones. And then if we do that successfully, we win a very special trip to the cockpit. – We get a special trip to the cockpit. – Yeah, we get to go over there, see the pilots. – I’m actually nervous about this one. (bright music) – [Stevie] Now, before we begin, we do have some in-flight entertainment for you to enjoy. – Ooh, yes. – Hello, passengers and welcome to Mythic-Air. Before today’s departure, there will not be a safety presentation because you’re smart, you’ve seen seat belts, right? You get it. Today’s presentation is “How to Not Be the Worst on This Airplane.” Let us begin. When seated next to a complete stranger, do not engage in heavy conversation. A simple, “Hey, is anyone sitting here?” And then nothing else is fine. Just sit down and chill the heck out. They didn’t bring a book so you could ask about the book. They wanna read that book and pass out until the beverage cart comes by with that sweet, sweet free ginger ale, so shush it. Nope. I said no. Don’t be a David Hill. – Wow, David Hill- – Oh, wow, David Hill, his feelings were hurt. – He’s been crushed. – He just wanted to talk. – He’s been crushed. – For a guy who like, does a lot of motions and not a lot of talking. (crew members laughing) – I like to think that he was actually not talking when they filmed that video. – I don’t think he was. – He was definitely… Was he miming? – I bet you- – Was that mime talking? – He was mime talking, wasn’t he? – We got it both ways. – Maybe all of these are gonna hit home for me. – They’re all annoying to everyone. I don’t think they’re just annoying to you. – But they’re so annoying to me, Rhett. – This one is tough because I feel like I’m pretty good at shutting this down just with headphones. – Yeah, shoop. – So it’s like, this is annoying, but you can shut it down so easily. You can’t shut down somebody’s smell. – Right, it’s below that. – [Rhett] So it’s below that. – But boy, when the two people in front or behind you both want to talk to each other, it’s like they’ve discovered a new element and they’re just ecstatic about it. And they’re talking the whole five hour flight. I mean, it’s just crazy, that’s worse. – I think because of that, because this can affect more people than just your person next to you- – Six? – Six. – [Link] Six it is. – [Rhett] This feels like six. – Yes, we can switch it later, of course. I’m feeling like we’re gonna go a hundred percent. – Okay, me too. (bright music) – A friendly reminder, when we say make yourself at home, we don’t mean show us your feet. We know some people are into that, but please be reasonable. We’re in a big aluminum Bud Light tall boy hurtling through the sky and people need to breathe. This aircraft is an amazing feat of science, unlike your feet, which should be studied by science. This guy is truly the worst. – Well, Mikayla’s not taking this well. – I just love the fact that she can give that look in response to someone else besides me. – Yep, that’s true, yeah, it’s a universal look. But it seems like it has a little more spice to it when it’s in response to you, that’s all I gotta say. – I have to admit something. I’ve done this. – You’ve taken your shoes off? – And socks? – Yeah, but not all the way ’cause what I’ll do is I pack my travel socks. So when I sit down at my seat, I take my shoes off, I take my walking socks off and I immediately put on a travel sock. You know, like a travel sock. – Like a compression sock? – [Chase] Compression sock? – Yeah, like a compression sock. – Are you doing it for blood clots? – Yeah, once I heard about getting blood clots, I started traveling- – Seriously, is that the reason or is it just for comfort thing? – No, ’cause I don’t want a blood clot. – Helpful hint, I think you can walk in those. – No, but they’re tight for that long. They’re tight for too long. ‘Cause when you take ’em off, it’s like wherever they pinch at the top and they pinch throughout. It’s like, I’m like, “Is my leg going to come back to its normal shape?” I only like to wear them when I’m an altitude or right before hitting altitude. – Now I feel like this is gonna make it difficult for you to be unbiased. – But exposing your feet is basically a form of smelliness and I would not do that. I expose a foot just long enough to get the travel sock over it. – Wow, okay, this feels, I just don’t think it’s number nine. It feels like it’s gonna be higher, but it’s definitely not above, it’s not four. I think we gotta just put it at five. – But the thing about being smelly is that you might can be like, “Well, you know, maybe I feel sorry for this person. Maybe they’re really nervous and they couldn’t help being smelly.” But like, there’s some volition in taking your shoes and socks off. – But how much does it annoy you? ‘Cause the reason- – I think it annoys me more because it’s a choice that you can make. – Being smelly covers this, you know what I’m saying? ‘Cause the main thing about the shoes and the socks is it being smelly. This is a specific form of smelly. – You’re not listening to me. “You’re not listening to me.” That’s what you say to me when you don’t respond to my argument. – What you’re saying is that because somebody had a choice, it makes it worse. – Right, I agree. – But that doesn’t make the effect on an individual worse. – No. – There’s no way. You think it’s one or two? Okay, put it at two and see how wrong it is later. – All right, two. – [Rhett] Okay (laughs). (bright music) – On the side of your seat, you’ll notice a button to recline. Don’t use it. We get it, why would the button still be there if it’s rude to use it? I mean, there’s still ashtrays in airplane bathrooms. Are you still using those? No, you’re not. This button is like that. Just ball up a sweatshirt and use it as a pillow on the tray table like the rest of us, Hey, don’t sass me. You’re the worst. – So this is just putting your seat back or reclining your seat too far? I think that it’s set at a place where it is supposed to be not a huge inconvenience for the person behind you. – Nah. – If it happens super, super quickly like it did in the video, that’s bad. – Like if you jam it back? – Yeah. – Yeah, don’t do a sudden motion. – To me, obviously, I have to go back, right? So I just go like this, I hit the button. I look like I’m getting ready to back up a car. – You look? – I look. – [Chase] Easier rear dash cam. – Because of course, I can see right over the seat. – Do you go (beeps)? – And then I’m like, actually I could start doing that. I like to be respectful. So I just do it very, very slowly and then I kind of settle. – I almost felt like your seat, yeah, it does. Your seat actually goes back. – [Chase] Respectfully in your lap. – But that was pretty impressive, right? – Our seats do recline, see? Look at that. – I feel like think the manufacturers make them to be like, okay, this is okay. But then airlines put them closer together so they can sell more tickets. – Well, that is true, they’re getting smaller and smaller. But I just feel like this has gotta be number nine. – See, we agree. I mean, the moment she said “That button, don’t use it,” I was shocked. – No, you gotta have the button. The button is the only reason I can make it through a flight. – ‘Cause everybody uses the button except for the person at the very back or the person right in front of the emergency exit, which don’t fall for that. – Yeah, never be in front of the emergency exit. – Never be in front of the emergency exit. Because then everybody’s like, doop, doop, and then you’re like, (groans). – Yeah. – It sucks. It sucks for you but that’s your problem. Number nine. – All right, okay. Feeling okay about that. (bright music) – If you must inconvenience the passenger behind you by reclining your seat, the very least you could do is not… What is wrong with you? Oh my God, stop. You are not a toddler. This guy should be on a list. – Wow, that David Hill is trouble. – Yeah, he is. I’ve never flown with the guy. – Yeah, I don’t think I will now. – I’m so glad. – Kick the seat in front of you, this is very annoying. – Especially for you because you’re already touching the seat in front of you in multiple places, as you’ve told me millions of times. – And you move your seat back into their lap. – Oh man, this might be number two, but that’s already been taken with take off your shoes and socks. – [Link] Kicking the seat in front of you. – Even if this is a child doing it, it still makes me mad. – Let’s put it at number one. Look how mad you are, look how mad you are. If you think it’s number two, then it needs to be number one for now. Kicking the seat in front of you, currently sitting at number one. – It’s bad. – Did it ever think it would be there? – Hmm, I don’t know. – Will it stay there? Let’s find out. (bright music) – To your right and left, you’ll notice armrests where you can comfortably place your arms while we- oh my god. I’m so sorry, but you’re on your own. This man is clearly a serial killer and I did not train for that. I can offer you some drink tickets and a coupon to Sbarro. Does that help? – That happen to you? – Does this happen? – With children, it has. I’ll see a child’s foot come through and I grab it and I break the ankle. (crew members laugh) – [Chase] I feel like this happens- – That’s what I do, and I’m like, liability is on the parents, man. – If you keep twisting it til the foot comes off, do you get to keep it? – Yep, if you get the foot off, you take it all. – Lucky child’s foot. – I feel like this happens on the window seat a lot where like, all of a sudden, I just get like the tip of the foot on the back of my armrest and it starts to slowly tip. – Well, I think- – That’s a bit much. – I think this is highly annoying, but the fact that you said, and I agree with you. Does this happen to you? Like, how many flights does this happen? Outta 10 flights, how many times? You could go 10 flights and this wouldn’t happen at all. – Yeah. – I think this is low, man. – It’s a dumb thing to do on an airplane. Like something that’s like, “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe this person is doing this. It’s so improbable that I’m experiencing this.” Does that make it less annoying or actually more annoying? – No one gets into that level of analysis when they’re filling out these surveys, right? They’re just like, stick your feet through the seat cracks. Like, how often do I have to deal with that? But like, “Oh, kicking that seat.” I don’t know what’s the most common, but I think we gotta put this at five because it’s probably wrong at five but we can’t put it at four. – I feel fine with five. – Fine with five. – Okay, we got one more. But you know what? – What? – It’s Stevie’s birthday. – I can’t believe it. (Rhett vocalizing) (crew members clapping) I can’t believe we waited this long into the episode to say Stevie- – [Both] Happy birthday. – [Stevie] Thank you so much. I’m having so much fun talking about the worst things that you can do on an airplane today. – Well, this is what you asked for, isn’t it? – [Stevie] Yes. – Well, you know what? We’re gonna fly you anywhere in the continental US you want to go with David Hill for your birthday. – Yes, right. Continental. – Right. And we’re gonna take his shoes and socks so he has to be barefoot. – [Stevie] Okay, this gonna become the next camping trip thing and then we’re gonna be on a plane together. – All right, but we want to take the celebration of your birthday from you and give it to Mythical Beasts, is that okay? – [Stevie] Yeah. – In the name of selling merchandise but we do have, like, a charity angle. So does that work? – Yes. – [Stevie] Yes. – All right. We’re releasing our very first Mythical keytags. Check these things out. They are intentionally retro, like what hotel room keychains used to look like. – Not accidentally retro. – There’s three different ones. If you buy the one that says, “Everybody knows I love lesbians,” which is in honor of you, Stevie, but it is my quote so it’s kind of in honor of me and you, a portion of the proceeds of that keychain are going to OutRight Action International. – Yeah, we also got a couple other keytags available with phrases like, “Be your mythical best,” and “Everything’s okay ’cause I’m on vacation,” and they’re all available at Mythical.com. – Check ’em out. Use ’em to put your keys on. – Keychain, yeah, yeah. Intentionally retro. – All right, let’s see the last one. (bright music) – An important part of flying on a commercial airline is respecting other passengers’ personal space, which is all around us. Don’t touch other passengers and please, please, don’t use their body as a pillow. It’s called boundaries, people. Don’t be a David Hill. Don’t be the worst. This message was approved by Mythical Beasts and decent human beings everywhere. Thank you for flying with Mythic-Air. Bye bye. – Yeah, so you can’t put the A in both places. – Right, you gotta make a decision. – Mythica-ear, I don’t know. Those were great though. It almost looked like we were on a plane, except it was very white. – Yeah, like a plane in heaven. (crew members laugh) – Where do we get plane seats from? – Heaven. – Yeah, you can steal ’em off the side of the road. – Heaven? Plane heaven? Well, it has to go at four so go ahead and nestle it in there. – It’s gotta go at four but how do you feel about it? Because I feel like it’s, I mean, that is so intrusive. I feel like that might be more intrusive than the first two. – I don’t know. – Are you saying this as someone who has fallen asleep on me? Is that why you’re just saying this? ‘Cause you have been- – Yeah, I just feel like- – But I immediately wake you up. – Once you fall asleep, it’s just like, all you gotta do is just give them a little thing, like ugh. You know, it’s easily rectified. – It’s easily dealt with, that’s true. – You know? I think that has to go- – Well, let’s find out where we’re at. ‘Cause at this point, I don’t feel great at all about any of these. – Me neither. – [Stevie] That is a great instinct because you had the four that we already gave you and then you had one more, but other than that. – Oh, so we did get one additional one right. (Link sighs) – Okay, I’m gonna, I don’t know why, I just have this feeling that being a yappy seat mate is the worst thing, is the worst thing, is number one. That’s the thing that the average person is the most fearful of, is somebody who won’t shut up when they get next to them on a plane. – ‘Cause it’s real common? – It’s very common and I think people just don’t like strangers, they don’t wanna get in a conversation. – And it’s a hard thing to fix like if someone’s being nice to you, it’s really hard to say, “I’d rather not be talking to you.” It’s like, it’s just such a hard thing to do if they haven’t gotten the message. – If you don’t wanna be rude, ’cause even putting the headphones in can be perceived as being rude. – Let’s put that at number one just to see how it looks. And then you’re gonna have to- – I think kicking the seat in front of you is still pretty high though. – I wanna stick to my guns that taking your shoes and socks off is a number two. – I’m fine with it being, as long as it’s under smelly because I feel like smelly is worse than taking your shoes and socks off. So falling asleep on the person might be number two. That’s all I gotta say. – All right, move that to number two. – Are we gonna keep reclining your seat too far where it’s at and say that that’s the one we got right? I think that’s probably the right thing. – All right, so we’re gonna- – So we gotta switch, we have to switch- – [Link] Nothing. – [Rhett] Stick your feet through the cracks was not moved, right? – Move that down. You have to move that down. – [Rhett] And then kick the seat in front of you is- – [Link] Above that, yep, yep, yep, yep. – Now, I would put kick the seat in front of you at number four and take your shoes off at number five but if you feel strongly about that, we can keep it. – I’m not gonna let you do that because I wanted it at number two and I just, I need this. I really need it to be number four. – You really wanna visit the cockpit? – I wanna visit that cockpit. All right, we’re locked in. – [Stevie] Okay, well, you didn’t improve, you didn’t improve at all. Somehow you moved the one that you had correct previously, but then luckily moved another one into a correct spot. So I’m sorry to say you did not win this game, but you did win me telling you what the correct answers are. – All right, let’s hear it. – Oh, okay. – [Stevie] Okay, so over 28,000 Mythical Beasts voted. Here’s how it’s stacked up. Starting at 10, hog the armrests. Nine, fall asleep on the person next to you. – [Rhett] Oh gosh. – [Link] That low? – [Stevie] Eight- – Yeah, I see it now. (crew members laugh) – [Stevie] Bring stinky food onboard. Seven, hurry to leave upon landing. Six, be a yappy seatmate. – [Rhett] Dang it. – [Link] Man. – That was my bad, man. – [Stevie] Five, recline your seat too far. Four, take off your shoes and socks. – Ha! (crew members laugh) – Vindicated! – It wasn’t number two, okay. – But it was my number two answer. – Three, be smelly. Two, kick the seat in front of you. – Yep, we were right about that. We should have kept that up. – [Stevie] And number one, stick your feet through the seat cracks. – [Rhett] Dang. – [Stevie] Yeah, and by a large margin too, like twice. – Really? – [Stevie] Yeah, yeah. – [Chase] This happens to me. – Okay, well, alright, now I know it’s super annoying and I’m sorry, but I guess you like talking to people. – So we didn’t win a trip to the cockpit, but- – But what would we have won? What would it have looked like? Can we see? – [Stevie] Okay. (plane humming softly) (crew members laugh) – What airline is that? – Chase. (crew members laughing) – Is that Spirit Airlines? – That is Mythica-Air. – [Rhett] Oh, okay. – Chase’s spear-it. – But you know what? – You really have a problem, Chase, with being naked on- – No, I think we have a problem. – I don’t think it’s a problem, I think it’s a solution. – Yeah. You know what? But Stevie, it is your birthday. And from what I understand, there’s a trip to the cockpit that’s been prepared for you. (Rhett and Chase laugh) (Link laughs) – Okay. – Pretty similar to the first one. – Yeah, but there’s- – A little birthday message. – It was tailor made for you. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can make that, you know, your home screen or whatever. – And that, just to be clear, that was our gift. (crew members laughing) Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – I’m Ian. – I’m Isaiah. – I’m Josh and I have my lovely wife, Emily, behind the camera. We’re floating in a hot air balloon near Sioux Falls, South Dakota and it’s- – [All] Time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – It’s so peaceful up there. – They look kind of nervous, I’m just, I would be. – I don’t think they’re nervous about being in a hot air balloon, they’re nervous about being on GMM, I think. – Oh. – Click the top link to discover some strange abandoned travel destinations in “Good Mythical More.” – And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality’s gonna land. Take your mythicality here, there, and everywhere with our all new Mythical keytags available at Mythical.com.
